Bureau News)
Prof. H. A. d. Leggett, poultry
specialist of the Extension Service,
will be in Lamoille county the week
of October 10 to 10 to give culling
demonstrations. At these demon
strations, two or three of which may
be held every day, Professor Leggett
handles typical birds from the flock
on the farm on which the demonstra-
ton is held, pointing out the charac-
teristics which indicate the good
layers. After this part of the dem
onstration is ended all those present
have the same opportunities to handle
these birds, observe the points and
discuss with them Professor Leggett.
We wish to arrange for demon
strations in as many communities as
possible and make the best of Mr..
Leggett's time. If you are interested
in a poultry demonstration in your
vicinity call or write the County
Agent and don't put it off until the
last part of September.

last evenings sun cast into
silhouette fifty-three dropping
figures that topped rise at the
entrance to the Pala Reservation
in Riverside County, California.
The figures were those of Mission
Indians released from the Los
Angeles county Jail and returning
home. Two were carried in blank
cts. They were Juan Razon, d.
ing at the age of 1926, and Manuel
Torres, aged ITO, and too feeble
to walk. IT,.
There were no feathers, no show
of fnery such as decked Mission
braves when they took the war
path in ancient days. The Indians
wore the rags Of civilization.
Their faces were ~grimy with dust
and many were ~pinched by pain.
The Indians were charged with
copspiring to defraud the United
States Government. Ida May
Adams, a frail, but energetic wom'
an attorney, had won their release
from Federal Judge OSCAR A
Tippett. That afternoon the small
woman confronted a scowliDg

The Judge believed her and re-

place at later date. .:.

Instead of there being a cen
spiracy by these Indians to de-
fraud the Government, they de-
clare there is a conspiracy afoot to
exterminate the Indians. Doctor
Comstock, who is familiar with
the Mission TRIBES history, said
that if the treaty of 1852 had been
ratified by thu Government the
Mission tribe would be the richest
of any Indians. AS it is, they are
the poorest. Improper housing
and general oppression, he said,
had reduced the number of Indians
in California from 10000 to
about 5000. Indian agents, them.
selves, have been their chief op.
pressors, Doctor Comstock says.
The Indian superintendent is
chosen for his supposed philan-
thropic qualities" says Doctor
Comstock. He is supposed to
protect the Indians; but when
these poor creatures were brought
here for trial only one agent in
the whole territory came here to
speak word for them. That was
