GREAT INDIAN TRUST.
Tribal Terrtforlen (iovrrnvil by a l'w
SrlieniltiR Rrdaklna.
The Indian territory ns at present
governed is 1 lie most successful trust
ia the United States. About 4.1.000 In
dians rontrol the territory, which in
cludes anions its inhabitants anywhere
from 200,0110 to C.'O.nwJ white people.
These wliite people have no voice In
taking laws under which they live and
cannot acquire title to the houses they
build ir the lands they till. If the 45.
000 Indians were 45,000 people whose in
dividual land holdings made up the ag
gregate nrea of the territory the situa
tion would be peculiar, but as a matter
of fact there ure no such things there
ait individual titles. The land of each
tribe is in theory held by the tribe as a
whole, and leases are given of tracts
which carry with them any improve
ments placed thereon. In practice the
laid of each tribe is controlled by a
lit tie knot or "ring" of chiefs or leading
anec The bulk of each tribe outside
tia charmed circle are mere squatters.
Scatters who have never been In the
Iiifinn territory may fancy that the In
dian chiefs are crested warriors of the
fornt. A brief stay in the territory
will pnt an end to any such impression.
Au ladlan chief in Mtbe.terrltOTy,, looks
a good deal like a white man, dresses
Idee one and makes money like one.
Not infrequently he is either the actual
bead or secret backer of a big enter
prise, or be may bare been bred to the
law. In any event he Is a shrewd specu
lator who usually sees all the advan
tages of keeping up a system which
grt him all tba advantages and few
of the burdens of a great land owner.
The rank and file of the Indians get
Kotbing out of the territory but the
right to squat on such obscure corners
-of the land as the chiefs have no pres
ort .se for. Allotments in severalty
which the Dawes commission is seeking
to brin;r about, would be for the inter
est of the- majority of the Indians as
welT ns for that of the whites. The
tribal system has broken down com

Europe. It la sown In the opaa ground,
aa soon aa tt la At to work. In April. aod
kept csrefullv clear of weeds until the
lime of planting, la Jana and July.
Ia our warmer climate. If raised in
hot beds, aa Id England, a majority of
Ibe plants would run to seed. The top
ate abora off once or twlea before
.laaring. so as to insure "stocky"
plants, which Buffer lesson being rrana
planied. After tba ground baa bean
nicely prepared, tinea are struck out on
tba level surface three feet apart, and
the plA'a aet aix inches apart in row.
If the weather Is dry at the time of
planting- great care should be taken
that the roots are properly "finned."
Our custom ia to turn back on tba row
and press by the slJe of eseh plant
gently with the foot. Thle compacts
the soil and partially evudes the air
from the roots until new root leu are
formed, which will usually be In 48
hours, after which all danger is over.
This practice of pressing tba soil close
ly around the roots Is essential In plant
ing of all kinds, and millions of plant
are annually destroyed by its omission.
After the planting of the celery ia com
pleted uot'hlng further Is to be done for
six or seven weeks, except running be
tween the rowa with the cultivator or
hoe. and freeing the plants of weeda un
til they get strong enough to crowd,
them down. This will bring us to about
the middle of August, by which tiro we
have usitnlly that moistand cold atmos
phere etaemiul to tba growth of celery.
Then we begin the "earthing ' up"
necessary for the blanching and whiten
ing of that which Is wanted for use dur
ing the months of September. October
and November. The first operation is
that of handling, as we ternrit; that Is,
after all the soil has-been drawn up
against the plant with the boe It Is
further drawn close around each plant
by tha hand firm enough to keep the
leaves in an upright position and pre
vent them from spreading. This being
done more soil is drawn against the row
(either by tha plow or hoe. as circum
stances require), so as to keep the plant
In this upright poaitlon. Tha blanch
ing process must, however, be finished
by the apade, which la dona by digging
tha soil from between tha rows and
banking It up elear to the top on each
aide of tha row of celery. Three feet Is
ample dlstanoo between tha dwarf va
rieties, but when larger aorta arc used
tha width of tha rowa should be tour or
five feet. J. E. Dillon, In Agricultural
