MAY LOSE THEIR LAND.
The Danger That Menaces Many of
the Spokane Indians

Agent Anderson of the Colville Indian
agency in Washington state has reported to
the commissioner of Indian affairs that the
Spokane Indians. who are comparatively
poor, seem to be in danger of losing a large
part of their reservation. The agent says
this danger is the result of congressional
action opening their lands to mineral loca-
tion and entry after the Indians received
allotments of land in severalty. Owing to
the way in which the various provisions of
the bill were passed and approved the
reservation was actually open to mineral
location and entry for short time last
May. during which vested rights In a large
group of mineral claims were acquired, and
a determined effort has been made to wrest
the land from the Indians

First, the blanks are intended for
you if you are a delinquent sub
scriber. Last year, you remember,
crops were wretchedlY poor in North
Carolina and many farmers were in
actual want. We did not feel like
pressing our subscribers then. But
o that another harvest has come
and a bountiful harvest it is, thanks
to a kind Providence-we feel that
it is -necessar to do more than
hand you the blanks and invite your
attention to the date on your label.
Let us have enough at least to bring
that date up to the date of this is
sue.
Second, the blanks are intended
for you if you are a paid-up sub
scriber. Though you are enjoying
the weekly visits of The Progressive
Farmer, you have many neighbors
who are not reading it. Get their
subscriptions and send them in.
Third, the blanks are intended for
you if you are not a subscriber. We
need not boast of the papers merits.
1t speaks for itself. Examine this
copy. Ask yourself if it's cheering
and helpful visits to your home could
not be worth the small sum of two
cents a week, and let us have your
subscription.
So, to whichever class you belong,
use the blanks. Don't throw them
away, but fill out the subscription
blank now, carry the application
blank to your postmaster, and send
your subscription to US. We are
sparing no effort to make The Pro.
gressive Farmer the best paper pos.
sible for North Carolina farmers, and
we ask their support.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The man who debauches our public
life, whether by malversation of
funds in office, by the actual bribery
of voters or of legislators, or by the
corrupt 'oso Of the Offices as spoils
wherewith to reward the unworthy
and the vicious for their noxious and
interested activity in the baser walks
of political life,-this man is a
greater foe to our well-being as a
nation than is even the defaulting
cashier of a bank, or the betrayer of
a private trust.-President Roose-
welt, IN american Ideals"

A WORD TO THE READER.

After appearing as an eight-page
paper for sixteen years and seven
months, The Progressive Farmer this
week greets it's readers in sixteen
page form. For the support and sym
pathy of our friends in the past, we
are profoundly grateful, and it shall
be our earnest endeavor to merit a
continuance of this support. "The
educational and industrial interests
of our people paramount to all other
considerations of State policy" is u
watchword. To make the paper a
factor of constantly increasing
strength in the development of North
Carolina and the general uplift of it's
people is u purpose.
And now a personal word. You
have doubtless noticed three small
papers enclosed in this issue. One is
a subscription blank, one a money
order application blank to present
to your postmaster, n a return en-
velope in which to mail your remit
tance. They are enclosed because we
wish you to use them-that is, if you
belong to any n of the three classes
named herewith:

We are glad to learn from DR.. Kill

is an encouraging sign of the times.

The July Bulletin" of the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture,
just issued, is an especially valuable
number. It is the work of DR.. TAFT
Butler, our efficient State Veterina-
rian whose letters to The Progress
sive Farmer have been read with
such interest, and his subject Gone
which no other man in the State is
perhaps better qualified to discuss)
is "The Breeds of Beef Cattle and
Beef Production in North Carolina"
The article is ~profusely and effect
lively illustrated, the pictures alone
teaching many of the lessons that
DR.. Butler is seeking to impress on
our farmers.

