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

diu, since It not only is a favorite Kip
ling locale, but also contains the semi
capital, Simla; the'Sikh Holy City,
Amrttsar, of massacre memory; and
the new capital, Delhi, with its world
fumed bazaars. 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

that part of Iudinwhich has been a
corridor for many migrations and a
battlefield for centuries. It has re

(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
