Religion Hits Indian Wheat Crop WASHINGTON, H. C. "Good wentheV in the Dakotus, plus ade quate transportation, means an am ple wheat supply for tho United States. In Punjab, tho Dakotus of India, there Is a third factor, religion, which may affect materially the wheat supply of the llritlsh Empire. Tills unknown (uantity, religion, plays a part In the geography of the east which Is often puzzling to tho sons of tho Occident," says a bulle tin from 'tho Washington, D. C luad(uurtots of tho Nutional Geo graphic Society, concerning recent revolutionary uctivltles in tho Pun jab. "Tho SikhSj who number fewer than nine per cent of tho twonty-flvo mllllous'crowded Into this wheat-field area of Kipling's talcs, constitute the present disturbing factor. And, strangely enough, this religion which probably is the closest approach to Christianity that ever sprang from west of tho Suez shows a development exactly opposite to that which marked tho prevailing religion ot Europe and America. An Opposite Development "The Christian religions, generally regard the 'eye for nn eye' doctrine of tho Old Testament to have boen su perceded by tho teaching regarding forgiveness unto 'sevonty times seven' which is to bo found In the New Tostument. Tho Granlh, or Ul blo, of tho Sikhs has In Its early por tion this Injunction, 'It anyone treat you 111, bear It. If you bear It three tlmos Clod himself will fight for you and humble your enemies.' It is in teresting to note this philosophy forms tho keynoto of Gundhl's activi ties. "Howover, in the second book, or New Testament, called 'Granth of tho Tenth Reign' is to be found this bit of poetry: 'I how to tho Arrow nnd the Cannon Which destroy tho enemy. 1 bow to tho Sword ntul tho Rapier Which destroy tho will.' "And It Is because tho latter pas sage today 1b more generally adhered to by the Sikhs, with whom religion Is the most Intense reality of life, that their minority population in the Punjab has become an important fac tor In India's geography, economics, and political history. "The region of the 'five' rivers,' which Is tho meaning of Punjab, is ono of the best known areas of In-1 Satisfied Phone 474 QUICK SERVICE The Model Boot Shop 21 S.

The entire Punjab comprises an area about equal to that of North and South Dakota. It rests upon a broad base along the foothills of the Illmnlayus, and u ma jor portion slopes between the valleys of the Indus und the SutleJ to an apex southwest ot their confluence. A rec tnnglo lies west ot the Indus along the liuluchlstun border, while a sec ond triangle, with the upper Sutlej as its base, projects toward the south east. I'lio Mecca of the Sikhs "Near tho geographical center of the Punjab Is Annritsar, city of cur pets and malaria to the outsido world, but, what Is more important in In diu, holy city ot the Sikhs. Thirty six miles to the west is Lahore, where tho founder ot Sikhlsm, N'anak, wus bom less than a quarter of a century before Columbus discovered Amer ica. "Nanak wus succeeded by nine gurus, or teachers. The fifth of these, Arjun, compiled the Granth, and the tenth, Govlnd added those portions which exult the sword. The lust of the gurus also initiated the ceremony of baptising Sikh youths with water dripping from a two-edged sword, after which they must wear their hair long and carry a dagger. Kinunciut4?ri. Their Women "The standard Enslisli work on the Sikh religion comprises six volumes, and SikhlBin Is one of the newer and simpler religions of India, at that! Tho Sikh teachings give their women greater freedom, break down rigid caste lines, forbid pilgrimages to Hindu holy places, and discourage the use of wines and tobacco. Sik hlsm embodies the concept ot a uni versal god rather than u tribal diety, It is strikingly akin to Christian teuchings regarding family life, but it differs fronv Christianity In holding fast to tho Orlontul belief in trans migration of souls und in u fntulism which is accepted more literary than the western mind ever accepted pre destination. "Tho Sikh religion developed In that part of Iudinwhich has been a corridor for many migrations and a battlefield for centuries. It has re acted upon the hidebound and age MEDFORD Mason, Ehrman & Co.

EAGLE POINT EAGLETS A. C. Howlett Mm. A. E. iHildrnth and two Hons, A. 13. nnd Buel Hlldreth and wife of J Hi tie Falls, ''Vrho had been out to (Vntral Point, Medford and Phoenix -Memorial day, called on the Sunny side family Tuesday afternoon on their way home. Henry French, one of our prosper oua farmers, poultry and dairy men wub in our town Tuewday and in com menting on the article I wrote on the advantage to he derived from tho proper uhu of water, fertilizers und Hciemific farming, Ruve me a little of his experience in that department of agriculture. He said that he hud a Hmull farm of forty acres on tho bank of itoKue river, about thirty acres in cultivation, where he has been living and has, been farming without water to Irrigate for it is not everyone who lives on a running stream, who can use the water to irrigate, for it often costs quite a sum to make a ditch,. so as to tako the water out and raiso it up so as to utilize lt in that way, as it did In his case. He .said that ho had one small piece, about an acre, that looked very good, so he sowed it to grain and it produced about three-quarters of a ton of hay. Ho next used fertilizer, nnd planted it in potatoes, but tho result was no more satisfactory, ho he went In to a project with some of the neighbors to take water out of the river, and the result was he planted it In clover and now cuts two crops a year of five good loads of clover hay a year. And remarked that If ho had only 40 acres of land, without water, ho would gladly give one-half of it to have the other half supplied with water. Another Incident occurred a few years ago up In the Lake creek coun try, when Herman Meyer, Sr., whs telling his experience In using fertili zers on his alfnJfn. It appeared that ho had his orchard set in alfalfa and tho land outside of tho trees between the trees and the fence was also set in alfalfa, but .ho did not realize that the lime and sulphur he was using to spray his treqs would prove . bene ficial to the alfalfa, so omitted to extend the spraying to the fence nnd tho result was that when he cut his hay that that stood next to the fence was not more than half as good as that among tho trees, so the next year he sprayed It all alike and the result was an increase of about CO per cent in the production of tho hay crop next to the fence. Speaking of racing alfalfa, I re ceiver a letter the other day from Mr. Joseph Mayer, Kphsata, Wash ington, in which he1 said that he was reading my ' 'Kagle Point Eaglets every week and asked mo to give him some Idea how we sow and cultt vate alfalfa here In Oregon and if I understand hi in, he seems to think that the seed it "set out," whereas I use tho term "set to" alfalfa. If Mr. Joseph Mayer will write to the O. A. C. Corvallfs, he can secure all the information necessary on the - sub ject, nlthough I found when I was up In Northern Oregon and Wash ington that they were having trouble in some localities, with their alfalfa. Professor A. I. Hazelton of Ash land came up here to meet his son, Frank, who Is tho foreman on tho Antelope orchard Tuesday and went out home with him. George Owen, one of our prosper out farmers and dairy men was here Wednesday morning. Dr. J. L. Holmes, n veternary sur geon, formerly of Medford, but now of Orants Pass and W. A.
