The livestock team composed of Wilmer Harshman. Robert Schlich temeier and Malom Pollard, all first year students, won first among ,",5 other teams or 105 boys compet ing. Such a showing truly indicates that the boys have the true sheep ideal pretty well in mind. The same team took fifth in the state in judg ing horses. Those two classes of stock are the hardest to judge of any and clearly shows the training of the boys. Willard Sncf took fourth in the State forge contest which was very hard. Had he a little more experi ence in state contests, it is thought he would have placed runnerup. Individual ribbons were won also. Robert Schlichtemeier took sixth in Future Farmers Speaking Contest. He also won tenth in sheep judg ing. WiLliard Snef took eighth in judging Ayrshire?: Martin Jorgen sen. seventh in judging Guernseys and Wilmer Harshman seventh in judging horses.

It was there at Mead that Mr. Dorr's team defeated "Waverly in livestock judging, but Waverly came back to win first in the Lincoln contest. Wtih more contest experience, greater confidence, more training and more age. next year the boys should make an even better showing. Mr. Dorr hopes to have more boys to work with next year and hopes to increase the enrollment of the Agricultural department. Xehawka Enterprise.

The plan i.s quite similar to 4-H clubs, except that each member undertakes a more exten- jsive project and studies more about aor ! farm and home management, until!

Wisconsin 4-H club leaders have encouraged rural dramatics as a side line ot 4-H club activities. The plan meets with the wide approval and the only dangerous feature of it Is that people will try so hard to win contests they will forget the purpose, which is to develop ability to enter tain themselves among the boys and girls. Leaders of home demonstration work in the corn belt states should think more about features of their projects which lend themselves to news stories and attract public at tention, George E. Farrell of the Washington extension office told these leaders Thursday morning. Speaking of the standards of living on the farm, he said these standards will either lower in the next few years or there will be a desperate at tempt on the part of the farm people to make things meet and make the farm produce a high standard of fam ily life.

Apparently resigned to the hope LlSflM&esa of their predicament, em bers trudged through the halls and toward their hotel rooms singiug ' Oh, we're going home, we're going home.'' The move to adjourn sine die or iginated in the senate a few mil, after the house voted 60 to 34 to re ject the majority conference report j which slashed 575 thousand dollars off the senate bill by eliminating I several new buildings for state in- 1 stitutions. Biyan Offered to Add $385,000. Governor Bryan's proposal adding approximately 385 thousand dollars to his original budget, which was contained in a minority report lied by Emil Anderson of Miuden, had alco been rejected by a vote of 5 4 to 34. Senators Reed, McGowan, Neuman, Frush and Lieutenant Governor tfet-calfe- held an informal conference outside the senate chamber and de cided on immediate adjournment Sat urday whether a bill is passed or not. The house and senate committee on adjournment was hurriedly called together and a report fixing 3 p. m. Saturday as the hour was rushed in to the house before it adjourned for the day. There still remained the possibil ity of a new report being brought in containing changes capable of bring ing about an agreement, but gener erally the chances were considered remote. Chairman A. W. Sprick said he weuld attempt to bring in a new report Saturday. Other members of the house committee are Jones, Scottsbluff. and Rohlff, Omaha. Fixing the hour of adjournment will not forestall consideration of a new report. Both houses may con tinue their labors by merely stopping the clock when the hour arrives. World-Kerald.
