be located by the presence of un-

INCREASING THE CORN YIELD
Result of interesting Experiment Con-
Quoted With Alfalfa by North
Dakota Station.

At the North Dakota experiment sta
ton, where manure and alfalfa sod
preceded corn, the yield was 1873 bush
els per acre in 1915 and 500 bushels
per acre in 1914. while the yield
of corn following corn in 1913 was 81
bushels per acre and in 1914 was $751;
bushels per acre. This made an in
crease OF 20.9 bushels in 1913 and 1872
bushels in 1917, or an average in
crease of 1875 bushels per acre due to
alfalfa and manure preceding the corn
crop.

BIG WASTE IN FARM MANURE
Estimated Value placed at $7oo,o 900
AnnualIy-As Much as Total Of
Wheat Crop.

(By PROF. ]. q. HUTTON, Associate
Agronomist. South Dakota State Col
lege)
1t has been carefully estimated that
the value of the farm manure which
is allowed to go to waste is $70O,OO0,-
600 annually. The wheat crop for
1912 has been estimated at 7S0,O00,O0O
bushels. 1t is seen from these figures
that the value of the manure going
to waste on the farms in the United
States is worth as much as the total
wheat crop of the country.

MAKING START WITH SHEEP
Any of Breeds Suitable to Local condl-

Make Cheap Start.

How many or what kind of sheep
one should buy to start with depends
on how one is situated, and whether
the idea is to raise lambs or to feed
out at once.
If the beginner wants to raise lambs,
fifty or one hundred young ewes would
be plenty for first trial Any of the
breeds suitable to your conditions are

How Wilson Sat On

If Prof. Moorhead, former spec

Chippewa appropriations there
would have Leen no big payment
made to the Chippewas of Mime.
soto this year.
Mr.. Moorhead wrote Senator
Gronna of North Dakota against
the efforts Of the Chippewa dele.
CATION from this state to get the
big payment made, or rather an
appropriation for the payment,
and stated that the efforts Of the
delegation was instigated by the
mixed bloods of this reservation
who wanted an appropriation as
we'll for the expenses of a general
council to further their schemes as
for the big payment He in fact
stated more than was true in order
to prejudice congress, and stated
that the publisher of THE IONA
HAWK, whom he named, was main
taining lobby at Washington.
Mr.. Moorhead's letter to Sen
ator Gronna. copies Of which he
sent to members of the senate and
house committees on Indian affairs,
was so incorrect and untruthful
that the publisher wrote President
Wilson, and accompanied by Mr..
D B. Henderson, the Washington
attorney, went to the White House
and the president not being there,
delivered the letter to the assist
ant private secretary of the presi-
dent who stated that when the
latter returned from short
ride down the Potomac River, it
would be delivered to him.
Upon receipt of the letter Presi
dent Wilson Immediately directed
Secretary Lane to make an investi-
CATION of the matter contained in
the letter.
Evidently Secretary Lane must
have learned that Moorhead had
been trouble maker upon this
reservation, for we were informed
last week oy Mr.. Robt. Holcombe
that he had seen in one of the
newspapers that Mr.. Moorhead
had resigned and had given as his
reason for doing 50 that the
mixed blood faction of this
reservation was being support
ed by the president and ne
could no longer remain with the
Board of Indian Commissioners.
Mr.. Holcon,be, who is one of
the writer's for the Minnesota State
Historical Society. no doubt saw
this in an eastern newspaper, so
that MIR. Moorhead's resignation
escaped the notice OF those upon
this reservation.
If Mr.. Moorhead has resigned,
the last of the trouble makers in
official circles is gone, and this is
good illustration of President
Wilson's intention to have a clean
! administration. This is what has
made him so popular with all
classes.
The Tomahawk., 1916-11-02
Establishes 4 Peculiar
system OF E|eCtiOneer-
ing Among Indians.

1t is to be regretted that the big
payment to the Chippewas of Min.
nesota is now in progress instead
of being delayed couple of weeks,
for it is charged that. it is being
used to prejudice Indian voters
against the present federal admin
istration.
The manner in which Supt. Hin
ton has been discriminating against
Indian democrats, and then plac-
ing the responsibility upon the In
dian office at Washington, it is
charged, leads the more intelligent
members of the tribe to think the
game that is being played, in view
of the doubt to which political
party Minnesota's electoral vote
viii 90, is only a new political
dodge to prejudice Indian voters
against the Wilson administration.
There may be no grounds for
the charge that Supt. Hinton, who
was formerly a democrat but is
now, it is stated, a republican, and
his office force, the members of
which are all republicans, are try
ing to favor their party. hence we
say it is unfortunate that the pay
ment is being made just prior to
the election instead of Immediate
ly following it.
There is no DOUBT that some
competent, sober and self-support-
ing, prominent members Of this
reservation, who are strong, active
democrats usually, have mad their
distributive share of annuities
with held by the superintendent
upon the most frivolous preteXts
while drunken warehouses; who
are well known republicans were
given their annuities without hest
ta,ion.
The suspicion that politics have
much to do with the manner in
which the payment is being made
seems to be we'll founded, for it is
not the first time that Chippewa
Indian payments have been used
to control Indian votes during an
election as this was done during
the last Cleveland administration
to induce the Indian voterss to be
present at the polls to vote.
Regardless of party affiliations
no person in the government SER
vice should use Indian annuity
payments to advance the interests
Of his party as it is charged Is now
being done by Supt. Hinton and
his force.
Whether the with holding of an
nuities was a part of a plan to
prejudice Indian voters against the
Wilson administration or not, it
has that result. Intelligent re-
publican and democrat Indians of
this reservation will have no SYM
pathy with the system Of using In
dian annuity payments to control
their votes.
Whether the same system will
be used upon all the Chippewa
reservations which are all under
the charge of republican superin-
tendents remains to be seen &C
cording to the results of the re-
turns after the election.
