Progress Of Indians
in Agricultural Pursuits

The splendid array Of agricultural
and horticultural products designat-
ed as the Pine River valley, Ignacio
and Ute Indian exhibit, that occupies
conspicuous place in the agricul-
tural hall, is eloquent evidence that
the governments efforts to make the
Indians self-supporting citizens are
bearing fruit. The produce was grown
by them on their lands, under the
general supervision of the farmer at
the Southern Ute agency, and COM
pares very favorably with the best
their white neighbors have on dis
play. In fact when competing with
them at the Ignacio fair, the Indians
captured the first prizes for wheat
and oats, the yield being better than
sixty bushels to the acre. The exhi-
bition includes grains, grasses, vege-
tables and fruits.
There are Bermuda onions seven
teen inches in diameter, corn stalks
IL feet hifh, alfalfa that is fully five
feet, squashes that tip the scales at
80 pounds, cantaloupes that compare
favorably with the Rocky Ford va
rieties, peppers that look as though
the had been grown in California gar
dens, sugar beets as good as the state
affords, potatoes that are large, firm
and smooth and free from blemishes,
watermelons that would delight the
heart of darky, and samples of the
grain that wrested the prizes in COM
petition with the white competitors.
There are rs plates of apples which
represent twent-five varieties. The
articles are so uniformly good that it
is indeed difficult to determine which
were produced by the farmers of
years of experience.
The spirit of competition is very
strong with the dusky tribesmen and
is the keynote Of their success in any
line Of endeavor. In the olden times
it was confined to games and horse
races, but now it is beginning to find
its outlet in agricultural lines, and the
provisions for fair exhibits is prov
ing one of the best opportunities to
demonstrate and encourage this. It
is hoped that the government will ap-
preciate the value this has in inspir-
ing the Indians to do better farming.
and make financial arrangement for
it at annual events in the future.
