Oregon Farmers Two Weeks
Behind on Snrina Work
Portland, April 13 W) Oregon's farmers are two weeks behind
on their spring work.
That was the highlight of today's weekly weather-crop report
of the Portland weather bureau and department of agriculture
for the week ending last Saturday.
Cool rainy weather kept farm-
ers from their fields, through
most of last month and much of
this. However, some field work
was . done in parts of western
Oregon between showers last
week, and rather good progress
was made in eastern Oregon the
early part of the week. Then
cold weather and showers (plus
high-elevation snow) interrupt
ed it.
Although crops are getting a
late start this year, they came
through the winter In relatively
good condition, the report said.
A heavy snow blanket dur
ing most of the cold weather
protected fall-seeded fields and
slowly rising temperatures
brought gradual snow-melt and
little erosion.
Grains, while retarded, have
good color except in some low
spots where there are Indica
tions of drowning out,
Orchardists had varied experi
ence on winter damage. Heav
iest damage was reported to the
peach and apricot orchards of
The Dalles and Milton Free
water areas. Near total loss is
seen in many parts of those
areas.
Some eastern Oregon cherries
and prunes also suffered dam
age, but apples and pears seem
to have been largely unscathed.
But since the fruit trees are
slow in starting new growth,
evaluation of winter damage is
difficult as yet.
The department of agricul
ture, in a report today, said
ranges and pastures had been
held back, too, by cool March
weather. Little stock has been
turned out because of. the slow
grass growth.
The weather outlook for the
rest of this week:
Western Oregon Mostly
cloudy, with cool days and
nights; intermitten rains reach
ing their maximum Thursday
and Friday; total amounts about
average for the season.
Eastern Oregon Widespread
cloudiness and scattered showers
in the wheat region, tending to
clear near the close of the week;
mild days and nights followed
by warmer days and night-time
frosts at higher elevations this
week-end; generally adequate
sunshine in the north section
and ample sunshine in the south.

White Men, not Indians, Started
Scalping, Congress Is Informed
Washington, April 13 (U.R) Charley Grounds, a Seminole Indian
has asked congress to remove from its halls a picture of an
Indian scalping a white man.
Grounds insisted that It wasn't true; that the white man started
the acalninff.
Accordingly, the Association
for Indians Affairs, Inc., made
a review of the history of scalp
ing. Its researchers checked
Smithsonian Institution publica
tions as far back as 1910 and
1906 and came up with, the
statement "that scalping was not
general among American Indi
ans before the coming of the
white man."
James Mooney in the "Hand
book of American Indians" is
sued by the Smithsonian's bu
reau of ethnology in 1910 said:
"Scalping was confined orig
inally in North America to a
limited area in the eastern Unit
ed States and the lower St.
Lawrence region. It was absent
from New England and much of
.the Atlantic coast region, and
was unknown until compara
tively ' recent times throughout
the whole interior and plains
area. It- was not found on the
Pacific coast or the Canadian
northwest.
"Scalping In Its commonly
known form was largely the re
sult of the influence of white
people," Georg Frederlcl wrote
in the Smithsonian annual re
port in 1910. "They introduced
firearms, which increased the
fatalities in a conflict; brought
the steel knife, facilitating the
taking of the scalp, and finally
offered scalp premiums."
Fredericl said the New Eng
land Puritans in 1637 were the
first to offer premiums for na
tive heads and later scalps the
French, offered premiums for
white enemies as well as Indian
scalps.
Competition was keen and
premiums went as high as 100
for one scalp. The English
prices were higher than those
of the French, Frederic! said.
One Hannah Dustln, he said,
was reputed to have received
90 from her colony officials
for "bringing In with her own
two hands the scalps of two In
dian women and six children."
In 1764 Gov. William Penn
listed prices the state of Penn
sylvania would pay for scalps.
They were $134 for each male
Indian scalp and $50 for the
scalp of every slain squaw.
Firemen Know

task and left.
A half hour later Cole start
ed a new fire in his furnace
