anticipating planting. Where ever
possible, plant and grow all thefood
stuff that is required at home. In
other words ''make u living at
home, and then plant your surplus
soil in cotton, sweet potatoes, peas
etc, and grow plenty OF feed stuff and
try and keep few dairy cows, pigs
and plenty of poultry. These things
where rightly cared for, will bring
you some profit, even though 1t be
small. What cotton you plant
work 1t fast, make 1t grow off fast
as possible by using Il good applica-
tion of fertilizer. At present prices,
nitrate Of soda and phosphate are
the best fertilizers we can use. Use
about X soda and 4 phosphate or rs
soda and 3-5 phosphate. Two good
ways Of using, First: mix the phos-
phate and soda and apply directly
under the seed so the seed will not
be on the acid phosphate. Second:
apply phosphate under the cotton
and apply the soda around the cot
ton as soon as it has been chopped
thru. This will make your cotton
grow and develop faster, thereby 1t
will begin to fruit earlier, and will
set partial crop before the weevtis
! get too numerous. Plant as early as
possible and use plenty OF seed to OBJ
tain good stand. Use from to 1h
bu. per acre. Have plenty OF cotton
on the land. prefer rows about
or 3h feet apart and the cotton from
lS to II inches In drill one or two
stalks In place. l will have plenty OF
good WannamakerC Cleveland Cotton
seed for distribution In a few days.
Have ordered 600 bushels of these
seed. Should be here by Friday or
Saturday.
| We are going to order some sweet
potato plants in few days. Any
one wishing me to help them secure
'hese plants, write me card and
let me know the number Of plants
you will want me to order. We are
advocating the use OF the Porto HI
CO and the Nancy Hall varieties, az
they are good potatoes and will
stand marketing better than most
any other kind. We will try tc

GOVT. OFFICIALS PLEASED
INDIAN DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS INSPECT AND
REPORT

Peyton Garter and f. b. Lennin,
United States Inspectors in the Indi-
an Service were enthusiastic over
the condition of The Choctaw
Indians in this and adjoining
counties. The three schools are
doing excellent work, and by educat-
ing the younger Indians will make
1t possible for them to aid the older
members of the tribe. The Depart.
ment of Indian Affairs, according to
MIR. Carter, is trying. to teach the
Choctaw Indian to help himself.
Some of the western and northern
Indians have been assisted by the
government to such an extent that
they have become almost wholly de-
pendent upon the government for
sustenance. In other words, they
have not learned to care for them
selves, but lean too much upon gov
eminent assistance. 1t is the purpose
of the Department OF Indian Affairs
In their work with the Choctaws, to
teach them to work out their own In
dependence and salvation. Mr.. Car
ter says that the Choctaws are far
In advance OF the western and north
ern Indians socially. economically.
and industrially. They are a home
loving tribe, are less addicted to
drink and, therefore, are more law
abiding.
Many of the western and northern
tribes are depraved. and many of
them, like the Sioux, are nomadic In
nature. They prefer to go from place
to place, and care for nothing but a
pony and dog. Among them the
marriage ties are not as sacred as
among our Choctaws. 1t is general
ly observed that the Choctaw chill
dren are brighter, more healthy and
cleaner than many of the northern
and western tribes. In their social
and economic life they are already
several years In advance OF many OF
the other tribes.
The Department OF Indian Affairs
believes that the problem OF the
Choctaw is an educational one, and
that In solving this the Choctaw
will make economic advances.
The officials are SO well pleased
with conditions in the Indian schools
that other schools will be recon.
mended. Under the supervision OF
United States Agent Frank j. Nc.
Kinley, three government Indian
Schools have been built in Neshoba
and Leake Counties during the past
three years.
