on ALL The INDIAN RESERVATIONS
Recommends Farm Meetings AS Aid
To Farming

The following circular letter (No.
S1S) is being sent out by Commits
sioner Sells, which is of much interest
to Indian farmers, and others:
DEPARTMENT OF. THE INTERIOR.
Office of Indian Affairs.
Circular No. SIS.
Washington, January 23,1914.
Spring Preparations for Farming
To superintendent Of Indian Reserva-
tions:
Every practical, up-to-date farmer,
before spring work begins, determines
what he will plant for the coming
season, the approximate acreage he
will seed of the several kinds of grain
to be sown, and the particular field
or tract to be used for such purpose.
He also determines before hand what
changes or improvements he will
make on his farm during the spring
and summer Having thus laid out
his plans he has a definite purpose
ahead to govern every days labor
and the expenditure of every dollar of
available funds. The Indian farmer
is usually wanting in mature plans.
and is lacking in initiative. IF left.
to himself he seldom begins work in
time for the best results and usually
undertakes too little to keep himself
occupied. Neither does he give suffi-
cient thought to early preparation or
endeavors.
To supply the initiative wanting in
some Indians. to inspire them tc
greater cndeavor, and to aid them in
laying out plans Ior the spring ana
summer work are among the most
important duties of the superintend
ent farmers and other employees
working with the adult Indians The
time best to start the years endeavors
IS before the season for outdoor work
begins Great good can frequently
be accomplished by holding farmers
meetings on the reservation, to be
managed by the superintendent and
farmers, where matters pertaining to
farming and stock growing should be
publicly discussed. This would be
educative in character, but the aim
should be particularly to inspire every
one to greater endeavor and to better
methods of cultivation, selection Of
seed, and seeding at the proper time.
Particular stress should be placed OH
deep, thorough tillage in arid regions.
the application of dry-farming
methods, and keeping the land proper
ly top-dressed.
In laying out plans, the reduction
Of the family grocery bills should be
a special aim, through the production
of such vegetables and garden stuff
as the family can use.
L desire that every Indian farmer
may know my personal interest in
him and his undertakings. 1t will be
a pleasure to me TO extend due credit
to each Indian who by nersonal en-
deavor can lay by sufficient stores to
carry his family and live stock !
through the winter in comfort and /
and plenty.
/ shall also be glad to give full credit |
to each superintendent and farmer
who, at the close of the coming sea- |
son, can show marked Increase in in I
dustrial achievements by his Indians.
Very respectfully,
CATO SELLS,
Commissioner.

JOHN WALSH NAMED
POSSIBLE CANDIDATE
Walsh IS the One and OaIy Man That Can
Win.

Oneof the bright progressive democrat.
IN Wisconsin is John Walsh, of Washburn,
and many Of his friends in various parts O.
the state are anxious to ll;aye man Of hi:
type head the Democratic ticket next fall
for Governor.
1he Progress has not heard Mr.. Walsh
make any expression pro or con in the mat
ter and ne may not be a candidate, but the
fact IS patent to every tax payer in Wiscon-
sin that tits high time for a change in the
administration of affairs in the law making
powers It is seen every day that the ma
chinery of state should be sirnpli6ed and a
lot OF commissions be eliminated. We be-
lieve, however, that the railroad commits
sion and perhaps one or two others are fix
lures IN our state government, and will not
be disturbed. But it is a foolish policy to
increase taxes by making too many sinecure
commissions
We are confident that it is almost impos-
sible to electsa democratic state ticket in
Wisconsin, unless it is headed byIa candid
ate for governor who will appeal and can
make large inroads on the almost solid re-
publican vote of the counties in the north
west part OF the state. And the Progress
believes JOHN Walsh would carry these
counties in thtse counties for the democra-
tic state ticket.
But the high taxes and discomfort visible,
for few years back, suggested that the
voters are ripe for a change in Wisconsin,
same as the people were in 1912, when they
elected Wilson to look after the the United
States policies Of government, and there is
popular vote against ritious appropriations
And it is now necessary that Wisconsin
have marked change in the complexion Of
its affairs
The discomfort on every hand the past
few years suggests to every good thinking
mind that good and true democrat of the
progressive kind like John Walsh would be
just the man if he would consent to be a
candidate S. bayfield, Progress.
We certginly approve the Progress choice
for governor and are Of the firm belief that
in Mr.. Walsh the democrats of this state
have man that can carry the ticket TO vic
tory and thus be the means of breaking up
the worst political machine the state of Wis
consin has ever known. He is a man that
is fair, square and above board and one of
the most brilliant men of the state and a
good, clean politician and ia his election the
voters would be assured of good, clean
administration. Yes, brother John Walsh,
for governor the man that stands for tie
people, by the people and with the people
first, last and all the time. With Walsh as
the standard bearer victory for democracy
is assurredl He is the right man in the
right place.
