they heed the advice OF the assistant
commissioner.
Mr.. Abbott has asked the supe.in-
tendeuts to locate the fair grounds on
the reservations permanently near the
sites of the proposed model farms for
which the bureau is now actively pro-
viding. This will give the rel men a
chance 10 see what can be done on their
reservations by careful farming while
the exhibits at the fair will inspire
them TO greater efforts in the coming
seasons.
The Indian Bureau intends to install
these model farms as soon as possible
on every reservation. Farmers viii be
secured from the State agricultural
schools at about $1.200 per year, and
they will have assistants enough to
make the farm a credit and dn inspira-
tion to all the farmers in its vicinity.
Up to the present time, the farmers en-
plOyed to teach the Indians have been
paid $50 per month and have not had
proper experience. The new plan will
give the reservations men who have
been trained in scientific agricultural
