INDIAN EXHIBIT MARKS
NEW AGRICULTURAL ERA.

Cation Sells. commissioner or IN
Dian AFFAIRS, in cooperating with the
Mitchell Corn Palace Officials this
year in the big Indian exhibit, has a
two-fold object. The first is to assist
the Corn Palace and the second is to
demonstrate graphically the kind OF
work that the progressive Indians of
South Dakota are doing and bring to
the attention of visitors this week
that there are classes among In
dianS. the same as. among other class
es OF people.
Before Mr.. Sell adopted this meth
cd OF showing the fruits of the In
dans labors, about the only idea
that many people had of Indians was
gained from visits to wild West"
class i'll paint and feathers gave
freak dances and made clowns of
themselves in general, according to
the directions OF their employers at
so much a day. Such exhibitions have
passed and agricultural and CONNER
cial products by Indians have taken
their place.
Thousands of acres of South Da-
kota land is owned and being farmed
by progressive Indians on the differ
ent reservations and Mr.. Sells, as
head of TIE Indian department for
the federal government. is insisting
on more and better farming. Some
idea of the extent OF this work can
be gathered from the size of the re-
servations represented in the eNhib-
it in the Corn Palace, which was
made possible through the efforts
OF Frank T.. Brandon, superintend-
ent Of the Lower Brule agency.
The Pine Ridge agency has about
900 Indians and about 10000
square miles of land. Yankton agency
has Isis Indians and the Cheyenne
River agency has about 1000 In
dans. The balance of the exhibit is
taken from the different schools and
agencies in the state and represents
