Of them rent their farms of white
men. found corn that will run as
high as sixty.fiye bushel to the acre
on farms cultivated by Indians or
halfbreeds.
"rhose who rent their farms to
white men make good money. They
get 81 an acre for the land cultivated,
and usually reserve part Of their farms
for their own use.
'In general, | found conditions
among the Indians improving, and |
am glad of it,"
"As is well known in Kansas, Curtis
has Indian blood in his veins. and
takes lively interest in improving
the condition of the Indians generally
He has an uncle and second cousin in
