Indian Methods Of Har-
vesting and Storing

Some interesting studies re-
garding the Indians methods of
harvesting and storing various
crops were made on a recent
trip which C. R. Fillerup, coun-
ty farm agent for Navajo and
Apache counties, and Prof. S. P.
Clark, extension agronomist,
University of Arizona, made into
the Hopi Indian reservation.
Watermelons are picked after
the first light frosts and stored
in piles in the family living
room. They are then used as
they ripen. Their white water
melon will ripen during the win
ter and keeps in good eating
flavor until March and April.
The seed of this variety was
given to the Indians thirty years
ago by David Brinkerhoff, of
Woodruff, who at the time re-
sided at Tuba. AS Indians are
very fond of melons and as this
one will keep good flavor longer
than any other melon. it found
favor with them. Musk melons
and cantaloupes are also grown
by the Hopis.
The squash is a staple article
of food and carefully harvested
and stored in a convenient place
in the dwelling house, or it may
be cut into ringlets, dried and
stored for winter use. I h e
squash is native to America and
seeds are often found in caves
and ruins in common with corn
and beans.
The Indian lets his corn ma
ture thcfoughly in the field be-
fore harvesting for meal and
seed purposes. Much green corn
is roasted or cooked in Indian
''cook stoves" these being pits
in the ground which have been
we'll heated with fire, the fire is
drawn and the corn ears with
husks on are neatly placed in
the pits and covered completely
with leaves and mud to make a
close cover, thus forming an
efficient fireless cooker. When
quite cooked, the corn is taken
out and the husks removed, save
few which are braided into a
corn line with the ears hanging
down to dry. The dried prod
ucts are afterwards stored in
neat cordwood-like piles h e
same as mature corn or are left
hanging from the ceiling until
wanted for food.
The mature corn is husked
from the hills before cutting
the stalks. Each h ill when
husked is bent over sharply at
the ground and left in this fash
ion until the whole field has
been husked. The hills contain
from seventeen to twenty-five
stalks each. The field having
been husked, the stalks are cut
with heavy hoe or shovel, tied
into bundles and stacked for
feed. The ear corn is stored in
the dwelling house, cordwood
fashion, until needed for sale,
food or for seed. The Indian
does not shell corn until it is
needed for immediate use. Ap-
proximately two years supply
is kept on hand.
Strings of red chill may be
seen suspended on the outer
walls to dry preparatory to
storage.
Peaches are produced in abun-
dance from seeding trees, grown
in sand dunes. The fruit is cut
into halves and dried and stored
away from insects for future use.

There are in European countries
many such buildings that date actually

methods of house construction has long
been praCticed, and recently 1t mas
been adopted with great success in
South Africa and other British colonies.
Planks are set up on edge to form II
mold, and the space between is filled
with earth, which is then ramlned as
tight as possible. The ramming, OF
course, can be done much more adj
vantageously and cheaply by machine;
likewise the digging.
