MAKING INDIAN
 RESERVATIONS BIG STOCK FARMS

One of the big results of practical conservation as applied through the Department of the Interior under Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Lane is shown by the return from the new pol icy of breeding up'' the herds ranged upon Indian reservations by, the In dians. It is a fine work both for the Indians and for the whole country.
 The lands are protected from specu- 1ators and over-use by interruptions white Iessees, but it is insisted that they be made real producing factors and aid in furnishing the nations food supply. Three millions have been spent to put high class animals on the various reservations. Up-to- date Middle West stock-raising meth ods have been introduced. This means improvement of the entire herds of cattle, sheep and ponies by buying the very best male animals and weed ing out the scrub stock. The rapidity with which commercial results follow is best shown by concrete illustration:
 Upon February 8, J. H. Morris,I Su- perintendent of the Shoshone Indian Reservation rendered report to Com missioner Sells upon the stock-farm 1918, 1858 yearling Herefords and five bulls were purchased. In 1914 120 bulls were bought, making 2,078 head purchased in all.
 The natural increase during the two years and seven months from the time of the first purchase amounted to 1851 head, making grand total upon January 1, 1916, of STA head The losses due to shipping, deaths on open range and from poison weed, blacl<leg and the drowning of one bunch, aggregated 127 head, or under two per cent. a year. On hand, B. 587 head, valued at $1e8,935; Net profit in 2 years, months, $9s,226.12.
 With the exception of the supervis- ion given by Superintendent Norris and one white stockn1an, the Shoshone herd has been handled entirely by In dians.

 MOVE AIDS THE CROP MARK: ING

4 telegraph and mail news service" operated by the Government to aid the marketing of perishabIe crops with the rnaxim u1n Of profit and the mini mum of loss was started last Monday and became a principal feature of the Wilson Administration programn1e for the practical aid of farmers
 The annual waste of crops that ma ture and spoil quickly, such as berries, fruits. melons and garden truck gene rally it fs estimated, has amounted in the past to millions of dollars. chief cause of the loss has been lack of widespread information as to where and how to find market at the right time.
 To solve this problem the Ofice of Markets was created in the Depart ment of Agriculture two years ago Its organization has so far advanced that, now, branch offices have been estab- nshed in New ork, Boston, Philadel- p9lia, Buffalo, Pittsburg, St. Louis. Minneapolis and Kansas City. Other men are stationed in the principal pro- ducfng sections whence the more per ishabie products are grown in large quantity The Government men in the producing areas will keep in con stant touch with their fellows in the big markets and collaborate in coIlec- ting and distributing information on market conditions. The Market News Service will contain the results of their observations It will help both shippers and dealers.
 The information is to be sent out by telegraph to all who are sufficiently interested to pay the telegraph tolls and by mail to those who do not care to incur telegraph expense. There will be no charge for the service of providing the information.

Explains Freight Congestion.

According to a railsoad official the congestion was due to the big war orders placed here by the Allies, and more especially to certain clause in the contract relating to these orders. The docums snts do not call for delivery at New York or at seaboard, bur at point of origfn'': in other words. at the point where the orders are hl1ed As a& result, the com panfes manufac- turing war material have been putting in acquisitions for long strings of freight cars, loading them. mailing the bills of lading to the Allies agents in New york and receiving their pay. It Is then up to the Allies agents to see to it that the long rrains of freight cars come Co seaboard discharge their freight and return for more. Some of the earlier contracts for war ma teria1 called for delivery f. o. b. New Yorlks blt the delay in returning the car owing to the lack of ships upon which to load the munitions, caused holding up of payments to the muni- ton makers, who saw to 1t that when they signed new contracts the deIiv- sries were to be- made at s:pPiint of.
