midi teaching domestic science and
another will be here for three days

the Indian agency when destitute.
They are generally ignorant and are
weak physically. They object to
cleanliness and a large percentage of
them are afflicted with trachoma and
tuberculosis.
The mixed-bloods were given the
right to sell their lands by the Clapp
act, but the full-bloods were not given
such right, and have not been affected,
except that some of them have man
aged to sell to over-anxious specu-
lators who were disposed to take long
chances on low prices. These deals
were not because of the Clapp act, but
contrary to it, and such sales will be
annulled and the full-bloods get their
land back.

There are 1910 full -bloods and 2,448
mixed-bloods on the present official
roll of the White Earth reservation,
known as the Hinton roll.
The average white blood is 55.S per

among the mixed-bloods.
Alex Mckenzie is seven-sixteenths
Indian and nine-sixteenths white. He
IS the average mixed blood of the
White Earth tribe.
Ma-daush is full-bloo Indian.
The mixed-bloods live by farming,
working for wages and by business,
exactly the same as white people.
They are fairly well educated and
have been self-supporting for many
years.

twelve or thirteen years. were res
cued from Lake Irvine Saturday at
ternoon. They were in an open boat
without oars and had been carried
out into the lake from the Mississip-

nearly six o'clock before the rescue
was effected. The police were noti-

Ray Dennis and Rube Miller set out

POTATOES MEAN READY CASH
Says Market Is Moving Steadily to
the North and Acre Yield
Is Large.

A. J. MCGUIRE, superintendent of
the experimental station at Grand
Rapids has issued bulletin which
should be of interest to farmers of
this section. The bulletin follows:
The three most important crops
in northeastern Minnesota are clov-
er, fodder corn and potatoes. The
seed for each of these crops this
spring is scarce and high priced, but
no farmer should change his plan for
seeding them on account of the high
price of seed. A dollar invested in
seed for any of these crops, may be
made to return $40 and more in the
crop.
':Clover seeded on the Experiment
al farm at Grand Rapids in 1911 cost
$3.50 per acre for seed. In October
this clover seeded in the spring
with grain crop, was pastured
with dairy COWS. It provided pas
ture at the rate of one acre for thir-
ty COWS for one day without injury
to the next years hay crop. 1t pro-
duced twenty-five pounds of butter
for each acre pastured, worth $3.50.
This alone, was more than three
times the value of the. clover. seed,
not counting the 1912 hay crop.
Fodder corn on the Experiment
farm in 1911 yielded from ten to
fifteen tons of green fodder per acre.
One bushel of seed was used for seed
for three years. This spring Mime
sofa grown seed corn is very high
priced, but varieties grown farther
south may be used for fodder corn,
and this seed may be purchased from
the large seed houses at from $3.50
to $3.50 per bushel.
"The dairy herd on the Expert
mental form, consisting of thirty
one cows, averaged in 1911 1886
pounds of milk per COW, and 253
pounds of butter per COW. These
cows are only representatives of such
COWS as the average farmer may
have. They were fed largely On clov-
er and fodder corn, most of the fod-
der corn in the form of ensilage. The
value of the butter at the local mar
ket price was $77.90 per COW. The
cost of feed was $31.24 per COW,
leaving a profit above the cost of
feed of $46.65. Dairying can be
made very profitable business for
the farmers of northeastern Mime
sofa who will regularly grow the
two above mentioned crops, clover
and fodder corn.
''Potatoes on the Experimental
farm in 1911 yielded $50 bushels per
acre. Carmen variety. 500 bushels
have been sold on the local market
at T5c per bushel. 1000 bushels are
still on hand which will probably
bring one dollar per bushel. The
cost :of growing the potato crop, in
Guiding seed, labor and rent of land,
was about $25 per acre. Potatoes
are the cash crop for the farmers OF
northern Minnesota. Farmers should
not rush in for big crop this spring
because they are high priced, but
should start out to annually grow as
many acres as can be given proper
attention and care. The potato mar
ket is moving north, and the farm
er who will grow potatoes regularly

Spokane. Wash, April 15.-Mrs.
George Stwire Waters, wife of the
head chief of the Yakima Indian
reservation, today is the proudest
woman in central Washington, hav-
ing been designated as a chief. This
is the first time that an Indian wom-
an has been honored by selection to
any office on the reservation. Mrs.
Waters was educated in an eastern
school and is bright woman. The
title was conferred by President
Taft, the official advices being con-
tanned in q letter to the tribe from
Representative w. B. Mckinley.

Runaway Horse Hurt.

One of the Schroeder milk teams

on Dewey avenue and came to a halt
in front of the Doctor Stanton resi-
