An effort is being made in the west
ern part OF the state to introduce
Moravian barley in Nevada, This
barley has been thoroughly tested in
California and has proven much bet
ter than the Chevalier, the kind in
general use. 1t ripeus earlier, the
yield is much heavier, the quality is
said to be much better and it thrives
better in dry countries. 1t is esti-
mated that its yield is at least twenty
per cent greater than the standard
kind.

COMMITTEE WILL
 MEET AUGUST 1S
WILL PASS UPON NOMINATIONS FOR JUDICIAL POSITIONS IN JEFFERSON coUNTY-EFFoRT TO DECLARE NOMINATIONS.

The democratic executive committee of Jefferson county has been called to meet by Chairman Thompson on August 1S. This meeting of the committee is made necessary by the decision of the supreme court knocking out the consolidated court bill.
 This bill provided for the consolidation of all the courts of the county with a senior judge and six associate judges. five of the seven to be elected at the general election next November. Acting under the consolidated court act the five nomina- tions have already been made. but since the court Is to be continued as was con- stituted. there is some question in the minds of the public as whether these nom- nations should hold
 Public sentiment seems to favor declaration by the committee that the winners in the last primary are the duly nominated candidates for the old judg- ships. It is likely that a proposition will be submitted to the committee to have Judge Charles A. Senn declared the nom- inee for senior judge of the city court; Judge Charles W. Ferguson, associate judge; Judge A. A. Coleman and Samuel Weaver, circuit Judges; J. J. Altman. chancellor; Waiter K. McAdory, clerk of the circuit court, and Dr. J. s. Gillespie, clerk and register of the city court.
 There is very naturally some opposition to the above proposition and it Is not even known if the committee will favor 1t. The question may develop as a very live one when the committee gets to- gether for action.
