FL Reno Eagle: The Cheyennes and
Arapahoes are making arrangements for
more extensive farming this year than
they have heretofore done. One reason is,
that many Of them now consider them
selves American citizens, owning their
farms, and are willing to adopt the ways
of their white brethren; another reason is
that they have better teams and more inn
plements than ever before, and still anoth-
er ana more potent reason is that their ra-
tions are liable TO be still further reduced,
rendering hard work necessity. The
government will aid them in getting q
start by issuing seeds of various kinds TO
them, among the quantity being 5000
bushels OF oats, 5000 bushels of corn, 800
bushels of potatoes, 800 bushels of milo
maize, 100 bushels of miIlett, 20 bushels of
onion sets, and garden seeds Of all kinds.
