INDIANS WANT TO LEARN BETTER
FARMING, INSTITUTE CORPS FINDS

Indians in the Standing Rock res
ervation district are eager to learn
better ways Of farming, d. f. Will
lard, of the Farmers Institute Corps
of the office of the Commissioner
Of Agriculture and Labor sa d
here upon return from holding
four meet ngs attended by In
dians exclusively. The Institutes
were arranged, according to r. G.
Catron, in charge of the institute
work, at the request of Supt. f. d.
Mossman of the Ft Yates Indian
agency, to aid in the five-year farm
ing education program outlined by
him. The Indians, Mr.. Catron added,
were American citizens.
! The Indians were interested, chief
ly, in how to raise more to eat, Mr..
Willard said. Corn and potatoes fur
nished the basis of most Of their
questions, while some asked about
sweet clover. The questions concern
ing livestock first of all concerned
horses, he said, and questions 'con-
cerning cows followed in order.
1T was a fine experience" Mr.. Viii
lard said. "They brought to us some
exceptionally fine examples of pro
ducts raised, particularly corn. The
meal they make from their flour
corn makes as palatable cake as one
can ASK"
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-03-26

Mr.. Willard and the institute corps
were piled with questions as to the
difference between good seed and
bad seed, how deep to .plow, how
many kernels of corn to put in II
hill and how to cut potatoes for
planting.
Under the fivc-ycar plan of edu-
cation inangurated by Supt Moss
man, Mr.. Willard said, certain things
such as corn, oats, feed, hay and
dairying were being emphasized .
While the government resident "far-
mers" work among the Indians aid
ing them in farming, the Indians told
the institute corps it was the first
time the white men had ever come
from the outside to tell them how to
farm better, and that they appreciat-
ed it.
The meetings were held at Ft.
Yates. at the, Porcupine station, near
Shields and at Cannonball. All meet
ings were held in the tribal houses,
with the speakers in the center and
the Indians circied around. The
talks were made through interpreters.
The corps included Mrs. Gordon
Randlett and Dr. Hollenbeck. and Mr..
Willard expressed the belief that
some good was accomplished in teach
ing the Indians better ways of farm
ing.
