indian SCHOOL
ESTABLISHED At
FORT APACHE

Washington D. c.. January 25th-
When the War Department decided
to abandon Fort Apache, many pro-
tests were made in Arizona particul-
arly from Apache and Navajo Coun-
ties. The question arose as to what
was to be done with the buildings and
the improvements and Hon Charles
H. Burke, Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs proposed that large boarding.
school be established for the educa-
tion of Indian children especially of
the Navajo Tribe. This plan met with
the immediate approval of Congress
man Carl Hayden who realized that
such school would not only aid in
the advancement and civilization Of
the Indians of his State but that it
would be more of an asset to Northern
Arizona than the maintenance of a
few soldiers at Fort Apache.
This plan has been approved by
Congress as is shown by the following
extract from the Interior Department
Appropriation act which has passed
both the House and Senate:
"The Secretary of the Interior is
hereby authorized to establish and
maintain the former Fort Apache mill
itary post as an Indian boarding
school for the purpose of carrying
out treaty obligations, to be known
as the Theodore Roosevelt Indian
School. For support and education
of $50 pupils, including pay of super
intendent, $4,000; for repairs, re-
modelling, and improvement, $4,000;
for purchase of equipment, $17,500;
in all, $105, 800, to be Immediately
available:
PROVIDED, That the Fort Apache
military post, and land appurtanant
thereto, shall remain in the possess
sion and custody of the Secretary Of
the Interior so long as they shall be
required for Indian School purposes"
The establishment of this new In
dian school undoubtedly means that
the road to Fort Apache, which in
wet weather, is now among the wrost
in Arizona, will have to be improved.
Congressman Hayden recently secur-
ed the passage of a bill through the
House appropriating $4,000 out of
the tribal funds of the Apache In
dians to match a like amount to be-
provided by Apache County for the
construction of a road from Cooley,
eastward to the reservation line. If
the Arizona State Highway Depart
ment or Navajo County will assist, it
is believed that the Indian Bureau
will also recommend a further ap-
preparation from Apache Indian funds
for the improvement of the road from
Cooley to Fort Apache.

GIRLS OUTCLASS
BOYS ON THEIR
SOUTHERN TRIP

The Winslow High School girls
and boys basketball teams returned
home Sunday night after barnstor-
ming trip thru Tempe, Mesa, Prescott,
Jerome and Clarkdale. The girls
with three scalps in their belt and
the boys minus theirs.
Altogether it was great trip and
Prescott learned we have two teams
that die hard, the girls finally refus-
ing to be buried and came out ahead
one point over the Badgerites.
McKees mysterious formation that
had defeated all corners so far this
year baffled the Winslow boys for
about eight minutes then fell to earth
with a crash as Holm and Janeway
began pitching in the goals one after
the other.
The game was a fast and furious
affair from start to finish and Pres
colt led at the halfway mark but had
to stretch out to win by a nose at the
finish and the final whistle counted
out 35 for Prescott to Winslow 80.
Friday the teams made the trip by
buss from Prescott to Jerome, over
the scenic highway and just about
the time the Winslow girls were
ready to play fine drizzle of rain
set in and lasted all the rest of the
afternoon.
Jerome has a new court this year, a
decided improvement over the old one
and after season game, handling a
slippery ball the six Maroon and
White Winslowites came out ahead
26-6.
The boys tried to duplicate the
girls feat but after twenty minutes
of sliding, slipping and poor referee
ing the score stood 1870 in favor of
Jerome and by the end of the forty
minute period the Miners had taken
the Maroon and Whites into camp by
40-4, Hitchcock and Williams being
responsible for the four lonely points
and both of them were made in the
last eight minutes of play, it almost
was a shut out for Jerome.
With two wins and two defeats
Winslow advanced on Clarkdale and
after getting billeted the girls ran
off an exhibition game of basket
shooting and superior guarding aginst
the Clarkdale team and finished far
with lead by 1873 score.
Determined to make a last and
drastic atempt to come out on top
the Winslowl boys tore into the Clark
dale team in a wild fray Janeway
leading the attack and Black of
Clarkdale trying to keep even with
him, which he did at two times dur
ing the melee.
The half ended with Clarkdale in
lead by one point 12-11 and at the
whistle Winslow made a fast and
furious squirt but could gain on
the Red and White Smelters and just
a minute before play ended Martinez,
of the enemy dropped in a pretty
'sinker" clinching the game by three
points 1913.
The girls record was an even break,
losing three games and winning three
while the boys hold the cellar cham
pionship with a percentage of 1000,
all losses.
Record of games follows:
Winslow, Girls 6, Tempe Normal II
Winslow Girls 5 Tempe H. S. 18

