4 HISTORIC HIGHWAY LINKING BISMARCK AND YATES IS SEEN Federal Agencies and Histori- cal Society May Join Hands in Project Creation of an historic way or “Path of Empire,” linking sites famous in North Dakota history along the Mis- souri river from Bismarck and Man- dan south to Fort Yates was visioned Thursday by Thomas H. Moodie, state administrator of WPA, and Russell Reid, superintendent of the State His- torical society. First stop on the historic way would be Fort Lincoln State park from which Gen. George A. Custer began his fam- ous march to the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. A new museum is now being built on this site by the national parks service and the State Historical society, using CCC labor. WPA labor will be utilized for the other sites on the historic way. Reid and WPA officials inspected the WPA Huff Indian village mark- ing project now under way on the west bank of the Missouri river one- fourth mile south of the town of Huff on land owned by the historical so- ciety. It is said to have been one of]. the greatest Indian cities of the Man- dan type. Its population was about 1,200. The Indian village was sur- rounded by a palisade with military bastions enabling the defenders to shoot arrows along the walls. The site covers 12 acres. Village Is Fenced Not only the outer defenses but the sites of all lodges are readable to the trained eye. Fortunately, it had es- caped plowing, owing to its rough- ness, the result of its use as an Indian village. The village has now been completely fencéd and work has pro- gressed on a cairn on which the name and historical significance of the vil- lage will be recorded. “It is possible.” Reid said, “that a miniature model of the village, done in cement, may be made in order that visitors may gain an exact idea of what this large Indian village looked | like 200 or more years ago. Other sites on the “historic way” ‘would be Fort Rice and Cannonball, the way ending at Fort Yates where @ splendid cairn or other monument. to Sitting Bull is to be erected. Favors Objective Monument “North Dakota does not realize that the name of Sitting Bull is almost as well known to every school child in the United States as it is to the chil- dren of this state,” Moodie said Thursday. “Despite Sitting Bull's great fame, the last resting place of this greatest soldier of the plains now lies in considerable disrepair and neglect at Fort Yates. It would be most fitting to have a great monu- ment there as the objective point in this historic way and path of empire.” It was pointed out that the historic interest in this route is enhanced by} the fact that it skirts throughout its length the shores of the Missouri river up which came the first voy- ageurs and travelers, including Lewis and Clark, when the white man first entered the Dakota territory. FARM WINDBREAKS WILL BE ENLARGED Expansion of Tree Planting Ac- tivities of State to Be Pushed by Freeman A Farm tree planting work in North Dakota, a project which under the lo- tal supervision of county agricultural egents has resulted in the establish- tment of thousands of windbreaks throughout the state the past few years, will be expanded wherever pos- sible under plans being developed by Victor V. Freeman, now in general charge of the windbreak demonstra- tion program for the NDAC extension service and the State Forestry school. Freeman, who took over the exten- sion service forestry post in July, suc- ceeded D. D. Baldwin, forester since 1934. Baldwin recently accepted a po- sition vith the soil conservation serv- ice of the federal government. Keen interest has been shown by farmers in the improvement of their Places with trees in connection with the shelterbelt program. Under the plan followed in the project, a limited number of farms annually are pro- vided with shelterbelt trees furnished at a nominal price by the state nurs- ery. Certain management and culti- vation requirements are specified, these being designed to insure suc- cessful establishment of the trees. Plantings thus started are then used ‘by the county agricultural agents to demonstrate to other interested farm- ers the best methods of tree culture. In 1936 more than 400,000 trees were the University of Montana and the versity of Minnesota.

The meter, donated by Frank Wil- cox, Bismarck pioneer settler, was strapped to the hub of the wheel and recorded every revolution, Reid said.

By Aug. 1 thousands of head of live- stock, mainly ewes and lambs, had been shifted as a result of work done by county agricultural agents and ex- tension representatives. Most of the | stock is going in to the northeast coun- ties and into the Red River valley. Feed 14,000 in Eddy In_Eddy county alone, according to H. G. Lewis, supervisor of extension work for the northeast counties, ap- proximately 14,000 head of breeding ewes and lambs have been brought ffom the southwest drouth area and Correspond- ingly large numbers have been moved to several other counties inthe north- east part of the state. From Bowm4n county more than 10,000 ewes and lambs have been moved to points within North Dakota where farmers have the feed to handle them, G. N. Geissler, county agent, re- ported. Movement of the livestock within the state has proved of mutual ad- vantage both to farmers who must sell and to farmers in a position to} buy. Special in transit freight rates extended by the railroads have facili- tated the undertaking, N. D. Gor- man, state county agent leader, said. As another phase of its drouth ai tivities, the extension service has com: piled a list of farmers having surplus feed. The list, prepared for each county by the county agricultural agent, has been submitted to coun- ties in the drouth territory as a guide to farmers who may be attempting to locate feed. Likewise similar lists of farmers having livestock to sell and of farmers who wish to buy livestock have been made up and are being cir- culated in the areas concerned. A complete report on the progress made so far in the movement of live- stock and the focation of feed is now being prepared and will be issued by the extension service soon, Gorman indicated.
