Leonard H. Healey, secretary of tre state board of agriculture, expressed the opinion, Tuesday afternoonm, that there was a bright future for the cat- tle' trade of Connecticut if developed ulong businéss lines. He sald there ‘were a half dozen farmers in the statu|. engaged in the raising of and their experience made. it clear. that the business was profitable. 'The lare- est herd consisted of 50 animals and the margin of profit on each animal was enco 3 Secretary” Healey thought, however, that the farmers who engaged in the cattle raising business should form co-operative societies for the parpose of slaughtering the s and mar- keting the dressed beef, He said five or six cattle men could “have their own butcher and their*own slaughtar house and refrigerators, and in that way save the profit of the middle- man for themselves. The gloomy view taken by some eople of the future of agriculture in B nnasticit ‘was not shared by Secre Healey. He has faith in the fer- tlity of the soil of the state and in its adaptability for’ general agricul- tural purposes. There was a great deal of grazing land which was not used for the purpose for which it was in- tended. It was stated some time aso by an authority on- agricultural at- fairs in this state that during the past 30 years thousands of &cres of land in Connecticut had gone out of cultiva- tion and were now in disuse. The land was admirably adapted for grazirg purposes, FAVORABLE RESUL.TS FROM HELPING THE INDIANS Reports Made at Meeting of Norwich Indian Association. ! A meeting of thé Norwich Indian }association -was held on Thursday } morning and conducted by the presi- dent, Mrs, F. E. Dowe. After the us- ual reports, plans were made to hold a public meeting later this month at jwhich R, B. Hall should be present and give an illustrated lecture on the . M. C. A-work he is doing among our Indian ‘neighbors. 1 The death of Susan La Flesche was noted, whom many in this city knew as a skilful Indian woman physician of the Omaha tribe for whom she éstablished a hospital. Letters from an Indian student at Hampton, Va., and another at Springfield, Mass., were of interest. The report of the Indian bureau, de- partment of the interior, showed the health campaign which the government is making special efforts to carry out. Six new hospitals have been opened. In the educational line vocational training is being emphasized and agri- culture and domestic science encour- aged. BEverything possible is being done to -encourage industry by loans, purchasés of livestock, the introduc- tion of a new kind of cotton, better irrigation, inventory -of timber lands, new regulations of oil and gas lands and improved school facilities. That this plan of work pays, was shown by the progress of the Utes since they have become interested in farm work and are taking up the for- mer waste lands in the Pine River Valley. . This -once hopeless -tribe is now on. the road towards self-sup- port and usefulness. Instead of wast- ing their money on _trifles and worse, they are now putting it on deposit for futyre needs and 22 new Indians have joined the other farmers.
