Hail insurance

AS the assessors returns are

Olson is compiling the details Of the
classification Of land for the new
state hail insurance law and this re-
port will be sent, to the state einsur-
snce commissioner. The Withdraw
al privilege closed June Is and it
is thought that 9 goodly portion Of
resident farmers in the county re-
mained and are insured BY the
state. A large acreage is believed
70 have been, withdrawn in the
state, but this comes largely from
speculative owners and nonresident
land holders who do not wish to
participate in crop protection for
the actual farmers Of the state. II
is said that about 40 per cent 81
land in North Dakota is held BY
spectators.

Leasing Land For
Farms Discontinued
Beginning June rs No Land win B. Ae.
espssd Except for liay...May
Lease Again In Fall

No applications will be accepted
after June 25 for the lease Of Indian
land on the Standing Rock reserva.
tion except for hay purposes, &C.
cording to an order issued by Supt.
j. B. Kitch to all farmers Of the
reservation under date Of June l3.
The order in part is as follows:
You are hereby notified that no
applications shall he accepted in this
office after June Is, 1919. for any
kind Of lease for Indian land, ex-
cept hay land, until further notice.
You will therefore please not make
any applications in your district for
leases after that date and you will
advise any prospective leapors who
importune you to do 10 that they
will save themselves further embar-
rassment and absolute rejection BY
complying with this rule. Leasing
Of land will probably reopen in the
fall. ti-
The reason for this action is that
fear this reservation will he over.
leased and that Indians will suffer
a detrilnent therefrom. We must
bear in mind that although surplus
land should be leased, that our first
consideration is the Indians and
that his interests must be consider.
ed no matter what conflict this
causes with the white mans
venture. !" Another reason for 70.
fusinR to accept any more lease ap-
plications Is that we have approx.
|i,nately ! ,00Q II aao,spleted,
here in this 6hlos " 4 III the hs,de
Of government FARMERS for compile
ton and we owe It to these Indians
and prior applicants for leases to
complete these leases in order that
these funds can be properly dis.
bursed.
"All prospective leasors Of this
reservation know that their leases
are not complete until they sfe q,
proved and should make no prepar.
alton or prior purchase or incur
any liability until these lens.s s are
approved. If they do so, il, IL done
at their own peril. We must bear
in mind that the interest Of the
Indian is paramount to all other
interests and an alleged financial
loss Of some white man who has
arbitrarily violated these rules by
assuming a lease before it is com.
pleted cannot influence a govern.
ment official to the detriment of
the Indian"
The overwhelming burden Of
work in this division is nothing un.
usual, owing to the fact that we have
prepared and completed approx
imately 800 leases in two years,
considered and prepared leases on
approximately 1000 more which
are now in progress Of completion,
completed over 1900 hay leases
sold over 200 pieces Of land, and
issued approximately 300 patent in.
fees. This work has all been done
by from two to three clerks in the
time that they can get between
