Washington dispatches late Friday indicated there Is yet hope that a Nebraska man may be appointed to the vacancy on the Eighth circcit court of appeals bench. The senate judiciary committee failed to consider any of a number of nominations made earlier Friday by President Coolidge, among them that of Archibald K. Gardner of Huron, S. D., for the Eighth circuit vacancy. Senator Norris of Nebraska said he did not believe confirmation was possible before adjournment Satur day. If not acted upon by then, the nominations die and Herbert Hoover will fill the posts. The circuit court vacancy is the position which the Omaha bar favor ed for United States District Judge T. C. Munger of Lincoln, and regard ing which J. C. Kinsler, United States district attorney in Omaha, made a trip to Washington. Senator Norris expressed surprise that President Coolidge "would wait until this late hour" to send up the important judgeship nominations. The vacancy on the circuit bench for the Eighth district was created by a division of the Eighth circuit and moved one judge from the Eighth circuit into the new Tenth. The Omaha Bar association Thurs day went on record unanimously as favoring Judge Munger for the position. Under the new districting plan. Omaha, St. Louis and Minneapolis will be sitting places for the high court. The Associated Press says also that President Coolidge nominated two for vacancies in the new Tenth cir cuit, George T. McDermott of Kansas, and Orie L. Phillips of New Mexico. 14 ! t . InMHuM For hornet with mlct trieity, thm Maitof to available with olt&rtm motor. .

County Agent's Club Program Last year's figures on boys and girls' club work again show the value of a county extension agent in com pleting a real 4-H club program in the county, according to tne summary of 1928 recently made at the Agri cultural college extension service of fice. Three out of four who started club work in 1928 finished their projects in counties where agents were em nloved. One-half of those who start ed in the other counties completed their work. Failing to finish wnat thev started is a bad habit for boys and girls to get into, club leaders believe. Durine the course of the year. however, a few members will move, some will lose their animals or have other misfortunes, and sickness may make it hard for others. It win probably never be possible to finish up 100 per cent of the club members enrolled, although several county agents completed more than 90 per cent of their boys' and girls' pro ject last year. Not only did county extension ;i cents keen the hovs and girls on the job, but they also started a great er proportion of the young ioiks m clubs in 1928.

Agricultural Outlook The Nebraska agricultural outlook for 1929 is brighter than it was a year ago, Harold Hedges of the rural economics department of the Nebras ka college of agriculture told the farmers, bankers and other business men gathered at the first outlook meeting at the agricultural college Monday morning. "Income from hogs should be greater in 1929 than it was in 1928, and prospects for receipts from cat tle, dairy production and poultry are as favorable as they were a year ago. Nearly all the wheat went into the winter in good condition. The corn crop will depend upon the way the spring opens up and the succeed ing season. "Soil is in better condition than it was a year ago, but the yields of 1929 crops will Yfe again dependent to a great extent on seasonable rain fall. It will be recalled that the sub soil was dry a year ago, so the lack of rainfall in some sections in 1928 caused a partial crop failure. "It is impossible to forecast defi nitely the returns from crps and live stock a year in advance," Mr. Hedges states emphatically in his report. 'but enough economic Information is available to give a very good in dication of probable conditions that will prevail during the year when the farmer markets his crops. HOLD FINE MEETING Questions Regarding- Agri. Outlook "There are four questions regard ner the agricultural outlook to con sider in adapting the 1929 agricul tural outlook to individual tarms in Nebraska," Prof. II. C. Filley, chair man of the rural economics depart ment, said in his talk Monday af ternoon at the outlook meeting at the agricultural college in Lincoln. The first of these questions is, "What can I produce?" The second is, "Of the things I can produce, for which ones will there be a good mar ket?" The third question is, "Is this farm better adapted than other farms to produce certain crops for which there will be a good market?" The fourth question is, "Considering these things, how can I keep busy at prof itable work throughout the year?"
