SANTA. BARBARA. Cal. Nov. IA.
THE American Indian was scared
20 death when he saw q white man
for the first time. He knew ali about
his hereditary enemies and how to
cope with them, but who was this
strange creature with white skin
who fired death from O. stick and
rode on q strange aflirnal--a horse
of q kind unknown to the Indians?"
John e. Harrington, archaeblpg ist
for the Smithsonian Institution and
the Heye Foundation OF the Museum
of the American Indian in New York
city, today told the Cosmopolitan
News Service what happened to the
descendants or the prehistoric man
whose bones he has found here.
ION the Pacific Coast the situation
approximately 400 years Aro was
comparable to Germany prior to 1870.
Germany was quarfelif1g with her
own people. Before the coming OF
the white man here the Indians wSre
waging bitter warfare among them.
selves. The wandering Indian
tribes had developed no weapons Ax-
cept those used for killing animals.
The first white man the Indians
ever saw was the Spanish explorer.
CAbrillo, who sailed through Santa
Barbara Channel and landed on this
cost In 1542. It was the thrill Of
the ages for the Indians. They had
rude roWboats, hut q sailing vessel
such az the one which garfield Gu.
brilio was beyond their coimprehen-
sion. And when CabriIlo brought q
horse ashore from his ship ana rode
the animal, you can imagine the
CONSERVATION Of the Indians, for n
horse was an unknown animal to
them
"The next white man to visit the
Pacific Coast was the Spaniafd Wis
caino, who came here in 1901. IN
the interim the Indians had tnAgni-
fled the appearance and power Of the
white man. Those who as children
had seen the white man were now
past middle age.
Indians Terror Stricken.
I'm 1859 the first land expedition
of three hundred men headed by
Don Gaspar PortoIa came up from
Mexico. Mules were used for pack
ing supplies. Never before had tho
Indians seen mules. The Indians
could have wiped out this force with
the greatest ease. The Indians, how
ever, believed in witchcraft and black
magic. They saw that the new
corners had more powerful magic
than they. The Indians' awe be-
came terror. The invaders spread
foreign sickness among the In
dams.
The white man soon conceived the
idea Of fusing the Indian with white
stock with a view to civilizing him.
It was a grave mistake. The Amer.
lean Indian should have been allowed
to develop his own civilization. It
would not have been the same civill-
zation as ours, but it undoubtedly
would have advanced along lines
where we have gone backward. Tho
Indians were q sturdier race than
we are. Tuberculosis, smallpox,
cancer and diseases common to the
white race were unknown to the In.
dams before the white man came
among them.
s'sAIl we have accomplished with
our 'fuging' il q dRrt-complexioned
man, who is not SO healthy as an
Indian or as progressive as white
man. What you see today is the last
dying gasp Of the American Indian"

HOG MARKET
AT LOSANGELESY Yard

One Of the most active and firmly
established hog markets in the coun-
try has been developed at the Los
Angeles Union Stock Yards, through
cooperation of the Los Angeles and
Vernon packers, the Los Angeles
Live Ssock Exchange and the repre-
sentative of the packers and stock
yards administration, U. S. depart
ment of agriculture. Through this
arrangement, all good and choice
granted 100 to 200-pound hogs are
purchased on a basis of $3.50 above
the top at Kansas City, a primary
market.
This arrangement has been in eff
feet for about two weeks and has
worked out perfectly. Shippers are
requested to advise their commission
firm at the stock yards about one
week before shipping, so that sup.
plies may be regulated and that Los
Angeles packers may be in shape tx
take everything coming in.
Receipts at the yards have been av
eraging from 1000 to 5000 per weel
and this number is gradually, beinl
increased.

TON-LITTER CONTESTS HELP
MAKE BETTER HOG RAISER

H~og-growing contests in which the
object is to make a litter weigh a ton
when six months old, have demon
strated the ~soundness of the recon-
mendations on breeding, feeding, and
management which have long been
made by the various state experiment
stations and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture In one Of
these contests conducted last year by
the Indiana Livestock Breeders AS
ISOLATION, 555 farmers enrolled and
S3 of them raised So litters which
weighed 1000 pounds or more at the
end of 1870 days.
Important facts for big producers
to remember, is that all of the win
ming litters were narrowed and sue
kled in clean quarters; all were sired
by p~ure-brcd boars; % of the dams
were p~ure-bred, 6 were high grades
and 2 c~ross-breds; none of the SO lit.

cultivation Of this crop may be worth
while. Where irrigation waters leave
a crust Of silt on the fields the use
of the harrow to break it up seems
advisable. Also where irrigated al
fatfa is pastured it as sometimes a
good practice to use a harrow to
loosen up the soil, especially if 1T is
heavy-textured. When weeds and
grass threaten to choke out the al
falfa the life of the stand may be
p~rofitably prolonged for a year or
two by narrowing.
The best implement for this pur-
pose is the alfalfa harrow, which is a
modification of the spring-tooth har-
row. The spike-tOoth harrow may be
used on the lighter soils, but is of
little use on the heavy soils. The
disc harrow is very liable to prove in

UNITING COLONIES OF BEES.
(By o. A. Sipple, Montana State
College.)

