LOS ANGELES, Cal.—Joe Mills,
the richest Indian in the service of
America in the world war. has had j
enough of fighting and favors a .
^ lasting peace. He saw 18 months
service, including participation in ,
the memorable engagement at Cha- j
teau-Thierry. where Mills stopped a I
German machine-gun bullet. He ,
still carries his arm in a sling as a I
result of the wound.
Mills is in Los Angeles to “rest 1
•up and get the memories of the
European fighting out of my mind, ' j
as he put it. Mills said from ear-1
-zimiiiiiimiiimiiimniillllllllllllllllllltlll
liest childhood he had heard the old
men of his tribe—he is of the
Osages—tell of the glories of war.
and he thought soldiering would be
a good adventure.
“So it may have been,” said he,
“when the old men of my tribe
were young, but that was before
the day of the machine-gun and
poison gas. The slaughter in France
was horrible. I did my duty, and I
will do it again if Uncle Sam needs
me, but until he does I am going
to stay in the good old United
States of America and look after
Mrs. Mills, my eight-year-old son,
and my property.”
Though he mentions his property
interests last, Mills is rated a mill
ionaire. Most of his income is de
rived from oil lands in Oklahoma,
his home.
Mills served as a member of the
field artillery.

FACES
SACRAMENTO.—Several methods
have been proposed for salvaging
the wine-grape vineyards of Cali
fornia and preventing the total loss
threatened by national prohibition.
There are about 170,000 acres of
wine-grape vineyards in California,
according to the state viticultural
commission. It cost $25,000,000 to
establish the industry. The product
of the vineyards last year returned
$10,000,000 to the growers. It
would cost approximately $2,000,000
to remove the vines preparatory to
using the land for other crops.
In changing the crops, virtually
the only recourse of the vineyardist
would be rotation of crops until the
soil was renewed, according to ex
perts. This condition would result
from the fact that the method of
“clean cultivation” in the vineyards
of California has robbed the soil of
its organic matter.
In some cases land in the coast
counties, the drv-wine region of the
state, probably could not be utilized
profitably in growing other crops,1
according to representatives of the
viticultural commission. In this dis
trict most of the wine-grape vine
yards would have to be abandoned
or removed, they said, while in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin val
leys it would be possible to trans
form the vineyards less than ten
years old into raisin or table-grape
vineyards by grafting, at' a cost of
about $150 an acre. The crops of
the older vineyards could be sun
dried, experts said. A limited por
tion could be used for the manufac
ture of grape syrup. If the removal
was the only recourse it would cost
about $10 to $15 an acre.
A report to the commission pub
lished recently said the grafting
process would be almost useless in
the coast counties, but that if “dry
ing grapes for wine-making should
prove feasible, the coast county
grapes dried in evaporators will un
doubtedly be superior.”
“If grape juice of a fine quality
can be marketed profitably, it is the
best grapes of the coast counties
that must furnish the raw material,”
the report added.
Shipping fresh wine-grapes to
Eastern states last year brought
growers $2,700,000. These ship
ments could be continued and in
creased if individuals were permit
ted to make their own wine, but it
would be impracticable to ship them
a greater distance than Mexico.
