Slight Error
In Ranking OF
County Home

A slight error crept into the Daily
Dispatch story of Tuesday about the
cost of operation of the Vance coun-
ty hol. e. The story stated this coun-
ty was the highest in the State at a
per capita cost Of 1882 per inmate
per month. That item in itself was
correct, according to the statement
of the State Board of Charities and
Welfare, the source Of the informa-
ton presented, but the cost per
capita per month was $34.29 in
Greene county for eight inmates of
the county home. The difference was
only 67 cents per patient per month.

ION the fall beef gather we picked
up our Long Horn again on Beaver

If the efforts of two Crow In
dams are successful, the 10Th leg
islative assembly may make it pos
sible for the smoke from the pey-
ote bean to once again curl above
the heads of the select during
tribal religious rituals.
Johnny Takes-the-Gun-ac cousin of
Robert Yellowtail, superintendent Of
the Grow reservation-and Thomas
Tobacco, both prominent members of
the tribe visited Helena from the Crow
agency to urge the peyote bean be
taken from the outlaw" class.
The peyote, a derivative Of the cac-
tus plant and close relative to the
ingredients which make the fiery
mescal. is banned by state law as hav-
ing narcotic content. The Indians con-
tend. however, that while it may have
narcotic powers, it is not habit form
ing. nor Is 1t used for any other pur-
pose than in observance of Indian re-
Igious sacraments.
Under federal legislation the use of
the peyote bean-outlawed under pro-
visions OF the law against traffic of
liquor and drugs among IndiansSwas
reinstated in 1885. due largely to the
efforts Of John Collier, commissioner
of Indian affairs.
Now, Takes-the-Gun and Thomas
Tobacco are representing their people,
who ask the state law be amended to
permit It's use in Montana.
Takes-the-G who is a federal
game warden at the Crow reservation,
quoted the policy Of the U. S. bureau
OF Indian affairs as voiced by the Sec
rotary of the interior in 1888:
I'VE want to encourage the Indian
to live his own life in his own way. We
want the white neighbors of their
original Americans to learn of their
religion and their ceremonies and to
respect them"
The Grow delegate asserted also that
legislation having to do with restric-
tons in relation to religious practices
hinders the Indian from assuming his
original place and in carrying on time
honored custom.

FARMERS AIDING
CROP REPORTS
NEARLY 5000, REPRESENTING AL
MOST EVERY TOWNSHIP IN
U. S. COOPERATING
Chairman of National Board, in Helena
to Confer With Montana Statistician,
Says Service Made Estimates on 107
Different Crops During 1888.

Nearly 5000 farmers, represent
ing every township in the United
States, are cooperating with the
government to assemble statistics
relating to crop and livestock pro-
duction and prices, according to
W. F. Callander, chairman of the
national crop reporting board who
was in Helena recently comforting
with Jay G. Diamond, senior agri-
cultural statistician for Montana.
During the year 1884, Callander
said, the crop reporting service made
estimates on LOT different crops rang
ing from avocadoS in Florida to mus
tard seed in Montana, illustrating not
only the great diversity of agriculture
in the United States. but the wide
spread demand for agricultural sta
tisticS."
The depression and economic events
of recent years have vastly stimulated
public demand for agricultural statis-
tics, especially from agricultural pro-
ducers themselves. 1t is evident that
agriculture is now making extensive
use of statistical data in its produc-
ton, marketing and planning activ-
tiles, much of the same way that bust
ness has always used statistics relating
to industrial production, prices and
finance"
"A surprising number of business
men are now using crop report infor-
nation as a guide to both production
and distribution of goods-an interest
ing example of one business greatly
interested in crop reports is that of
one of the great national circuses, who
study agricultural conditions and pros
their circus itineraries"
their circus itineraries
In Montana, according to Diamond,
hardly day passes that at least one
out-of-state request for agricultural
informa ton is not received. These re-
quests have increased greatly since
few years ago, due partly to stimulated
interest in such data and partly to the
greater accuracy of crop and livestock
reports in recent years, Diamond said.
The year 1898 marked the 18th an
niversary Of the crop reporting service
as a part Of the department of agri-
culture. The first service, however, was
furnished by the United States patent
office, beginning in 1899. The service
gathers crop and livestock information
from individual farmers and at regu-
lar intervals announces the crop con-
ditions and prospects for the entire
nation and for all agricultural prod
ucts. The first reports were made on
May /, 1868.
