STATE PRIMARY LAW
HAS HIGH BACKING
President and Secretary
Bryan Send FeIicitous Let
tiers to Senator Kern.

Letters from President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan indors,ng the movement
for a statewide primary law in Indiana
were made public today by Senator Kern.
The subject will come up at the Indiana
democratic convention, of which Sena-
tor Kern IS to be permanent chairman.
Both letters referred to published inter-
view with the senator lately on that sub
ject
President Wilson wrote:
II have noticed with unusual interest
your interview the other day about the
absence of law for statewide primar-
les in Indiana. 1 was very much sur
prised to learn that so great and vide
awake state was so far behind the pro-
cession in a matter of such capital I'M
portance, and 1 want to express my deep
interest in your efforts to bring aoout
the necessary legislation. 1t would
hearten democrats everywhere to see
this done by Indiana.
Compliment for Kern.
1T is remarkable that you would have
time and energy to devote to matters
Of state policy. deeply important as
they are, in the midst of your work
as chairman Of the Senate caucus l am
sure all democrats are indebted to you
for the intelligence and conscience you
have put into that great task"
Secretary Bryan wrote:
Before you start for the state con-
vention / desire to thank you for CIV
Ing out the interview which you did the
other day. ! feel personal interest In
what your convention does, because
/ have spoken in Indiana more than in
any other state outside of Nebraska
and one cannot be as well acquainted as
am with your Indiana democrats
without feeling an attachment for them
and taking a pride in what they do. l
earnestly hope that your state conven-
ton will declare for a statewide prf-
mary election law. The primary has
become settled practice in almost all
the states and is destined to be the
settled practices of all states.
For Initiation and Referendum.
And the same may be said in regard
to the initiative and referendum-the two
reforms generally going together. De
cause the same principle underlies both.
! do not see how any objection can be
raised to the initiative and referendum;
II the people have not only the right to
govern themselves, but the ca,,acty to
do so, they should be in position to CO.
cree their representatives into opedlence

THE Presidents Endorsement OF the
Initiative and referendum ought to help
YOU in the fight for these REFORMS, for he
has time to demonstrate his devotion to
the best and highest interests of the
party, and the approval which he has
won ought to strengthen these reforms.

Farmers Cooperate With Department
After his farm has been inspected by

the society follows out the suggestions
of the experts (although he is not in
any way bound to carry out these sug-
gested changes) he becomes a coop
orator. The majority of the co-opera-
tors adhere strictly to the advice of
the department.
Each year the department selects
the best cooperative farm In each
county and makes 1t a demonstration
farm which conducts local experiment
al work under the direction OF the ex-
perts. In the case OF the demonstra-
tion farm, the department assumes the

Farmers from all parts of the coun-

pealed to the department for aid.
A representative visited the farm
and found it apparently In good condi-
ton. supplied with good buildings, and
annually yielding bumper crops of
grain and roughage. 80 bushels of
wheat, so bushels of corn and two tons
of hay to the acre.
1t was a different story, however
when the expert examined the live
stock. The dairy cows were scrubs of
the worst variety, with staring coats
and every rib showing, and with I'D
ders not larger than mans two fists.
The swine and horses we're also in
ferior specimens of twentieth century
live stock. while the supply of farm
machinery was in no sense modern and
efficient Here was a case of a coun-
tryman who was exerting all his ener-
gies toward the production of profit
able crops. only to feed them to un-
profitable live stock.
From IL cows he obtained only
enough milk to supply the need of his
family of six persons The department
showed him where the leak was. and
explained to him how he could har-
monize all his operations and render
his farm more fertile and profitable by
maintaining better live stock. He ac-
ceded to their advice and today is

Farmers Take Kindly to the Plan.
The popularity of this movement to
rejuvenete sick farms increased to
such an extent that a year ago the de-
partment organized the Missouri Farm
Management association, the pioneer
society OF its character in America, the
members being recruited from among
the ranks OF the owners OF Improbable
farms who desired to nurse all the OPP
erations on their acreagee back to a
wage-earning condition.
The object OF this association was
to organize and combine the farmers
of Missouri who were interested in
practical system OF farm management.
It aided the department In so much as
the countrymen who needed and want
ed help were centralized In the organi-
xation, while It aided the farmers in SO
far as the department experts prom
ised to visit and replan each place in
turn. Two hundred earnestly interested
farmers Joined the society the first
year, while at present the enrolment
is double that number. Each country
man pays s1.25 membership fee-the
