PROMISE INDIANS IN
FARM ORGANIZATION
One of Most Picturesque Farm
ers' Clubs Formed in Dewey
County, South Dakota.

One of the most picturesque farm.
ers organizations In the United States
Is the Promise Indian Farmers Club
in Dewey county, South Dakota. The
club was organized a number of years
ago and holds regular meetings at
which are discussed all agricultural
problems Of vital Importance to the
group.
Since the organization of the farm
bureau the Promise Indian Farmers
club has affiliated with that organlza-
ton. The work Is now carried on
along the lines laid down by the
county farm bureau, the work being
handled as n separate department In
the county organization.
The Indians of Dewey county are
raising some corn and small grain.
The output Of small grain, however. Is
greatly limited because they have no
thrashing or binding machines. with
which to harvest. The nature of the
land on which they are located is
rough and billy, and none of the ma
chimes from the prairie section of the
country Will venture into the rough
land to do the thrashing
The project on which the Promise
Indian Farmers club section of the
county farm bureau Is now working
is that of securing horse power
thrashing machine which can be
moved from place to place. The In
dlans have plenty of horses to carry
on this work. and with such machines
they can double their small grain
acreage.
A great deal of interest is being
shown by them In live stock and poul-
try.

FRESH TOMATOES
IN GOOD DEMAND
Rapid Growth of Industry in Unit

vesting and Packing.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Preparation of Fresh Tomatoes for
Market" Is the title of Farmers Bull
letin 1901, just issued by the bureau
of agricultural economics, United
States Department of Agriculture. In
this new bulletin the author, #. Earl
Parsons. gives specific suggestions as
to the best methods of getting this
popular vegetable from the field to
the market
Bio Gain Last Year.
A 50Acent gain In tomato shipments
In 1922, compared with movement OF
the previous year, shows the increas-
ing demand for this product. Average
shipments have been less than 1900
cars per year, but during the past sea-
son 10000 cars were forwarded. In
view of the growth of this industry, 1t
is becoming increasingly important
that producers and shippers use only
the most approved methods Of har-
vesting, packing, grading and loading,
which are described in Farmers Bull
letin 1901.
This publication points out that
there are three stages of maturity at
which tomatoes may be picked, de-
pending largely on the distance they
must travel before being placed on
sale. Mature green tomatoes, or
'green-wraps," constitute the bulk of
shipments from Florida and other
states in the southern tier. Pink to-
matoes, or those which are turning"
come chiefly from southern Illinois and
sometimes from Texas and Tennessee,
whereas ripe tomatoes go to nearby
markets In the southern sections and
comprise the bulk of shipments from
Missouri, Ohio and New Jersey.
The necessity for care in picking, in
field handling, In sorting and in pack
ing Is emphasized in this new bulletin.
The author says that "the interior
of the picking utensil should be In
spected carefully and all sharp edges,
nail points, and rough surfaces
smoothed off. Small skin breaks re

RATION FOR ORDINARY COWS
Corn sllaoe, Alfalfa Hay, cornmeaI
and Ground Oats Are Among
Necessary Feeds.

1t requires ration of 35 pounds of
corn silage, II pounds of alfalfa hay,
8 pounds Of cornmeal, and 2 pounds
OF ground oats per day for an
ordinary cow to produce $3.50 pounds
OF milk year. Reducing 1t to 80
pounds of corn silage, pounds Of al
falfa hay, with grain the same as be-
fore, 3 pounds of cornmeal, and 2
pounds Of ground oats, would reduce
the milk to $500 pounds.

and ends about four and one-half
months after birth. 1t Is believed that
the time between these two growth
cycles Is critical period and there Is
considerable danger of abortion at
this time-about the seventh month.
The third period of rapid growth be-
gins about II months after birth and
ends about 20 months after birth.
Each Of these spurts or cycles of
growth proceeds in a characteristic
manner. The rapidity of growth In
creases until about the middle Of the
cycle when the gain made Is most
rapid, then 1t slowly dies down.
The practical value of this informa-
ton lies in feeding an abundance
when growth is naturally most rapid
Animals will thus be enabled to grow
to their full inherited size.

When a heifer, at her first freshen-
Ing at less than two years, will pro-
duce more than twice as much milk
as the average mature cows in the
dairy herds Of the country, there Is

Aroused by smoke that filled their

morning, were compelled to rush out
into the frlgid atmosphere, scantily

Neighbors responded as soon as
the alarm was given and the con-
tents Of each home was saved, with
the exception OF the cook stoves.
which were too hot to be handled, as
they contained fires.
Engine Company No. 6 and tho

companies responded. but as there
was no water except in a well, they
could do little but use chemical
streams on the flames. The barn
and another building nearby were
saved.
The fire. attributed to a defective
hue. originated in the attic, which
covered both dwellings. and quickly
ate its way to the ground. The loss
ON build ngs is estimated at $4,000
with insurance of $4,000. The loss

DRAFT HEREAFTER

While william J. Lutz, Chief OF
the Bureau of Fire, was entertain
ing a party of friends at dinner at
his home. 4O7 Jefferson street, last
night, someone pushed open the
front door and yelled: "Chief, your
house is on fire!"
Without waiting to don uniform
or even equip himself with rubber
coat, the chief rushed from the
building and looking up on his roof
found flames shooting from the
chimney like blast from an iron
furnace, sending clouds of heavy
smoke over that portion of the city.
Realizing the cause of the trouble.
Chief Lutz ran to his basement and
shut off the draft of his furnace.
The flames subslded at once and
soon only a slight column of smoke
ascended. The dinner party was re-
sumed.
Having experienced considerable
trouble in his attempts to burn the
rocks, camouilaged as coal, the Chief
tried the experiment of burning soft
coal. 1t burned all right, but the
Chief hereafter will not give his
heater quite so much draft as he
did last night.

UNITARIANS WERE
NOT INVITED

The Rev. w. A. Vrooman, pastor
Of the Unitarian Church, today is
sued the following statement:
sSome friends have today asked
me why the Unitarian Church was
not represented last night at the
meeting in the Y. NJ. c. A. Ct which
II IS said all the Protestant
churches started to organize for CO.
operation on good works. We have
many friends in the city who will
make the same inquiry. It is only
proper that we should say that we
We're not invited.
THAT in itself would be of little
consequence save as It illustrates a
principle. In looking through the
Directory of Philanthropic and Social
Agencies of Wilmington. I find that
members of the Unitarian church
are officers and directors on the
boards of twenty-five of these
agencies. That is not bad for one
small church We are doing what
we can to make the world a better
place to live in. But when the
Protestant churches meet together
IN council we are excluded. Why?
Probably not for social or per-
sonal reasons as we meet the min
isters and members of other
churches very cordially in % pub
lie philanthropies and in other
ways. The reason must be entirely
theological. We do not worship
Jesus Christ as God but are con-
tent to follow his example and com
.nandme1t in in using the Lords
Prayer as the model Of worship
We 40 not find the essence of Chris
uanity in the creeds Of the Fourth
Century but in Chriets Sermon on
the Mount. We 60 not think the
test OF Christian fellowship and
character on earth should be diff
ferent from that OF heaven and that
test according to Christ is "Inas-

Two probable locations have been
