WHEAT CLUB MEMBERS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING

Members of the All club who
reported their results to the coun.
ty extension office had an aver
age yield of II bushels per acre,
a yield that is 500 greater than
the county average. Minimum re-
quirements were 5 acres per mem
Der and as some raised as much
as 20 acres, club members have
produced over a thousand bushels
of wheat.
The All Wheat club was organ
lied for the first time in the
spring of 1929 with 20 boys enroll
ed. OF the 20 who started, 16 are
recorded rs having finished their
projects. The club has been coun-
ty-wide, that is, boys in all parts
of the county have been enrolled
rather than to confine the club
work to a local unit with a club
leader supervising the work.
Requirements for membership
specify that club members must
be at least II years of age, that
they use pure seed of standard
varieties, that the land must be
summer titled or laid-over break
ing and that each club member
keep a record of time put in and
attempt to show the cost per bush
ell.
The unfavorable year has made
records unsatisfactory from the
boys standpoint and it is difficult
to compute any costs. The club
will be continued next year and
urther attempt made to list costs.

Mr.. Whitehead. Declarer, paved

dictated the high caliber Of his

The 6 was also his partners lowest
Club, since Major Colfeit himself

Consequently, Mr. Works Club suit.

Major Colfelt that Declarer could
hold only one. This probably vas
either the Ace or King, since with
a worthless singleton Declarer
would have avoided a No Trump
bid. If not the Ace or King, then
Declarer'S singleton was either the
Jack or 8 spot. the only other Clubs
