districts for the schooling given
by these districts to the Indian
children. He stated that while the
tuition cost to these districts was
SIS cents per day per pupil, the
federal government appropriated
only IS cents per pupil per day.
He read a lengthy letter he had
Just sent to Congressman Roy E.
Ayers at Washington, calling his
attention to this unjust treatment
of these two school districts and
to correct this inequality.
Supt. Yellowtail stated that
while in Washington the Crow
delegation had taken up the mat
ter of having the government en-
courage the growing of sugar beets
on the Grow reservation irrigated
lands, especially in the Big Horn
valley south of Hardin, and stated
that the Grow Indians are going
to do everything in their power
to aid in bringing to Hardin the
construction of a beet sugar fac
tory, as the per acre revenue
from rentals on beet producing
land is more than double that
from any other crop.
He also told of his efforts to-
wards the stocking of the reser-

wild game, and stated that il
