Teach Indians Farming

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The Depart.
ment Of Agriculture has inaugurated
a cooperative system in some Of the
indian reservations OF the Southwest
which has been so successful that IT
will be extended to many other reser-
yations. It is largely along expert.
mental lines in the development OF
the Indian as an agriculturist, and the
station at sacaton, Ariz.. has been
particularly successful The depart
ment has contemplated the establish.
ment of a similar station on some Of
the Western Oklahoma reservations.
but is waiting to see If the object les
son Of the practical white farmer
alongside the Indian will not suffice
before a station IS established there.
The Arizona station is under the d.
rect supervision OF Mr.. Il. w. Hudson
of the bureau Of plant industry. On
the larger reservations OF Arizona
there are plenty OF Indians who are
fairly good workers, and who have
wagons and teams. Farms and gar
dens Of considerable extent have been
established under the direction OF gov.
experts and the Indians are
taught proper methods Of farming.
The desert Indians take kindly to the
project, because 1t makes better
food supply for them.
During the past year special atten.
tion has been paid to onions and to
raising some new varieties OF alfalfa.
the Indians being taught the value Of
irrigation. The alfalfa crop promises
to be exceedingly profitable.

PROHIBITION
BILL VETOED

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. Governor
Patterson filed his veto of statewide
prohibition bill with the clerk Of the
senate after that body had adjourned
for the day yesterday.
The veto was read to the senate to-
day Opponents of the bill claim they
can count on change Of three sena-
tors to their side, and that the fourth
member, on whose vote the measure
depends, will be varying.
The governor in explaining his fail.
.ure to approve the bin tells the Iegis-
lature such law is against the Demo
cratic platform and the doctrine of
self-government; that experience has
taught that no arbitrary prohibition
law was ever obeycc. and its enact.
ment brings no settlement of the ques
ttion; that II destroys property. re-
duces state revenues and increases
taxation.

until Monday. County Judge Strang
postponed the hearing until he could
further investigate the legality Of the
search warrant by which MacRey-
nolds' papers were seized
In court yesterday nothing was said
about the alleged conspiracy Mac
Reynolds attorneys raised the point
that the search warrant used in the
proceedings was illegal and should
not have been issued. Judge strang

postponed further consideration Of the
matter until he could look up the law.

NO STATEHOOD
THIS Time

Washington. Jan. 20.-Numerous del
egafions from New Mexico and Ari.
zona which have come here to press
the claims OF those territories for
statehood have learned that the sen
ate leaders do not intend to permit
the statehood bill 10 pass at the pres
ent session This decision has been
reached at an informal conference Of
senate leaders.
Il was said that there is not time
enough naming or this congress to
enact the necessary legislation. State.
hood measures invariably provoke pro-
longed discussion, An additional rea.
son advanced by senate leaders
against the proposition is the fact that
members who have discussed the quail.
ificailons Of these territories differ
widely as 10 their character OF the
population and It's ability to carry the
responsibilities OF statehood. II is said
that there are number Of questions
10 be settled which will be answered
by the coming decennial census and
many members Of congress Therefore
urge that statehood be delayed until
after It has been taken.
Many other members. including
Senator Foraker. who has been an ad.
vocate Of separate statehood for them
for a number Of years. have pointed
out with some force that the plat.
forms Of both Of the great political
parties declare for statehood for both
territories However, there are only
forty legislative days remaining and
practically all Of the big supply Of
bills remains to be passed.
