For the support of the Indians in
Montana the following appropriations
nave been asked Crow Indians,
IS, 0O0; Folt Peck, $4,000; Fort Bek-
nap, $4,000; Flathead, $4,000 An
item of S25, GOO to complete the irriga-
ton system on the Fort Beknap
reservation is also asked, as is also
300, 600 for the irrigation works on
the Flalhead reservation; 500, 600 on
Blackfeet reservation; 1925, 200 on the
Fort Peck reservation. An appropria.
lion of $25, COO is also asked to survey
and allot the Fort Peck lands, and
$1,000 for incidental expenses of the
Indian service in Montana.
Senator Dixon has introduced an
amendment to the law opening the
Flathead reservation to settlement.
The amendment authorizes the secre-
tary of the interior to survey and SUBJ
divide into lots, not less than two
acres or more than five, all unaloted
lands fronting FIathead lake and en-
bracing in the limits Of the reserva-
ton, whether classified as grazing,
agricultural or timber lands. 1t is
provided that these lots be sold to
the highest bidder and the proceeds
used in the construction of irrigation
projects now in progress on the reser-
Walton. The amendment also pro-
vides that when the allotment has
been completed on the reservation, the
secretary of the interior, on applica-
tion of Indian allotees, may sell or
dispose of not to exceed 60 acres of
such individual allotment, half of the
sale proceeds being paid to the alot-
tee and half held in trust at per
cent until the Indians trust patent
expires. This will permit of more
rapid settlement of reservation lands.

careful consideration during tn.
regular session. AT your request you

consideration. l hope that your pres

This Assembly, in regular session,
created Publicity Department anc
made an appropriation for its main
tenance, and also for advertising the
resources of the State for the yea
1909. Through an evident oversight.
no appropriation was made for the
year 1910. | recommend that such
an appropriation as may, in you judg-
ment, seem advisable be now made
for the year 1910, and suggest that
this appropriation can be made while
the chief object of your assembling is
under consideration.
There are many questions that. in
my Judgment, should receive favor
able legislative attention, and under
different circumstances | should MOI
refrain from asking favorable action
thereon by you. However, you have
agreed to serve without expense to
the State and it does not seem fair to
ask or expect that you consume more
time than is necessary TO properly
consider the subject mentioned in
your request for This special session.
Your offer to serve without COM
pensatiun Is commendable, and it was
no small factor in the determination
of the question whether the eXlraor.
binary session should be convened.
The making of an appropriation tC
pay the expenses of this session seems
unnecessary. The services, without
expense, of a sufficient number of
competent employees at the Capitol tC
perform any clerial duties required
by you, are rendered by the elective
and appointive State officers; your

DRY Farming"

Like many other excellent things,
dry farming' is named what it is
not, says the st. Louis Daily. In
stead of trying to raise crops on dry
land the ''dry farmer" first makes
his land wet by a simple scientific
process. He gets his land into the
best condition for taking moisture,
Doth snow and rain during the entire
season ol PRECIPITATION. He then sows
mis- seed and afterwards does all he
can to keep the moisture in the soil
where the roots of the growing plants
can suck it up stead of allowing it
to evaporate. This he accomplshes
by spreading a thin blanket of fine
lust over the surface OF his fields.
This dust is difficult for moisture
to penetrate, as anybody can prove to
MS satisfaction by pouring a little
water in the road. 1t vets the skin
of the dust, but nothing more, and
the fact that it is just as difficult for
water to 90 up through it, is the soul
and secret of 'dry farming" as of all
farming.
