A missionary who was making
his way through backwoods re-

upon religious talk and finally
asked her if she didn't know there
was a day of Judgment coming.

OFFERS FARM COURSE.

The college of agriculture OF
the University of Missouri has ar.
ranged to give branch short
courses this winter for the farm
ers who are unable to attend the
university. These courses art
given at any place in Missouri
where the local interest is suffi
cient to insure a good attendance
and a successful course.
During the winter of 1911-1912
eleven such courses were held in
the following counties: Clark
Grundy, Harrison, Lewis, Lincoln
Macon, Newton, Nodaway, Pettis
Pike and st. Charles. Eight hun.
dred and sixty-two farmers re.
ceived the benefit of these courses
This year the university desires tC
extend the work over the entire
state. A large number of appli.
cations for information regarding
branch short courses is expected
by the College of Agriculture at
Columbia, Missouri.

ALFALFA IN THE OZARKS.

On the gravelly soils of the
Ozark border alfalfa has shown it.
self to be particularly well adap-
ted. There appears no reason why
it may not be grown with equal
success over the whole of this
Ozark border and on much of the
Ozark plateau. In This event, land
that may be bought now at from
$40 to $40 an acre may be made
as productive and valuable as
land that in other states is selling
at from $50 to 500 an acre. The
possibilities of alfalfa growing are
just beginning to be appreciated.
Greater opportunity exists for
profitable investments in agricul-
tural lands adapted to this crop
and other grasses and forage
plants than in any other direction.
In most countries where alfalfa
succeeds, corn is not success,
and either the alfalfa must be
shipped to the corn or the corn
brought to the alfalfa. In Mis-
souri,, both Of these crops have
been grown on the same farm.
When fine grass pastures are add
ed, the ideal conditions for sue
cessful stock raising are realized.

FAULTS OF DIRECT PRIMARY

The truth is that the direct prl-
mary has serious faults. Chiefly
these are the plurality election.
too often resulting in minority
control, expense, and a steadily
increasing lack of interest in the
primary elections by the voter.
The partisan clamor, long contin-
ued. generally merely personal,
operates to dull the voters inter
est, disgust him with the whole
affair and cause him to absent
himself from the polls.
Naturally it was in the cities,
with their keen and varied con.
tests, large fields of contestants.
and great interests at stake, that
the faults of the direct-primary
system were first most clearly eX-
posed, and from the American
city rst came the demand for an
effective corrective. In the adop'
ton of the preferential system of
voting a great many thinkers be-
Iieve that a long step toward the
final solution of the problem of
an ideal electoral method has been
taken.- From "Direct Primary
and the Preferential Method" by
Karl A. Bickel, in the American
Review of Reviews for November,
