DROUTH LOWERS NAVAJO CASTLE WASHINGTON DJ The National Na-tional Geographic Society reports that Navajo . Indians who live on the Navajo reservation in Arizona, Ari-zona, , New . Mexico and Utah, have had to dispose of large numbers of their livestock ,' because be-cause of the 1939 drouth, the wor3t in more than DO years. The- report points out .that " the 50,000 Navajos who .previously had grazed more than 1,000,000 sheep, goats, cattle and horses on their semi-arid land, were .forced to dispose .of large numbers of them when only, eight inches of rain fell on their land last year. Nearly 10,000 horses were disposed dis-posed of, as they consumed as much forage as five sheep. , ... V Social Standing Lost-- . I The -Navajo red man particularly particu-larly regretted giving- up . his horses, the society relates, as . a man's "social position" on the reservation is largely determined by whether he provides a mount for every man, woman and child in his household. Many lost their "blue book ratings" when forced to reduce the number ; of their Horses. Describing1 tribal life In normal, modern times the society observes that the braves do the plowing and look after ' the irrigation while the squaws plant' seed and weed the fields. 'Squash, melons and corn are grown in the valleys," val-leys," the report continues, while wheat, oats, potatoes and beans are grown on the mountain sides. "When sheep herding- .. proves less profitable because of drouth, as in 1939, the Navajos plant larger corn patches on their 45,-000 45,-000 acres of farming land. .Then because of an early frost, the corn is harvested green and . dried in the late summer sun, with the aid of the entire family." f Tribe lias 60 Clans- The report states that the Naj-vajos Naj-vajos are divided Into SO clans; held together by the relationship of the women. When an Indian marries, it is explained, he takes his herds over to the tribal area of his bride. " V , . Famous Navajo Indian rugs, the report concludes, bring a great dear of profit to-the trStsj Poslurc Parada Girls Salcofcd Tryouts for Provo high school participants in the girls' posture parade, annual event of the Brig-ham Brig-ham Young university invitational track meet, were held Wednesday in the boys' gymnasium at Provo high school.
