~fN HIS ANNUAL RE
III port the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, speak
ing of the work done on ex-
perimental farms for the In
dams, cites the farm at SAGA
ton, Arizona, where as a result
of two years experiment six
teen bales of a fine grade Of
Egyptian cotton were raised
and shipped to the New York
market. A small quantity Of
this cotton was raised at the
Phoenix school. The COM
missioner says: "Reliable
tests show that this cotton
was very much stronger than
ordinary Southern cotton and
averaged from one-eighth to
one-fourth of all inch longer,
which made it especially valu-
able for thread and fine quail
tiles of cotton weaves. This
cotton was sold for 81 cents a
pound. "
Agricultural fairs were held
last year at the following res
ervations: Crow, Captain,
Grande, Cheyenne, Arapa-
hoe, La Jolla, Pine Ridge,
San Juan and Southern Ute.
On the Fort Peck reservation
about SO per cent of the male
adult Indians are cultivating
approximately 5000 acres, an
increase of about SO per cent
over last year. Oats, pota-
toes, flax, wheat and corn are
the principal crops grown, but
about IS per cent of the male
adult Indians on this reserva-
ton raise stock, ranging from
five to 100 head each. In
creased interest in agriculture
is reported from the Sisseton
reservation, on the Nez Perce
reservation, on the Yakima
reservation, at the Winnebago
agency and elsewhere.

a PROPOS OF THE I'M

"A PROPOS VI 1HE I'M
n migrant question, the
fact that the attorney
general is proceeding against
the international steamship
lines III der the Sherman law
is very significant and far
reaching. The reason that
Europe is scraped, as it were,
with a hne-tooth comb for the
million or more of immigrants
annually landing in this coun-
try is found to a great extent
in the fact that steerage traffic
is immensely profitable to the
great steamship lines such as
Lloyds, the Hamburg Ameri-
can, the Cunard, the White
Star, the Holland-American
and several others. They
make millions yearly in this
traffic and it is a we'll known
fact that they carry large bod
les of steerage passengers
both ways. At least half a
million are taken eastward,
back to the old country, every
year. All the steamship lines
have immigrant bureaus and
travelling agents using every
means and inducement in or
der to bring immigrants to
this country.
