INDIANS ToMAHAWK NOW
MODERN POTATO DIGGER

Mitchell, s. d, Sept. 2e.-The plow-
share n the potato digger are now
more familiar to the Indians of the
northwest than tomahawks or war
paint, according to- the exhibit beint:
prepared under the direction of the
department OF the interior for the Nit
chell corn palace. This is the first
time that such an exhibit has ever beer
assembled.
Dir. J. y. Dougherty. superintendent
OF the Lower Brule Indian agency, to-
day notified Secretary W.. A. Wheeler,
of the Corn Palace committee, that the
Indian exhibit would be shown at the
fall festival without doubt. Fairs are
being held this week in five of the
eight Indian reservations in South Da-
kota and the choicest exhibits will be
assembled in time to ship them to Nit
chell next week.
DR.. Dougherty. who will be in charge
OF the exhibit, stated that the govern
ment officials were opposed to the par
ticfpation of the Indians in wild west
or frontier days celebrations and dis
couraged them as far as possible. An
effort is being made in the reservations
to encourage the Indians in agricul-
tural pursuits and prizes have been Of

TEST DIFFERENT METHODS
OF CONSERVING MOISTURE

Bookings, S. D., Sept. 26.-Nine dis
tinct methods of farming are being
tested. by the agronomy department OF
the state college for the purpose of
learning what system Of farming best
conserves soil moisture. These tests
have been under way on the experiment
stations plots at Cottonwood, Eureka,
Highmore and Bookings. In time 1t
will be possible to give definite infor-
mation-with tigures-on which method
of rotating crops will best conserve
soil moisture.
A recent number of the Country Gen
tleman referred to the experiments as
follows: Just by accident one of the
agronomy experts at the South Dakota
Agricultural college discovered last
spring that and which had grown 43
bushels of corn to the acre the previ-
Gus year contained "a per cent of water.
while a field just across the road which
had produced IL bushels of wheat per
acre contained only IL per cent of
water" This was a striking demon
stration of moisture conservation by a
cultivated crop.
Mr.. Champlin, assistant agronomist
at the college. is grateful for the good
mention by an eastern publication, but
protests that the discovery was not ac-
cidental. 1t came as the result of a
series of we'll defined experiments, re-
ferred to in the foregoing.

FARMS FOR CITY PRISONERS.

Richmond should note carefully the
statement of Dr. Nastin's investigation
into the use Of farms instead OF jails
for the care OF city prisoners the
report of the committee for Richmond
OF the Board of Charities and Correc-
lions emphasized the humanitarian
ASPECTS Of this system DIR. Mastin's
cSures show its financial advantages.
BY the District OF Columbia a farm
o. 100 acres was operated last year
az A profit Of s1l1.OoO. The appropria-
ton from the Treasury for maintain
ing the 3au was $4,000. Tho differ
once Of $4,000 represents the total
actual cost TO the District of main
tanning its place of correction. Yet
in former years when the institution
was not self-supporting in any way.
the cost had gone as high as sl5o'VOo-
I'm Norfolk. the experiment has re-
suited in reducing the average cost
per prisoner TO a minimum. In some
other States the State turns over a
certain per cent Of the prisoners
earnings TO his family. This In part
meets the absurd situation that arises
when a man is sent to jail for nom
support of his family and thereby alb
solutely prevented from giving it any
support at all
The broader social benefits are OBJ
vioua Open-air work and regular
habits reform men in a way that mere
confinement can never do. In particu-
lar drunkards are cured and returned
TO society as respectable citizens able
To- contribute 20 the community wealth.
The health OF the prisoners is notice
ably improved The moral effect is
equally potent.
Mr.. Vonderlehr has advocated the
prison farm method for Richmond for
a long time. lie will Introduce into
the Council an ordinance providing
this system for the treatment of GER
tain classes of delinquents. The
Times-Dispatch urges the adoption OF
what is manifestly a means of saw
ing money now paid for the mainte-
nance of prisoners who are idle and
make no return to the city. When
economy and humane treatment can be
combined as in this plan. there is no
possible ground for opposition unless
il be that of selfish personal interest.
