REPUBLICAN, TICKET
A TREE-LOVING FARMER

|. d. 0'Donnell of Billings Mont. has farm one
mile square, with solid of trees around his four
mile fence line. A lane running through the middle
OF the farm is bordered all the way with box-elder
Ihe irrigation canal which flows through the property
IS lined with trees both sides Every bit of space on
those $40 acres not absolutely needed for other pur
poses and capable of bearing trees is foreste There
are many thousand trees on the place, representing
every native Montana species.
Moreover every farm in the neignborhood is stock
ed with trees from the ODonne farm Billings streets
are 1ull OF trees from the same source. And ODon-
nell has made practice, for many years of giving a
tree on arbor day. to every public school in the city
This specialization has not prevented the ODon-
nell farm from being known, far and wide as model
farm IN every respect But it is known especially for
Its arboreai beauty and the Influence it has had in
bringing charm and profit to wide area of what other
wise might have been farm land, unadorned and
unattractive
Along with his tree culture O'Donnell takes an
unusual interest in birds. The birds naturally go with
the trees The birds good for the trees and the
trees are good for the birds And both are good for
the farmers. O'Donnell, according to Sunset Maya
zine, believes that if he interest the farmers in
birds he will be able to induce them to plant trees
and where trees are planted you have attractive
homes and contented families; and keeping the
family contented is Of the problems of the farmer
today"
Here is something which the Imperial Valley
farmer might do for himself the value of which
not be exaggerated. IN example alone this Montana
farmer is of the great benefactors of American
agriculture.

The Indian Bureau of the United States govern

Indian population. 1t is found that there are now
346962 indians in this country, an increase OF Zol9
over last year. These include only the tribal Indians
who are still living reservations or IN their own
groups There are approximately 10000 more who
have surrendered their tribal identity and are now
counted in the general population.
Oklahoma has the largest Indian population of
any OF the states Next in order the states OF
Arizona South Dakota, New Mexico, California, Min

New York Oklahoma's Indian population numbers

For years we have heard that the Indians were
