Agricultural fairs have been held in recent years at twenty or more Indian agencies, arousing much local interest, and an increasing number of Indian farmers are taking part in county and state fairs. In several of the Northwestern States the value of the timber on Indian lands is enormous; the latest official estimate is eighty-four million dollars.
