The president talked today with Congressman Dixon of Montana , ir Martin of South Dakota in regard to the opening to settlement of the u Crow and Rosebud Indian reser vations in Montana and South Dakota si kota , respectively. The presi dent's views as to the value , of these lands will result in a renova tion of the prices fixed in the bills tc authorizing the opening to settle ment of portions of the reserva tions. The Crow reservation bill fixed 83 an acre as the price to be paid for lands that could be irri- w gated. This will be increased to . Stt , and the other lands will be placed in the hands of the secre tary of the interior to be disposed of , and under such circumstances 0) ) as he sees fit.

T. The editor has been down in the Territory and knows that there is lots of good soil down there and that vegetation is unex celled in some parts , but here's the place to live. Tests of a new variety of oats are reported in Bulltin No. S2 of the Nebraska Experiment Station. These oats were imported by the station from Russia in 1SOT , and are called Kherson oats. The va riety orignated in the Kherson government in southern Russia. The climatic conditions of that reg ion are not such as arc favorable to the production of oats. The av erage yearly rainfall is only 10 in ches , and the summers arc ex tremely hot. The Kherson oat is a vigorous but not a rank grower. The straw is very short ; the leaver are broad and expose a large surface. The berries are light yellow in col- 9r , small but numerous , and have i very thin hulj. They mature very early. X This variety is peculiar ! . suited to central and western Nebraska 3n account of its habits of growth. In the spring of 1901 seed of Kherson oats was sent out to a number of persons in varions parts > f the state to test. Two bushels D | oa s were sent to each experi- nenter and he was asked to thresh . ihe crop separately and to report. , he results. This was repeated in L902 and 1903 as more seed became ivailable. The results of the three rears' tests are given in the bulle- in. These show it to be peculiar ? y suited to central and western Nebraska. Although itusually fields well in eastern Nebraska , .here are other varieties that in he river counties , at least , com pare favorably with it. AYest of ihat , the tests that have been made f it during the three years , indi- ate that it is earlier , yields bct- er ( and weighs heavier than any ther variety , with the possible exception of the Texas Red. It ms steadily outyielded the Texas Red on the Station farm. T. L. LYOX.
