Pullman, Wash., Friday, December 8, 191 1 The Indian M a Citizen. According to the superintendent of the Carlisle Indian School, the American Indian is finding himself and Is taking his proper place with the white man as a good citizen, true patriot and self-respecting and self supporting workman find Christian. This is true of the Indians who have not been pauperized by misdirect ed government bounty and by sham philantrophy, administered by igno rant faddists elected to pose as friends to the Indian. The best In dians are those for whom the least has been done, and who, consequent ly, have done most for themselves. The American Indian does not dif-' fer to any remarkable extent rom ; men of any other race. When com-] pelled to do it by necessity, he will learn to change his habit of life and adapt himself to new environment and new conditions fairly well. The trouble has been, in the treatment of the Indian in the past, there has been altogether too much made of the idea that the Indian is the ward of the nation. He has been given great reservations, large annuities in mon ey, rations when needed, and gen erally trained to the idea that it was the duty of the government to sup port him in idleness. When dissat isfied he took to the war-path and when brought back to the reserva tion was more tenderly treated in the future for fear that he would break out again. No people of any race in the world could have stood such deliberate pauperizing treatment and emerged from It any better than the Indian did. Under a more sensible policy they are showing their real capabil ities. If the Indians had been put from the start squarely on the plane with other people, compelled to work or starve, receiving nothing that they did not earn, they would have merg ed readily in the population within a single generation. Metlakatlah, Alaska, is an object i lesson of how readily the Indians can . be trained into the paths of civilization 1 with no money aid and nothing save : guidance and instruction. There is i as decent, orderly, self-respecting, in dustrious and thrifty a community , as can be found anywhere, and the Indians did it all for themselves, un- > der the guidance of one white man who devoted his life to their inter ests.—Seattle P. I. Will Visit in Texas. A. M. Hays, accompanied by his wife and two children, will leave Sat urday for Bridgeport, Texas, to spend several months with his sons. Mr. Hays recently disposed of his farm machinery, etc., at public auction and rented his farm near this city, to enable him to take a much need ed rest for a few months. He knows the value of a Pullman farm, how ever, and states that there is not enough money in circulation to buy the farm from him. He is a booster in every sense of the word and it's dollars to doughnuts that before he returns to Pullman he will have in duced gome of theTexans to cast their lot in the country where a crop failure is unknown and where dol ors grow on wheat stems. AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION' WORK What Is Is and What It Should Become. (R. C. Ashhy, in Washington Agri culturist.) Agricultural extension in Wash ington has been conducted in three principal forms: Farmers' institutes, agricultural demonstration trains, and demonstration farms. During the year which closed June 30th, the institutes and trains brought the call of practical, intensive agriculture to more than 50,000 of our people. The I demonstration farms carried a silent hut certain message to a dozen dif ferent and separate communities. The work has received the hearty endorsement and ready appreciation of all parts of the state, while the ; demand for it is increasing steadily. .To satisfy these demands more and better work must be done. During the coming season farmers' institutes will continue to be held wherever the farmers want them. This means wherever communities are progressive and trying to im prove agricultural methods. At the present time a strong series of meet ings are being arranged through the Walla Walla country. Later, it is planned to hold Institutes through out the Big Bend section, and a third series is to be conducted in north western Washington during the win ter. In late February or March the center of institute operations will be transferred to the Yakima val ley. In some sections there is a lack of co-operation on the part of the local communities. The farmers do not seem to realize that the institute is a state institution, and as such, conducted for the benefit of every one. Occasionally we find a com munity in which there is more or less local jealousy or partisanship of var ious sorts. There, if one organiza tion takes charge of the arrange ments for the farmers' institute, those who are not members refuse to as sist in making the meeting success ful. The most satisfactory arrange ment would be a local institute or- ganization in every community. At Enumclaw for instance, the farmers have an institute association, which includes members of other farmers' organizations. This association has a director in each community, and when an institute is scheduled these* men take charge of all arrange ments. They do everything on time and in the right way. For this reason Enumclaw is one of the best institute points in the state . We must remember that the institute is public property and conducted for the public good; j As such, it is to the advantage of every farmer, every farmers' organization, and every com mercial club to bring as many peo ple as possible in contact with the •work. The institute programs thiß year will include practically all the following subjects: Soil, soil culti vation, dairying, horticulture, j live stock, good roads, poultry, veterin ary and farm management. Domes tic science and home economics