ECHO OF CUSTER MASSACRE
IN CLAIM FILED BY INDIANS
Treaty of 1868 Gave Promise of Pay
ment for Rich Lands in Black
Hills, Say the Sioux.

"reminiscences of the Custer fight la
the Little Big Horn in 1876 are revived
by the recent action of South Dakota's
Sioux Indian tribes in presenting their
demands on Black Hills land before the
United STATES court Of claims.
Seven million dollars worth of the
richest land in the western part of the
state is involved in the claim.
The treaty Of 1865 provided for pay
ment to the Indians for II section of the
country in which the Black Hills are
located. No payment was made. aud in
1877 another treaty was entered into.
BY the second treaty the agreement Of
1865 was modified SO that the clause
pertaining to settlement for the land
was stricken out.
The Sioux contend that the earlier
treaty expressly provided that no modi-
f%ication of its provisions should be held
binding, in any treaty which might be
subsequently made,
IL is also alleged that the treaty ef
1877 in behalf of the Indians was
made by IL few chiefs. not under full
authority, who acted under fear Of
punishment for their participation in

At Smyrna the Spanish built their first
fort on the Indian River, but finding
they could not defend themselves along
the ocean side, they covered it up and
moved up to st. Augustine and built
a new fort.
January 18th we started on TO Sea
Breeze and to Ormond. on the Halifax
river crossed the river to Ormond
Beach and the great Ormond Hotel.
then back to New Smyrna; taking in
all the different sights along the way.
We stayed there over night and on he

across country to Doland, then along
the main line to Polt Orange, then two

sugar mill. From there we took in

It may be said that alfalfa will
STOW satisfactorily on any of the Gull
stivated soils OF the farming regions,
but as with other crops 1t does best
on the fertile soils that contain an
abundance Of moisture, either from
rains or from ground water, which,
may be within six to ten feet of the
surface, or supplied by irrigation.
Alfalfa also requires an alkaline or,
lime soil, and 1t Is useless to attempt
growing in ar ven slightly acid soil.
The experiment stations and county
agents are required to render assist
ance#in determining the needs of n
soil in this respect. With very little
or expense they can determine
as to whether the soil is acid or al
kaline and If acid how much ground
lime stone is required to correct the
acidity. An acid or sour soil is Just
the opposite of an alkaline or lime
soil. While alfalfa. starts rather slow
.ly on heavy alkaline soils, when once
established it does remarkably we'll.
As a beginning, however, it would be
preferable when possible to select
favorable soil on which to start the
crop.
Preparation of Seed Bed.
~ pt VpCI pICp1L0 llOu SCSA DCA AZ
one of the essentials of success with
this crop. AS moisture must be con-
tanned in the soil to terminate the
seed of any crop, in regions of light
rainfall it may be advisable to deep
pillow, or subsoil, the land a year be-
fore the seed Is sown. for the pur-
pose of storing a supply of moisture.
However, on mos of the lands which
produce other crops successfully, this
may not be necessary. It has been
found that about as ideal a prepare
ton as can be made for alfalfa is. to
give the land a moderate coating of
good barnyard manure, and then
grow a cultivated or hoed crop. The
land should be given thorough cultiva-
ton and kept as level as possible.
The spring following a light disking
or thorough dragging, or the two
combined, will usually put this land
in ideal condition for seeding alfalfa
Seed Bed Must Be Soild-Put or
Plenty OF Work,
Because Of the fact that alfalfa seed
is very small it is quite often supposed
that the see bed should be deep and
loose. This, however, is exactly the
opposite to what it should be. Corn
land, potato land, or summer fallow
should be worked only deep enough
III the spring 10 destroy any WeeuS
that may have germinated, and the
soil beneath the top inch or so should
be so firm that even a horse walking
over it would sink in but slightly
This firming of the seeded brings the
moisture near the Surface so tina,
when the small seed first terminates
the rootlets will be able to AXE hold
of the solid soil at once. The addi.
ton of manure, the cultivated crop OF
summer following the year previous
should render the soil fertile inc re.
latively free from weeds. "
1t should be realized that an alfalfa
field, when properly established and
cared for, will produce crops for five
to ten years. This fact justifies put.
ting plenty of work on the prepare.
ton of the field. If the field is rough
and full of dead burrows, or othe,
depressions they ! should be levelleG

washington, Jan. 12.-President
Wilson is waiting for the right mos
ment In which to, begin his mediation
between the Armenians and Turkish
Nationalists. It was said in q high
quarter that Immediately the oppor-
-tunity presented itself he would act
Henry Mor8enthau, whom President
Wilson selected as his personal repre-
sentative, has, 1t was learned. COM
pleted his study OF the information
bearing on the question furnished him
by the state department and is pre-
pared to move X and when he receives
instructions from the president.
It was a matter of doubt whether
he would go to Constantinople, as 1t
has been discovered that there are
avenues Of approach to the principals
in the situation (which do not abso-
lutely ~necessitate Mr.. Morgenthau's
going there. It would require a
month for him to reach the Turkish
capital, leaving one month in which
President Wilson might have at his
disposal the facilities offered by his
high office for prosecuting the work
OF mediation.
There appeared to be no hope that
the governments represented on the
council Of the League Of Nations
would expedite thar long-delayed
compliance with President Wilson'S
request for information and Assurance
Of their support. and he Is depending
mainly now on intelligence obtained
for him by the state department.