S01
There are two distinct periods dur
ing the year when in some cases bees
should be united. These periods are:
~ In the spring and ~ in the fall.
Practical ~beekeeping experience has
shown that it is a waste of time to
try to build up ~queenless colonies in
the spring. Queenless colonies at this
time of the year, unless united, are
a hopeless case. Queenless colonies
made to a their own queens in the
spring will be too late in building up
to take advantage of the honey flow.
Weak colonies, even though they be
queenright, should be united with an
other colony of medium strength in
order to insure best results from both
colonies at the commencement of the
honey flow.
Beekeepers are agreed that only
strong colonies should be put into
winter quarters. Colonies which do
not more than both sides of
four frames are too weak to winter
successfully. Such colonies should be
united with medium colonies.
Possibly the most common way of
uniting colonies is the newspaper
method" Remove the cover from
the queenright colony and in its place
put a double thickness of newspaper.
Take the hive stool and make several
in%cisions in the paper, ~lengthwise.
Now set the queenless colony on top
of the paper and replace the lid on
top of this. The bees will have nc
exit and so will gnaw their way
through the paper, allowing only g
few bees to go into the lower hive a
once. In time the bees will have {
large passage-way gnawed through
the paper and the bees will have unit

PURCHASING POWER
FARM DOLLAR WAS
I. ONLY 60 CENTS
! DURING LAST YEAR

Quite recently the Country Gentle
man, published by the Curtis Pub
fishing Company, of Philadelphia,
printed a savage attack up on the de-
rar4ment of agriculture and widely
aI7vcrtised that attack. The basis
of that attack was the charge that
the Official statements of that de-
partment and the personal statements
of Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
regarding the purchasing power OF
the farmers dollar were false. Nat
urally this provoked some inquiries,
among them being n from a repre-
Sentative Of a national farm organic
alton. Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace has made public a letter which
he wrote in answer to that inquiry
The letter in part was as follows:
Il have your letter of recent date
in which you bring to my attention

of agriculture the farmers dollar /

ALFALFA MAKING
GOOD GROWTH DOES
NOT NEED CULTIVAT1NG

So long as the stand is satisfsc-
tory and the plants are making good
growth there is little to be gained
by cultivating alfalfa, says the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture.
A slight increaae in yield is some
times obtained by such treatment, but
experiments have shown that it is not
ordinarily enough to pay the add
tional cost, and the life of the stand
is prolonged but little, if any.

pigs in these record filters weighed
200 pounds when they had reached
the tender age of 6 months.

contests this year, and it is expected
that the results will make a large
number of converts to the principles
and practices of better breeding,
feeding, and care, not only of hogs.

"Mrs. Groom was loudly cheered by

good pace when she crossed the finish
line, followed Ii and 23 minutes later
by two others of the five who started
out from London at dawn. The moth
ers who finished second and third like
wise showed little exhaustion, while all
three babies appeared happy and con-
tented. Two of the mothers were left
resting by the roadside.
"The contest was the outgrowth of
a controversy between the mothers of

contestants were cheered by crowd
around the parliamentary buildings as
they got away at dawn on their long

lnaugurated Immediately upon the Le-
vlathan going into commission, it is
quite probable that shore stations will,
in the not distant future, bd erected to
handle wireless telephone traffic from
ships in mid-ocean to points inland
over the conventional land line system.
When such arrangements have been
made passengers and officers on vessel
at sea may establish contact with
those on shore at their homes or of
fices and speak with the same ease
that accompanies an ordinary tele-
phone conversation.

ance the protection of life at sea is the
chief function of marine radio service.
That this vital function be performed

become imperative due to a mishap,
the third, or emergency set, may be
relied upon to summon assistance.
Furthermore, two of the lifeboats are
fitted with emergency radio apparatus.
The principal transmitter consists of
high-power vacuum tube outfit,
which will deliver to main antenna
about six times as much power as the
apparatus now used on the average
steamship. A rapid transfer switch
will enable the operator to shift the
wave-length of this transmitter in an
instant. The second is a duplex tel
ephone outfit, which will permit 81
multaneous telephone and continuous
wave telegraph communication. The
third, or emergency, sending equip
ment is standard spark set, which
will normally operate on 600 meters.
Several super-sensitive vacuum tube
receivers will be used for reception.
