Now Give Longer Indian Land
Lease.

Five-year leases on the crop ro-
tation plan, or four-year leases
for two straight summer-fallow
crops can now be written on To-
cal Indian lands, according to an
announcement issued from the
Nez Perez Indian agency at Lap
wal by Supt 0. II. Lipps.
Hitherto the leasing of Indian
lands has been limited to one,
two and three years. The change
in the leasing rules was made, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lipps, in response
to insistent demands on the part
of more progressive farmers of
the reservation for longer term
leases. 1t has also been conced-
ed, said Mr.. Lipps, that spring
crops, particularly when raised
on spring blowing, do not pay,
and are bad for the land
Authority for the heightened
leases has been secured from the
Indian office at Washington.
The agency at Lapwai has &C.,
900 acres of farm land under
lease. Independent of the agen-
cy, mlians are leasing about TO-
900 acres additional.
The Office Of the Nez Perez In
dian agency viii be open for the
leasing of Indian lands commenc-
ing September |. AS far as pos
sible leases will be written for
the following terms:
/. For five years ON crop ro-
tation plan as recommended by
the county farm agents or by the
state agricultural college.
2. For four years, two straight
summer-fallow crops, on lands To-
Gated on sections where the five
year crop rotation may not be
practicable.
3. For three years, one sum
mer-fallow crop and one spring
crop on fall blowing ON land loca-
ted in the more favorable sec
tions of the reservation.
4. For two years, one summer
fallow crop, where the four-year
lease may be impracticable.
8. For one year ON valley
lands used for gardening where
a longer term lease is not desired.
This plan is intended to elini-
nate spring grain crops as far as
possible in order that the fertili-

In the Hills.

Far into the north, O hills, you
stand
AS lions, with royal name
OF forest. Wild, imperial, you
command
Both wind and rain,
And brand
All mortals trespassers on your
domain.
But farther south, where men
have tried
To tame, you and laid bare
Your sloping side,
With but a ruffled fringe of trees
About your crest, you wear
The half-apologetic air
Of shaven spaniels-ill at ease
Although you share
The burden of the ripening grain
And gain
in usefulness what you have lost
in pride.
Wholly subdued, at last. you lie,
Shorn Sampsons,in a sunny field!
Calm and benign,
With friendly smile, though half
asleep
Beneath swealtering sky,
You yield.
Not rock, nor oak, nor pine,
But grass-for COW and sheep!
Helen Porter in Life.
