The NEW OBSERVATION GRAZING TERMS

The experience of wheat growers on the Fort Peck reservation
has brought out forcefuny the Importance of livestock in any plan
of farming that promises success. An important item in the income
of the Fort Peck Indians is the money received from grazing leases
on a1otments. The success of local farming and stock ranching, and
the revenue received by the Indians from their lands has a direct
and important bearing on the prosperity of the towns O the reserva-
tin.
Therefore the new grazing terms and regulations adopted by the
Indian department for the Fort Peck, and all other reservations, is of
vital Importance to the farmers, the stock men, the Indians and the
business people The new system of leasing and controlling the graz
ing rights are the same as those employed on the national forest re-
serves. Forest reserves have no settlers o them. The minimum
rates are said to be Is cents per acre. Thirty acres " $3.50 per head
of large stock; six acres Of 80 cents per head of sheep. Summer
leases are from April to NOvember-six months only. Winter range
rights would cost the same a summer, according to the best informa-
ton at hand. The new regulations will be found in full in this issue
and indicate that complete control of the leasing and the stock grazed
will rest with the department
Users of range will it is understood, be given opportunity to bid
on the grazing rights on large blocks of the reservation range, with
the stated rates as the minimum.
There are many points to be seriously considered in connection
with the lew terms that have been adopted by Commissioner Rhodes
of the Indian department and approved by JOS. M. Dixon, (f Montana)
first assistant to Secretary Wilbur of the Interior department Will
the new system of control encourage the live stock industry and aid
the settlers? Will it aid the stock men in the present time of de-
preston in their business? Will it bring the Indians IS much or more
revenue from their lands? Will it work out for the general welfare
sides of the matter is earnestly suggested.

decided increase in the number en-.
rolled this year. New study groups
have been started in BONN and

provement in food habits such as
planning better balanced meals;
keeping food accounts; canning
more vegetables; planting larger
gardens; preserving more food for
winter use, such as eggs, butter,
milk, in form of cheese; and dried
green's.

II shelterbelts have been added.
Five Mandan shelterbelts and six
from the state nursery. Thirteen

of September and October, making
a total saving of S261.60.

A Relief Problem
(By H. e. Prall)

A man who had come to the golden West,
To make for himself a home,
Has suffered and labored and done his best
And has mastered the prairie loan.
But a year of depression augmented by drouth
Has robbed him completely Of cash.
He scarcely can manage to feed every mouth
And daTes not do anything rash.
He has some conveniences left from the past,
When, with others, he well could compete
A truck and a dio,-eve some gas,
But these are not something to eat.
This man and his family sit in their shack,
Far out on the lonely plain;
They have no potatoes: of flour not a sack,
Because of the shortage of rain.
The radio chatters: Wolf Point on the air:
The hour is about six P. M.
Two carloads of Red Cross potatoes are there
And some flour to be given with them.
At daybreak the farmer will crank up the truck,
And dash in to get their full share,
While all will be happy at having such luck
And think of the much better fare.
Another man sits with his family alone;
Conditions are roughly the same,
But they have neither radio, auto nor phone
They have played quite a different game.
Though needing supplies, they haven't a truck
1t would not help much if they had.
When a carload comes in they are just "out O. luck,
Not knowing, it's simply "too bad.
We picture the problem for all to observe;
Who has a solution to give
So the Red Cross can manage these people to serve?
Can manage to help them to live?

Mahatmi Ghandi, Wednesday was
sent to bed with a fever and cold.
He has insisted on wearing his
native Indian garb at the Indian
round table conference in London.
The weather in London the last
two weeks has been the sort to
make Britishers huddle into warm
clothing, raw, chilling foggy wealth
er, that proved too much even for
Indian stoicism.

QUESTION FOR r. ROOSEVELT

The question of who will be the Democratic nominee seems to be
as good as setted-nothing to it but Franklin Roosevelt of New
York. The 1892 campaign will briTle with issues. Many of them
are out in front right now. But does anybody know what Franklin
Roosevelt stands for? The delegates to the Democratic convention
will surely want to know. Let us hope that the New York governor
is not the type of candidate who waits for the platform drafters to
tell him what he stands for.
