Stevenson Says He
. Will Seek Reelection,

The following telegram to Mr..
j. S Arneson, editor of the
Tribune, Thief River Falls, Min.
nesota, was released for publica-
ton Friday, December 9th:
The statement originating in
Minneapolis that l had decided to
retire from Office is wholly I'm.
authorized and untrue. In work
ing for legislation in the interest
of the farmers, especially regard
ing the marketing and grading of
grain, l know l have incurred the
hostility of certain interests in the
grain trade and their wish to
retire me is no doubt father to the
thought. My grain grading bill
is now on the calendar and a
favorable Endorsement by the
Congressional Convention would
greatly helpin securing it passage.
(Signed) Halvor Stevenson.

Where Stands The So
ciety Of American H.
dams?

< The Society of American Indians
has never wavered from doing what
is best for the Indian people. 1t
has always taken a high stand lin
its object. a great aim that is noble
and grand. Opposition may con-
front the object of the Society as
high as mountains, but the Society
goes on working for the best in
terest of the Indians. There is no
faith like knowing you are right.
The Society believes that they are
working in a just cause when they
sacrifice themselves in behalf of
the Indian people. All great
objects require some sacrifice.
70 work for the Indian cause is
a serious and vital matter with the
Society of American Indians. To
help the Indians and plead their
"
cause, we cannotsbe half and half,
or edge upon anything that is
selfish. To work to free q race
from bondage it must come from
the heart; to work for the rights
of wronged race it must come
from God in man. Great bene-
factors are those who work for
the glory Of God, help their
fellow men and stand true to their
country. If ever there was a
society that was seeking Gods
will, endeavoring to help its
fellow men and standing true to
It's country. it is the Society OF
American Indians.
The object the Society has in
view is truly : noble one-Freedom
and Citizenship for the Indian
people. "

Agricultural G ! raj Societies 5 D I!||||l
Share in State Aid
. Fl :. {. Appropriations,

Minnesota's annual Christmas
gift to the County Agricultural
Societies ofsthe State went for
ward last week when r. P. Chase,
State Auditor, officiating as Santa
Claus, completed the mailing of
checks to the amount of $40, $780,
81, state aid to the societies.. T.
This aid to the agricultural
associations of the state is directed
by law and is based on the premi-
'ums paid by the various societies,
the maximum basis of pro rating
reimbursements to any one society
being $1,000. The largest amount
received by any society in the
state is 81, 1854. The 1921 legisla-'
ture appropriated $4,000 for
this purpose and this with the
balance available was divided pro-
rata at the rate of ninety-two cents
on the dollar. .ll,.
The Becker County Agricultural
Society & Fair Association is
reimbursed to the extent Of
81, 564.O0, having reported total
premiums paid amounting to
81, 1850. Pm La:
The appropriation for aid to the
agricultural societies made by the
last legislation is the largest since
the law was enacted and its en-
couraging effect is found in the
large amount of premiums paid to
exhibitors this year., The cash
outlay for this purpose. as made
by. the societies in conformity
with the legislative act. amounted
to 1892, 1871. ~. s.s. r ia Fl. Il.
According to Mr.. Chsse state
aid to county fairs has been OF
material benefit in an agricultural
and community way. 1t has stabl-
iiized, quite few tottering agri-,
cultural organizations and at the
same time Eit has given to the
county fair movement degree of
permanency which argues we'll for
the future of the societies. In
this years division of the aid
nearly every county in the state is
interested. In all ninety-six So
cieties participate.

Much interest is being mani
tested in the REORGANIZATION
plans proposed by President
Harding. The Efficiency Bureau
have about completed their plans
and their findings will be recon-
mended BY the President to Con-
gress. The detailed plans will
undoubtedly be brought out later.
Much speculation is being INDUCED
in by Indian Bureau officials on
the one side, and the Indians and
their friends on the other regard
ing the taking of the Indian Ser
vice from the Interior Department,
and the shaving" of quite few
of the departments from the
Indian Bureau. Without doubt
several will be transferred to
other Departments where it is
claimed they rightfully belong.
thus saving large sums of money
and giving at least some improved
conditions. It is expected that
the Indian Bureau will lose at
least five of these departments.
And, the fight goes merriIy on. .

ROCK HILL. BANK
ASSEMBLIES DATA
Sends Out Questionaire as to Cotton
Reduction Forecast

Rock Hill, March 12.-That the
acreage planted in cotton in South
Cafolina this year will be materially
reduced is shown in the summary of
a survey just completed by the Peo-
Piles National bank. The survey was
a most comprehensive one and was
made with the idea of getting an ac-
curate statement of conditions in
every part of the state. 1t is under
stood that similar surveys are in
progress in other cotton growing
states and the indications point to-
findings similar to those cleaned
from the South Carolina survey.
And while the acreage will be
materially reduced it is believed the
yield per acre will be less than for
merry. Conceret reasons for this be-
lief is found in the fact that the
farmers are not going to be able to
finance the planting of as large an
acreage as last year, and in the fur
ther fact that large number are
going to be unable to purchase
proper fertilizers to insure the usual
yield. The facts that this will be the
case in South Carolina are indisput-
able, and it is believed that the
same conditions obtain in most of
the cotton states.>
The survey by the Peoples Nation
al bank was made by means of
QUESTIONABLE to every bank in the
state. Nearly all the banks filled in
the replies to the questions asked.
The summary of the replies made
public today, shows that the farmers
of the state now have on hand about
SO per cent. of the 1920 cotton crop,
Of which nearly 80 per cent grades
under mitdling. The acreage reduc-
ton in the state is estimated in the
replies at 37.8 per cent, and the re-
duction in the use of commercial
fertilizers will be around 63 per
cent. Because of the very great
acreage reduction, the small use of
fertilizers and the difficulty in secur-
ing financial aid, it seems that the
yield of cotton in South Carolina
during 1921 will be far less than in
1920" stated an official of the
bank in commenting on the sum-
mary from the survey.
Continuing, the summary shows a
decided majority of the banks re-
plying stated emphatically that they
would require an acreage reduction
before granting loans, while>a great
many more who do not require it,
will urge and advise in favor of re-
duction. Practically no bank in the
state intends to lend any money for
the cash purchase Of fertilizers, the
replies show while few of the lien
merchants Of the state are prepared
to extend credit to the farmers this
year without the help of the banks.
"Within the last day or two," said
one of the bank Officials in discuss
ing the survey, reports have been
coming to US that many farms are
being abandoned because the ten
ants are unable to make financial
arrangements to plant another crop
of cotton under present conditions"
