Funeral services will be held at
the Methodist Church tomorrow
Saturday afternoon at 2, with
the Rev. Edgar B. Smith ofhciat-
ing. Interment will be in the
Heart Butte cemetery.
Dick, as he was f a miliarly
known, had lived on the Black
feet Reservation since its beginn-
ing, in late 70s, having been in
Indian service work for 81 years,
from 1895 to 1882.
Through much of his lifetime
he had been a friend of the late
James Willard Schultz, prolific
writer of Blackfeet lore, who re-
nounced the white mans way of
life to follow that of the Black
feet.
Dick was first employed in the
Indian service as farmer with
headquarters at Old ency
when it was surrounded and pro-
tected by the old stockade to
ward off attacks by unfriendly
Indians of other tribes.
Later he was transferred to
Heart Butte Agency in the same
capacity, and during his last II
years in government service he
had been located at Browning.
This last work was done under
pay and title" of carpenter,
but his real work was official in
terpreter for the Agency staff in
all associations with the Black
feet.
At the Agency there was never
any provision for an Interpreter.
Thus, under the title" of car
penter, he filled with dignity the
office of interpreter.
While so employed he wrote
the entire genealogy of the fam
lilies of the Blackfeet tribe, from
the time he knew them and from
there as far back as he could
learn from members of living
families. This work is now a

Pope Plus Asks
Prayers For More
African Priests


NEW YORK, - Special - Pope
Plus XII has asked Catholics to pray
this month especially for an "in-
crease of missionaries in Africa. .
according to the national office of
the Society for the Propagation of
the Faith here.
During the last so years, the num-
Der of Catholics has increased in At
RIGA more than in any other place
in the world, but the encouraging
situation has created tremendous
problem for the Church, because of
the lack of a native clergy.
In the Belgian Congo and Ruanda-
Urundi, there are 3,282,OOO Catholics
out of population of $4,000 900,
with $4,000 under instruction who
are served by $50 native priests and
1900 foreign missionaries. The Bel
gian Congo and Ruanda- Urundi
have only one native priest for 49,
500 Catholics. One priest either ma
tive or foreign missionary, has 1900
Catholics and there is one priest for
every 1900 inhabitants.

Negro Farmers
Shown Progress

Negro farmers are showing def
mite progress in land ownership and
crop Investigation, said Field
Agent t. M Campbell in a talk last
week before the quarterly staff con-
ference of Extension Service, u. S.
Department of Agriculture.
'Eoncouraging increased owner
ship of family-sized Arms" said
Campbell, is one of the longtime
detectives of most of our farm and
home demonstration agents. They
are fully aware that the prevailing
tenant system has been for long
| time one fthe most vexing prob
lens. However, l am pleased to re-
port" ne added, that under the
leadership and guidance of the
agents, much Improvement has been
made in the land tenure system.
For example, in recent months,
the agents throughout the South
have succeeded in helping colored
farmers acquire nearly 1000 acres
in family-sized farms ranging from
40 to 80 acres" Campbell said
He pointed to increased diversifi-
cation as another sign of progress.
Negro farmers are abandoning the
proverbial one-crop SYSTEM he as
serted In some sections, they have
gotten completely away from cot
ton production and have switched to
feed crops. livestock, poultry, small
fruits and vegetables"
The Improvements which are be-
ing made, Campbell said, could
come more rapidly, if there were
more farm and home agents to aid
the people. In some counties, he
said, one agent is trying to serve as
many as 5000 Negro farmers; and
other counties with sizeable num-
bers of Negro farmers have no col
ored agents at all.
Pointing to the wartime emer-
gency, the field agent expressed the
view that every farmer in the South
needs the full benefits of Extension
Service.
At present, there are close to 800
Negro farm and home demonstra-
ton agents and supervisors en-
ployed in the II Southern and Bor-
der States. Campbell was the first
Negro to be employed in the extern
sion program. He was appointed in
1906.
