Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Donaldsonville.-M. L. Wilson. prin-
cipal of the agricultural department Of
the Oak Grove State Agricultural High
School, at Hope Villa, recently took
his stoCkjudging class of bows to Baton
Rouge TO study at first hand the scien-
t!fic work being done at the State Ev-
pertinent Station. The boys visited
end inspected the dairy, the station
barns. the silo. the hog cholera serum
plant, examined the dairy and beef cat
tie, the hogs and poulty, and witnessed
the application of the tubercular test
to the dairy herd. The boys were SO
interested that they preferred staying
al the farm and judging cattle TO going
back to Baton Rouge for dinner.
Prof. Wilson states that the mem
bers of the boys corn and pig clubs
and the girls canning clubs in this
parish are doing excellent work, and
that some splendid results will be ac-
Complished this year. One bOv re-
ports a gain of over one pound per
day in weight Of his pig. The cabbase
raised on. the soak Grove School farm
is bringing 10 cents each on the mar.
ket and cents to merchants.

BRYAN TELLS Of
WILSON'S VIEWS
SECRETARY MEETS WITH CALL
FORNIA LEGISLATURE AND
ASKS CONSIDERATION.
PEOPLE WANT ALIEN LAW
Statesman Teeis Law Makers That
They Have Fight to Pass Measure
but Suggests Alterations.

Western Newspaper Tr.on News Service
Sacramento, CalifOrnia.-CaiifOrnia
in the fullness of her right as a state
may enacC rigid land law barring ORR
entails from ownership, but such ac-
tion would be against the earnest wish
of the national administration.
This is the substance OF the mes.
sage William J. Bryan, secretary OF
state and personal represen; ative of
President Wilson delivered to a secret
conference attended only by Governor
Johnson, Lieutenant Governor Wallace
and 120 members of the California
legislature
With Secretary Bryan's consent
plans were laid for an immediate hear
ing. Until the doors of the assembly
chamber were closed and locked, Sec
retary Bryan refused to give an ink
ling of his message to any one and
even at the conference he spoke only
after legislators had explained fully
the public demand for alien land legis
laticn that brought about the present
situation.
Those who expected Secretary Bry-
an TO eXpound a new theory of states
rights were disappointed, as were
those who expected predictions of war
Advice in the name of President VIII
son was all Mr.. Bryan had to offer.
and the paramount question here is
whether such advice will overcome the
previously announced determination of
the Progressive Republican majority
to enact an anti-alien land holding
law along lines already agreed upon.
Secretary Bryan reaffirmed the
states right 10 act in a manner it saw
fit but suggested several alternatives
TO the passage of a bill restricting
aliens "inelligible to citizenship" bas.
ing his reasons on the broad founda-
/ tiCn of public policy. Briefly these al
| ternatlves in the order in which they
were suggested are as follows:
First. Delay immediate action and
allow the state department to try 10
accomplish the ends desired by means
of a new treaty with Japan.
Second. Delay immediate action and
| appoint a commission to investigate
| the subject of alien land ownership
and act in conjunction with the presi
dent in securing relief.
Third Enact a law similar to the
statute of Illinois, which permits alien:
to hold land for period not exceed
ing six years and applies alike to al
| aliens.
Fourth. Enact a law similar to the
federal statute gevorning land own
ership in the District of Columbia
which is a general, law applying tc
! all aliens.
