Another matter which has been adopted at this agency is that of assistance being given in prenatal cases. Each child, upon request of the mother, receives a baby shirt, bands, and baby blanket, also a supply of outing flannel and diaper cloth. Old Indian women are issued gingham and outing flannel and under the jurisdiction of a field nurse, canned fruit, dried milk, canned_tomatoes, and corn have been issued in cases where the health of the Indian required it.

As a matter of general recommendation it is respectfully suggested that our present methods be continued with the industrial activity being centered largely upon the cattle inndustry with an appropriation each year from proceeds of sale of tribal cattle for the purchase of range bulls, approximately for the next year or so $15,000 annually. No new areas will be required for at least four or five years and present permits are recommended to be continued. Dourine work among the horses, which acts as both a means of eradication of the disease and removal of the worthless horses, should be given first consideration as a matter of congressional appropriation. It is understood that funds have been appropriated for this purpose this year, the work to be carried on in connection and in cooperation with the Bureau of Animal Industry.

I might add in commenting on our success in cattle administration, which is our largest industry, quoting Dr. W. J. Speelman, member of Survey of Indian Affairs under date of July 12, 1927, in which he states: "I am happy that I shall have to commend your methods highly. I can do that without saying anything that is not richly deserved."

Under recent and proper Indian Office recommendations the grazing and water development problem of Indian range will be under direction of our forest department officials. This is an excellent change, placing these matters of forage usage and water development in the hands of trained foresters. Under this system a plan of water details will be carried out. Agricultural work will of necessity be limited to small acreage and is taken care of under recent organization plans of the Indian Office by field extension agent. This is a most ideal arrangement, placing the intensive agriculture system under trained management and control. Under this system meetings are being held within the agency in each district receiving the personal attention of the extension agent. I know of no recommendations regarding these activities other than the allowance of $15,000 annually in our appropriation or from tribal herds for the upkeep of the bull herd.

Our medical department seems to be efficient and of sufficient equipment and personnel. I believe that under our present plans we have a splendidly equipped hospital and field organization.

Under our education work the new auditorium has added materially to the appearance and administration. It permits the use of six excellent classrooms with cross ventilation and ample space and a splendid auditorium for aggregate instruction and recreation. Recommendations have been made for an additional building of primary nature which would permit the segregation of primary teaching from the higher grades and give us additional space for this class of work. This building would cost approximately $12,500 and consist of four classrooms and a primary-demonstration room. Under recent allotments of the Indian office, due to increased appropriations of Congress, excellent equipment has been placed in the school buildings. All beds and mattresses are new, all tables and chairs in the dining room are new. New classroom desks have been ordered for the classroom building, considerable equipment or labor-saving devices have been purchased, including three steam cookers, one steam coffee urn, electric dishwashing machine, electric potato peeler, electric food chopper, electric dough mixer, and electric ice-cream freezer. These have all added materially to the preparation of proper diet and the elimination of a large amount of labor in the kitchen. Recently purchased, but not installed, is electric equipment for the laundry. With the acquisition of certain employees noted in school, I know of no recommendations in educational activities.
