CHANGE URGED IN
MIXED BLOOD ACT
CONDITIONS ON WHITE EARTH RES.
ERVATION CRITICIZED IN I'M
DIAN COMMISSIONERS RE
PORT.

Washington. Dec. 17.-Conditions on
the White Earth reservation in Mime
sofa are criticised in the annual report
Of the board of Indian commissioners
The statement is made that despite lit
igation and the creation Of a commits
sion to make q new roll of the Indians.
the lands OF the mixed bloods are still
in jeopardy. The board recommends a
change in h Clapp law to protect the
lands OF mixed bloods who are incap-
able OF administering their own affairs.
The report says in part:
while the solution Of the difficult
legal questions are dragging out
through the courts the lands of tncom-
petent mixed bloods are still in jeopar-
dy and the lands of incompetent mixed
blood minors, as fast as they reach
their majority, are subject to the same
danger. Pending the result of the liti-
cation in connection with this reserya-
ton it appears to be of first impor-
lance that legislation should be enacted
amending the so-called mixed-blood
act in order to protect the lands of all
incompetent mixed bloods, minor and
adult, still remaining unsold.
I'VE, therefore. recommend that such
Legislation be pressed vigorously be-
fore the next congress-"

liberal prizes in cash, cups and ma
chinery are offered in the pure seed
section. ..
The state has beer divided into four
sections, northeast, northwest, south
east and southwest, so that corn from
the northern part will not compete
with that from the southern part.
Every locality ought to send it's
best corn and seed to have them plac-
ed in the show window where the peo-
pie of the state and the nation can see
what it can do. Not only will it ad-
vertise your locality but there is the
chance of winning a fine prize.

Tedford, q former Chicago policeman,
who escaped serving a pen sentence
through a clerical error. Both par

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Wheat: Cables
higher. Foreigners continue to pass
us by and are not purchasing our
wheat at all. Winter wheat progress
ing favorably and government report
after the close today will indicate the
increase in acreage and condition of
the plant. We look for a bearish re-
port and a large increase In acreage.
Domestic situation very heavy but
sentiment is unanimously bullish.
Corn: A continuation of unfavor-
able weather and smaller receipts will
furnish bulls with ammunition today.
If these weather conditions do not i'm
prove very soon we will hear an uni
versal complaint Of rotting corn. AS
we have advised heretofore, buy corn
on all breaks.

NORTH DAKOTA CORN SHOW
WILL BE BIG OPPORTUNITY

Exhibiting corn at the North Dako-
ia corn show Jan. 1924 will be a good
deal like putting your goods in the
show window. The corn show offers
every locality in the state a chance to
see what can be done there. The best
that comes to the North Dakota corn
show will be taken to the National
Corn exposition to be held at Dallas,
Tex, in February. This will put it in
the shop window of the nation. Every
vantage Of this opportunity that. costs
nothing and yet is so rich in possibil-
tiles. So. -. r- 81
The assurance that corn can be sue
c~essfully grown here will do much to
bring people to the state.
Fine prizes are also offered-$S50 in.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Wheat bulls call
attention to the decreasing stocks in
Chicago and the difficulty the trade
will LAY in replacing them later.
There is an absence of pressure of cash
offerings and a scattered milling trade
that is taking the daily receipts and
some more. They ignore the govern
ment report n say there must have
been an abnormal consumption or there
are large stocks in farmers hands to
reconcile the official crop estimates.
The main bearish point made was that
there are too many bulls for the size
Of the trade.
Corn-It was noticeable that . num-
Der of the best traders were buying
corn on yesterdays break, some taking
December and others May. They said
there had been break enough and that
all the bear'sh con 1itions had been dis
counted. Bears said that h rally was
only natural and that corn should be
sold on bulges, as the discounts on low
grades was too great for a bull market
at present. Cash sales wheat $4,000
bushels; corn liz. 900 bushels and oats
1861 bushels. No export sales re-
ported at sea-board.

Grain Opinions.

Lamson Bros.-We look for a narrow
wheat market and can see nothing to
warrant investment buying of corn.
Bartlett Frazier Cove see no signs
of replacing our stocks of wheat, which
continue to decrease week after week.
In corn it looks as if the bears had
about exhausted their pressure.
Thompson & McKinnon-We look for
a strong situation to develop in wheat
in the northwest and advance the whole
market.
Clement Curtis - We believe all
grains can be bought on the breaks.
Wagner & Co.-May wheat is a specu-
lative investment. Corn theories cam
not displace the small crop figures.
Ware & Leland-Buy wheat and corn
on the weak spots.
Logan & Bryan-The wheat trade is
confident on the buying side. We
would buy corn on the weak spots.
Harris Winthrop & Co.-Decreasing
wheat stocks the world over will be
the order of things from now on.
Chaplin & Cove look for an ire
gular advance in wheat. Corn prices
will be governed by the weather and
the size of receipts.

an acreage Of 36,507, 100000 bushels.
The acreage and condition are the
highest on record. In spite OF the
figures there was strong support at
forded the market Immediately after
the issuance of ther eport and prices
weakened only slightly. The domestic
situation continues very heavy. Spring
wheat is surely gaining in strength on
winter ad this governmet report only
emphasizes this situation. 1t remains
to be seen what effect the government
figures will have abroad.
Corn has been strong all day due to
q decreasing country movement n in
creasing cash demand. New York re-
ported a cargo Of Argentine corr
bought to come there with further OF
ferings Of the same corn at 6S Sac.
AT no time was there much corn for
sale while on all declines, commission
houses were well supplied with. buy
ing orders. Until weather experiences
complete reversal, no free movement of
corn in the country8 be expected,
and in the meantime a scattered short
interest In December corr will be OBJ
liged to meet their December contracts.
