The Pima reservation is divided into five districts, in each of which there is a District Farmer, employed by the government, whose duty it is to supervise the community and look after the general welfare of the In- dians, as well as giving instruction in farming and stock raising. There is also a day school in each of the districts where the younger children go to school until old enough to attend the boarding school. A friendly rivalry has grown between the districts as a result of the annual fairs. and is an incentive to improve ment A premium is awarded each year to the district making the best general exhibit; and to further stim- ulate interest in the fairs. the as sociation is endeavoring to provide a trophy to be awarded to the dis trict which makes the best showing covering term of five years.
 The fair includes competing ex- hibits from the day schools as well as from the boarding schools. Of which there are two on the reserVa- tion. the Pima boarding school at Sacaton and the St. Johns Mission school in the Gila crossing district. The Indians and schools of the Salt River reservation. though under separate jurisdiction. also exhibit their products at the Pl1na Fair.
 The first Pima Fair was held in October 1911. Each fair since then has been a decided improvement over those preceding, and while the agri- cultural products for the most part consist of wheat, barley, beans, melons, and squash which have been grown on the reservation for years, each year there is a larger and better exhibit of grains. vegetables and other products which are com
 paratively new to the reservation. The fact that there were a number

instruction. As a result several In dian families upon the reservation keep bees, and with further en- couragement the industry should develop rapidly and become the source of added income. The conditions on the reservation are well adapted to bee culture.
 The premium list and program is prefaced with an announcement, one paragraph Of which says:
 Our fairs nave been made sue cessful through the generosity of the business men and friends of the Pima Indians. in the cities and towns about the servation-PhoeniS, Mesa, Tempe. Chandler, Florence and Casa Grande. and the merchants upon the reservation. We are glad of this opportunity to thank them and give assurances of our appreciation"

tion Employees Meeting, returned students conference and a Farmers Institute in which the Indians O. the reservation will take part There will also be a three day program of racing and sporting events, in Cluding football games between In dian teams.
 During commencement week at the Pima boarding school last May. a
 farmers institute was held at which the topic for discussion was "Reser- vation conditions and how they may
 be improved" The interest taken
 in the discussion by the Indians was surprise to many, and the talks made by some of the Indians made
 it clear that they themselves are anxious to improve conditions and have good ideas as to how i'm provement may be brought about.

of products exhibited at the fair last fall for which no premiums had been offered, no exhibits of these products being expected. indicates that the Indians are trying out new products. some of which have here tofore been considered unadapted to reservation conditions, pOpularly sup posed to require more irrigation to grow than is possible on the reser- vation
 An important feature of the fair will be a Mothers and Children s department. under the direction of Mrs. Annie F. Hoffman, Field Mat ron The headquarters of this de- partment will be the center of at traction for Indian mothers, as here, in addition to a rest room and con- veniences flor the care of small children there will be demonstration work and instruction in domestic pursuits and the care of children. Talks or lectures on subjects help full to Indian women will be given by prominent women of Phoenix who have become interested in the do- nestle half of the Indian problem. A baby contest in which the best babies physically will have an in ming as well as the cleanest and neatest and pretty babies will be an attraction during the afternoon of the second day, November 4th. In the management of this depart ment Mrs. Hoffman will have the assistance of two educated Indian women. Mrs. Mollie Schurz and Mrs. Virginia Antone.
 The poultry department will no doubt prove itself worthy of special mention as there will be on exhibit birds of the principal breeds that one would hardly expect to find upon an Indian reservation. Antipathy against anything in the shape of a chicken is well known trait to most Indian tribes, but many of the Pimas take as much pride in their Orphingtons, Leghorns and Minorkas as trey do in their horses. and the interest in poultry is by no means confined to the women members of the household. The poultry industry of the Pimas is one in which com mission merchants and dealers in poultry products might interest them selves to their own profit as well as increasing the chicken money" Of the Plma women. The industry has grown in spite of the lack of local market and distribution facilities While the inhabitants of Phoenix are eating cold storage eggs at thirty five to fifty cents per dozen much of the product of good healthy In dian flocks go to join their kind of the summer before on the roofs of sheds because there are no facili ties for handling and disposing of them with profit
 Honey will be a new product of the reservation to make it's ap- pearance as an exhibit at the coming fair. Through the self interested efforts of MT. Herbert Marten, em- ployed as a clerk in the office at SaCaton, the Pima boarding school now has an apiary consisting of fifty three hives of bees, from forty-two of which the product was sold, dur ing the season. bringing in a total income of s320.