New Nutrition
Principles for
Feeding Cattle

Experiments in nutrition during
the last few years have resulted in
the discovery Of new principles IN
nutrition, many of which are import
ant in the proper feeding of dairy
cattle, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t has
been found that an adequate diet
must contain certain mineral ingredi-
ents, and also certain organic COM
pounds whose exact chemical nature
is still unknown but which have been
called vitamins. 1t is quite possible
to make up a diet from ordinary
feedstuffs which will contain suffi-
cient protein and energy, and yet the
deficient in either minerals or vita
Minis or both.
There is every reason for believ-
ing that the whole subject of feeding
for the maintenance of high milk
Yields can be very much simplifled
as compared with the systems Of
feeding now practieed.
1t seems probable also that the
mineral and vitamin contents Of
dairy feeds may be found to have
an important bearing on the breed
ing results of considerable practical
importance have been obtained, some
of which show that high gh-producing

Nothing German
About Poppy to
Be, On Sale Here

In connection with telegraphic re-
ports from the east this week thar
many poppies intended for sale on
Poppy Day next Saturday, had
been burned by American Legion
mebers when ii was found that they
had been made in Germany, do not
apply to the poppies which will be
sold in El Centre Saturday, accord
ing 10 the Rev. George A. Hartman,
commander of the BOyce Aten Post,
American Legion.
All Legion posts throughout the
country were advised to purchase
their poppies through national head
quarters of the Legion at lndianap-
oils. Some posts, being offered
better prices by private concerns,
purchased them, only to find later
that the poppies had been made by
their former enemies. and rather
than offer them for sale the pop
pies were destroyed.
The poppy which will be sold in
FL Centro saturday is the regular
Legion poppy, and they were made
by disabled French veterans, and
purchased by the legion to assist
their French comrades and TO en-
able Americans to help contribute
toward the Overseas Graves Fund.
There is nothing German about
the real Legion poppy and it is
hoped every one in FL Centro will
purchase at least one on Saturday

Alfalfa Declines

''G visited Stanislaus county re
Gently on alfalfa trouble there, an
noted that the alfalfa industry is
in serious decline in the light sandy
soils about Modesto. At the present
time Il number of the dairymen are
changing their locations because of
their inability to produce favorable
yields of alfalfa.
- doubt very much that "vanil-
lin is the principal cause of crop
decline in any region. There are
undoubtedly a number of factors
responsible for such Il condition,
many of whicl. are easily enumcrat,
ed. The failures of soil to con
tinue the production of heavy
yields of any crop is not due to Il
depletion of plant food in the soil
but rather to depletion Of the avail
able plant food constituents, and
in order to maintain the high pro
ducing qualities of The virgin land
il is essential to create condition
in the soil favorable for the liberia
tion of the optimum amounts of nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
This is done best by changing the
cropping system, by proper cultural
practice, by a regulation of soil
moisture, by maintaining of reas-

by consideration to the sanitary

State Soil Fertility Expert Says
Impoverished Soil Problem Is Not
Confined to Imperial Valley Alone

An interesting letter has just
been received by the farm advisor
fram Prof. j. w. Nelson, assistant
state leader of farm advisors and
formerly in the division of soil
technology of the University of
California and for a number of
years with the bureau of soils of
the |. $. Department of Agrieul-
ture. This letter, written in re
sponse to one by Garthwaite de
scribing the soil fertility tests now
being conducted in Imperial Valley
describes the serious results attend
ing the continuous planting of any
single crop, and points out the
nichols that should be adopted to
maintain high production.
Excerpts from the letter follow:
Problem is Widespread
HThcre is no question in my
mind but that proper crop rotation
is one of the most important essen
tails for the permanency of
California agriculture.
u am confident that the large
beet sugar factories in the coast
section of California. and, no doubt,
elsewhere in the state, will be fore
ed to close their doors because of I
neglect of this important and con
trolling essential for permanency Of
the sugar beet industry. The soils
of the Salinas Valley are very well
adapted to sugar beet culture, but
thro,u gh continuous cropping
through many years, cUr-le;f nema-
toids, and other unfavorable fac
tors have become such menace
that yields now average only about
40 70 so per cent of those when the
industry was started. In fact, many
fields have been entirely abondOned.
1.-The same condition is present in
the range about OXnard, only in a
more intensified condition.
"The WELD of beets in this
region are now only 20 to 60 per
cent of the original returns. The
Agricultural A Extension Service has
conducted some crop rotation work
in this section and find that it is
possible to increase the weld of
beets to the original output by a
proper arrangement of the cropping
system.
