CONTROVERSY OVER The

the Sales Of Lands on the White
Earth Reservation.

parties who have purchased lands

walton from Indians with the full
belief that the Indians were the
actual owners of the land; so pur.
chased and entitled to convey un.
questioned title thereto, is a Ger.
tainty, judging from the rulings
which have been made by the
Indian department to the effect that
Indians are still wards of the govern
ment and purchasers of lands must
show that there has been no fraud,
ETC.:
f. Concerning this matter a st. Paul
paper says:
"On the outcome of the actions
brought by the United States against
the county officials of Becker, Clear
water and Mahnomen counties coun-
ties, depend the titles to upward of
500 farms in the Old White Earth
Indian reservation in Minnesota.
The government is trying to ascertain
who of the Indians are real aborigi-
mes, and who, through the admixture
of foreign blood, are no longer wards
of the government, for full-blooded
Indian cannot transfer his land,
while breed" can. "
The taskof ascertaining when an
Indian is not an Indian has been
assigned to John Vandersluis, who
is now in Detroit as the special ex-
aminer for the federal circuit court,
to determine the exact judicial
status of the White Earth Indians.
He has been engaged in the
work for some time, and up to date
has had nearly a hundred witnesses
before him. Among them have
been such men as Nay-che-wah-quay-

TELLS OF CORN GROWING
IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Prof. c. P. Bull, Recognized Authority
on Agriculture, Gives Some Inter-
esting Facts on Corn Raising.

Professor c. P. Bull, assistant
professor of agriculture of the
University of Minnesota School of
Agriculture, has been watching
the agricultural development of
northern Minnesota for several years
past and he has been carefully
noting the successes which have
attended the raising of various pro-
ducts that, few years ago, it was
positively stated could not be
successfully or proftably produced
here. .@ss- - ~: .
In circular letter, written syester:
day, Prof. Bull says of Corn in
Northern Minnesota: .-
Five years ago the Minnesota
Experiment Station started to test
varieties and to breed corn in various
parts of northern Minnesota. As is
we'll known, the seasons for corn
growing, especially in the north,
where corn must mature in less than
100 days, or run the danger of frost,
have been anything but favorable.
In spite of this fact few varieties
have shown adaptability to short
season and an ability to yield a
goodly amount of corn per acre.
The varieties, thus far, most
prominent in the tests are Minnesota
No. %, Northwestern Dent, Mercer
and Triumph flint Minnesota No. 10,
Pride of the North, and Minnesota
King.
Foremost among these is Mime
sofa No. %, white cap yellow
Dent. This variety was selected
in 1908 at University Farm at St.
Anthony Park, from 800 to 400
others for its high yield aver
age of SO bushels of shelled corn per
acre and its early maturity. 1t
ripened in less than 100 days.
In view of the fact that early
maturity and largest yields are not
correlated, that early maturity must
lessen the yield, No. 20 was thought
to be an exceptional variety.
The tests at the northern trial
stations have also shown its superior
qualities. At Aitkin, Carlton, Grand
Rapids, Erskine, Frazee, Wadena,
Osakis, Crookston, BemidjiE and
other points, where it has been
tested in a thorough, manner, No.
20 has matured audHgiEen promise

no matter what the fraction, after
receiving their land allotments, are
citizens of the state in which they
live.
This rule Of the Indian depart
-ment has started something on the
White Earth reservation which is
expected to keep the courts busy
for many years. It has developed
that many of the White Earth
Indians who received their land
allotments have disposed of them.
These allotments or farms, are tax.
able in Becker Clearwater and
Mahnomen counties, and the county
authorities have placed them on the
tax rolls"
Quite a number of Indians who
now live at Red Lake are vitality
interested in these proceedings of
the department, as they have sold
lands which they possessed on the
White Earth reservation.
Attorney c. E. Richardson, the
tribal attorney for the White Earth
mississippi band of Indians, was
at White Earth recently looking up
some of the deals which were made
with Indians for the purchase of
lands. Mr.. Richardson claimed to
have received proof that there had
been much sharp practice" in the
purchase of a-@large portion of the
lands belonging to the Indians and
that he proposed to see that the
Indians were given their just dues.
People who have purchased the
Indian lands are considerably handi-
capped in the Investigations which
are going on. If the claim of fraud
is proved the purchasers will be
forced to. disprove the claim, made
as proof will in every instance rest
with the purchasers.
A party who is we'll informed in
the matter of these White Earth
sales is of the belief that much of the,
lands will be restored to the Indians,
despite the fact that tina present
owners purchased the land in good
faith. 49, -.
