MR.. BRYAN.

There is much comment for and
AGAINST Mr.. Bryan as a political asset
n the administration. Many look up
on him as a necessity, while a great
many others think that political cir
cnmstances forced him on Mr.. Will
con and his administration. There
never was a man in public life who
was not criticized. Mr.. Bryan has had
his share of criticism. 1t can not be
cold however that he has not withStood
This criticism in the most admirable
manner and every now and then his
bigness looms up in the country in
snite of occasional criticisms which
his enemies think will put an end
to his career.
That he is President Wilson's poll
tical chief goes without saying. He
has always been looked upon as a
peeress leader. In his relations to
the President he is a peerless lieuten-
ant as WELL That he and President
Wilson are devoted to personal friends
is almost certain. Mr.. Bryan knows
his position and understands his re-
lations. He has not sought honor and
praise for himself but has followed the
lead of the President and in this res
pect at least he has astonished Wash
ington. He is not so difficult to imam
age as some people seemed to have
thought he would be.
The following expression of Mr..
Bryan by President Wilson himself
cannot be misunderstood:
"Not only have Mr.. Bryan's char
acter, his justice, his sincerity, his
transparent integrity, his Christian
principle, made a deep impression up
on all with whom he has dealt; but
his tact in dealing with men of many
sorts, his capacity for business, his
mastery of the principles of each mat

with, have cleared away many diff

WHEN FARMERS READ
The United States department of

The United States department of
agriculture, in order to determine
the efficiency of the different forms
of agricultural education, made sur
vey in four dierent sections of the
United States, visiting 1898 farmers
in II states. The results of this inter
view showed that 1.5 of those Wis
tied take a farm paper; one in %
receives agricultural bulletins; one in
3.3 attends farmers institutes; one in
.6.5 belongs to some agricultural or
ganization; one in 14.5 writes to ag-
ricultural institutions for advice; one
in 1913 has farm books; one in II gets
personal instruction from demonstra-
ton agents.
1t is shown from these data that our
people are not yet making the proper
use of institutions and calling upon
men capable of improving their eff
cheney. But we are making rapid pro-
gress and soon it will be the exception
when men are found who do not use
the college of agriculture, the expert
ment station and the demonstration
agents of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
1t is gratifying to note that the
farm paper is read and its informa-
ton extensively used. In fact, the
farm paper stands at the head of the
list as useful agencies now being used
for education. This means that the
farm paper is a great factor for bet
ter farming, for progressive living
and for good citizenship. Where the
people make the paper, as is the case
with Farm and Ranch, it means that
it more nearly represents agricultural
development, agricultural progress
and agricultural ideals than any other
agency.
The farm paper that is clean, ele-
waiting, reliable and progressive is a
great factor in building the state and
nation. 1t disseminates the investiga-
tons of the experiment stations, as
sists the agricultural colleges to reach
the rural homes, and brings the work
of demonstration agents to the farms
of the managers. The young people
who read the paper are encouraged
and their desire for reading and writ
ing intensified. The rural schools are
benefited in that the pupils read the
farm paper, their parents use the pa
per to help build the schools and the
teachers are assisted with boys and
girls clubs.
The responsibility resting upon pub
fishers, editors and readers of the
| farm paper is too great to permit of