MEETING OF THE M
STATE ASSOCIATION.

meeting in Raleigh last week. The
effort to establish township and coun-
ty organizations has not yet succeed
ed and the attendance was very small.
President Speight and Secretary
Parker were at their respective posts.
The most important subjects discuss
ed were the building of cooperative
cottonseed oil mills and the grinding
of hulls with the ~cottonseed meal by
many mills, a practice said to have
been especially prevalent last year.
DR.. Speight, by study and by expe-
rience, is well prepared to give adj
vice with regard to cooperative oil
mills, and we have asked him to fur
nish The Progressive Farmer an r
ticle on this subject.
The report of the Executive Com
mittee indicates more accurately
than anything else the work and
spirit of the meeting, and we are
glad to print it herewith:
"G) We heartily endorse the re-
port of Secretary Parker and COM
mend the zeal and energy he has dis
played in the prosecution of the work
contemplated by this organization.
"(2) A year ago, when this organi-
cation was called into existence by
the threatened combination of the
cottonseed oil millers to fix the price
of seed far below their real value, we
urgently advocated the policy of
farmers holding their seed and de-
handing at least twenty-five cents
(25) per bushel. It is very crafty
ing ss 43asstt-+hs Essu5ts q this
advice proved its wisdom, and this
course saved many thousands of dol
lars in the aggregate to those who
followed it.
"(3) It is a source of qualification
also to observe the awakening among
the farmers to the necessity of CO.
operating in the building and main
tanning of cooperative oil mills, as
the only SUR means of thwarting the
aggressions of the cottonseed oil
trust, as advised by this association
at its organization. We desire to
emphasize a continuation of this pol
icy for the future.
"(4) We invite attention to the
need of cooperation along other
lines, and to the advantages to be
gained thereby, both in buying and
selling.
"(5) An arrangement has been eff
fected with Secretary T. B. Parker
who is also the business agent of the
Farmers Alliance, to make purchases
for farmers of farm machinery, tools,
fertilizers, etc., at reduced rates.
"(6) By a compact organization
much good may be effected for the
farmers of North Carolina, socially,
educationally and industrially.
without some organization in
their interest, the farmers can
not have the weight and WELD the in
fuence, that their numbers and in

THE COTTON

the cotton crop report OF the Nation
al Department of Agriculture pub
lished on page -. That the Septem-
Der outlook for cotton is less promis-
ing than ever before since the De-
partment began gathering statistics
and that the condition September LIST
was almost exactly ten points below
the September average for ten years
past, are facts of no small impor-
lance to the cotton growers. The
rapidity of the decline is also note
worthy, a falling off of eighteen
points between July 25th and Au-
gust Doth being reported.
It is gratifying to note, however,
that the condition of the North Car
Dina crop is sixteen points above the
average-80 compared with an aver
g condition of "a, and an average
condition of only So in the great
State of Texas. For several years,
we believe, the North Carolina crop
has been below the average; now u
good turn has come. This report of
80, however, may be too favorable;
rust has blighted much within the
~Uw0 weeks.
Not a prophet nor the son of a
prophet is the writer, and we real
ize full well the risky nature of max
ing predictions as to cotton prices.
Nevertheless, if these reports count
for anything and if the causes that
have heretofore produced certain eff
fects r to produce those effects this
year, it does seem to be a good time
for the North Carolina farmer to
hold his cotton and wait for some
thing to turn up. If he is not press
ed for money, there seems to be moth
ing to lose by holding (for there is
certainly now no probability of a de-
cline in prices) while the prospect
of gain is more than usually alIuring.
But the early opening of the crop
In this State will doubtless cause the
larger part Of it to be put on the
market too early to reap the pros
pectlve increase in prices. This ear
~ opening seems to be a general con
dition. On the Wilmington market,
for instance, 5000 bales of new crop
were sold by September 1st this year,
while the number sold to that date
last year was only 100. The Green
vile Weekly says that cotton in Pitt
is opening the fastest ever known
and that "the entire crop will proba-
bly, be open and nearly gathered by
October" From what we have seen
of the crop in the central section of
the State the same report of unpre-
cedented earliness of maturity seems
to hold good.
This is the situation as we e it.
The reader may do what seems good
in his sight.