will be included whenever possible, but only a small amount of work In this line can be offered this year. , If the railroad companys will co operate, tne college plans to send demonstration trains throughout a large part of the state during the coming season. This work will be made of the greatest possible value and all equipment carried will be chosen for its proven usefulness. The demonstration farm work is being continued and its scope en larged as facilities allow. This type of work has proven Its value in all sections of the country. One recent development in this line is the no ticeable tendency on the part of sev eral counties to use their county farms for demonstration purposes. In every instance this has resulted in increased production from the farm itself, and instead of being a source of expense to the county, the farm usually becomes sources of rev enue. In a few Instances the county farm is being used as a demonstra- tion farm and at the same time con ducted in connection with the local school, thus offering splendid facili ties for practical agricultural high school work. For the first time we are now un dertaking extension short courses. At Lynden December 11th to 16th, there will be offered a week's course in dairying, soils, poultry and home home economics. At Cashmere, De cember 18th'to 23rd, a six weeks' course In horticulture, poultry and home economics. Registration is already large in both these schools and Interest In them is keen. It is possible that a third course may be given at Snohomish. The two schools already scheduled are made possible by the interest and enthu siasm of their local committees. The ablest Instructors on the college staff will have charge of the work, and detailed programs are now being is sred. The greatest handicap in the exten sion field at the present time is the lack of experienced workers. The money available for this work is not sufficient to keep a separate staff em ployed throughout the year, and con sequently a large part of the work must be done by the regular college men. This works a hardship in two ways. First, only a limited amount of work can be undertaken, and, second, the college men are fre quently asked to sacrifice their own time in order to do outside work. Just at present there is before con gress a bill which proposes to ap propriate to each state the sum of $15,000 annually for the support of extension work. This bill is known as H. B. No. 11,542. It should re ceive strong support. The real purpose of the agricultu ral extension movement is to bring directly to the farms of the state the services of the agricultural col lege. To accomplish the amount of work desired at the present time re quires increased support, both from the state and from the federal gov ernment, and those who have care fully studied the question do not doubt that this will be furnished. The entire purpose of the work is in cluded in the term "Agricultural Ex tension Service." COACH OSTHOFF CHOOSES ALL-STARS Given U. of XV. Six Players on Paper Team. Entire Backfield From That Institution. Quarterback anr captain— Coyle, University of Washington. Right Half— Mucklestone, Univer sity of Washington. Left Half —Wand, University of Washington. Fullback—Sparger, University of Washington. Left End —Grimm, University of Washington, Left Tackleßailey, University of Oregon. Left Guard—Joe Harter, State College of Washington. Center —George Harter, State Col lege of Washington. Right Guard —Kellog, University of Oregon. Right Tackle —Laird, State Col lege of Washington. Right end — Sutton, University of Washington. All northwest team chosen by Coach Osthoff. I chose the entire back field of the University of Washington for their speed, hitting ability and abil ity to pick holes. These requirements are necessary to the back field of any good team. In Coyle, Sparger, Muckelstone and Wand, Washington has a back field that cannot be du plicated in the northwest. Coyle can i do the kicking, and Sparger has it . all over Niles in plunging ability and , general all around back field work. . Wand may not seem like an aggres . sive player or prove to be as spectac -1 ular as Main has been, but let some ; one try to stop him when he is going i I through the line. Man for man, this is the best combination of back field . men in the entire northwest. Niles has played but a part of the season, and I believe that an all star team should be composed of men who are whole-seasoned men. This In anoth er reason why I choose Sparger over Niles. Coyle, for his genelarshlp and experience, is easily the choice for captain and quarterback. At ends. Grimm and Sutton of Washington are the best pair of ends in the conference. Grimm is the best man in the northwest in receiving the forward pass. Sutton is an old head, and despite the fact that he did not play the last game against XV. S. C. on Thanksgiving, I believe that outside of Grimm, he is the best man at his position. Laird, State College, and Bailey, Oregon, have the edge on the tackle positions. While there is great im provement that could be had by these two men they are the best in the con ference. Neither man is as versatile or as quick In solving plays as a real good tackle ought to be, and both could improve on following the ball. Still, they are the best in this part of the country. Joe Harter, W. S. C, and Kellogg, University of Oregon, are given the guard positions. No man has it on Harter and Joe always takes care of himself on offense. Kellogg is switch ed from center to guard, as he is a man who belongs on an all star ag gregation. Still, he does not compare with George Harter. George has the right build for a center in the new game—it enables him to spill a great number of plays before the opposing team gets them away.
