A Series Explaining the Contract Bridge System.
Hand X

Northrs hand, which contains less
than an gee and q king, must respond
to the two club forcing bid With two
diamonds. South then shows his first
true declaration of two no trump.
North realizes that he will be called
upon to make a choice between . suit
and a no trump. As his hand u bet.
ter suited to play no trump than
either of the majors, he endeavors to
plug the hole in the weak suit Of his
partner and bids three diamonds.
The first time that he bid dia-
monds, it was an arbitrary response
and his hf Id may not have contained
a diamond, but now, when he bids 1t
he assures his partner that the hand
contains at least four diamonds
headed by the queen-l0. With this
information South goes to three no
trump.
South two clubs, North's minimum
response of two diamonds. South two
no trump and North again endeavors
to plug the weak spot in his partners
hand. His hand contains q four-card
suit headed by queen-10, therefore he
should show this suit by bidding
three hearts. This suits South's hand
very well and he goes to four hearts.
Hand M
In response to South's two club
forcing bid. North must bid two dia-
monds. South then shows his first
real declaration by bidding two no
trump. North's proper response Is
three clubs-not because he has four
clubs headed with the queen, but be-
cause he is forced to keep the bidding
open and three clubs is the cheapest
response he can made to two no
trump. He would make this same
response if his hand contained only
one or two small clubs. South then
shows his other true declaration and
bids three hearts. North prefers this
to no trump and goes to four hearts.
The writer suggests now that our
readers select various South hands
containing eight probable tricks IN
which South has q choice between
two suits or between a suit and n
trump, and then deal out various
North hands so that they may become
thoroughly familiar with this con-
vention.
The writer wishes to state that
while he does not advocate this two
club arbitrary forcing bid, he feels
that those who are interested IN
learning how to play contract should
familiarize themselves with all Of the
various systems and then select TOR
themselves the n best suited TO
their game.

Weeds are the bare Of the garden
er's existence. but come to think. OF
it, If It were not for the weeds, most
gardeners would probably let the hoe
rust and the soil about their plants
would get so hard that nothing would
grow.
Some people believe that about the
only reason for cultivating q garden
Is to keep the weeds from growing,
but that's not the case at all, because
cultivation does more than destroy
weeds.
Did you ever notice during a rainy
spring day when the garden soil be-
came packed and water-logged how
many Of the plants began to turn yell
low and how occasionally some Of
them died?
Roots Of plants have to breathe, or
at least they have to get q reasonable
amount Of air, or they will not grow.
That's where cultivation comes in,
because cultivation loosens the sur
face OF the soil and lets the air get
to the roots Of the plants. For that
reason, the surface soil should be
stirred as soon as possible after each
rain or irrigation. It isn't, necessary
to 60 very deep, just loosen the sur
face for an inch or two.
This often can be done to best adj
vantage by means OF a steel rake or
with a wheel hoe-push hoe, some
people call 1t. These little wheel hoes
are very effective for cultivating be-
tween rows Of lettuce, radishes. ar
rots and the like, that are ordinarily
planted rather close together.
Leave Room for C~ultivator
In the larger garden it pays to
plant almost everything in rows 80 to
SO inches apart, or in some cases, AZ
inches apart, In order to give plenty
of room to get through with the cul-
tivator.
Where the land is bedded, cabbage,
kale, cauliflower and oher crops Of
that character are often planted in
rows only 80 inches apart. but for
the larger crops like corn, Lima

South has sufficient strength to
make an arbitrary call Of two clubs.
North's hand contains an ace and a
king-as {, matter Of fact he has a
suit headed by ace, king, but as 1t is
a minor suit. he must respond with
two no trump. South can easily read
that the only thing his partner can
hold Is the ace and king Of diamonds
and Immediately goes to three no
trump.
Surprising, however, that South
held two small spades and the ace,
king and queen Of diamonds, and
North held the ace, king and two
small spades and the jack and four
of diamonds, instead Of responding
with two no trump shen, he would
respond with two spades. The de-
clarer would get the same reading as
he did from the two no trump re-
Spouse and would take the declare

CO much has been said and written on the

duration more than 100 million tons of fertile
top soil were washed out of the fields of the
Black Belt. The affected land was not unduly
steep, being little more than gentle slope.
One single rain in one morning swept away
% tons per acre of rich black soil and at least
5000, 900 acres were affected.
The seriousness of the situation is to be seen
In the fact that the eroded soil is permanently
lost and the average depth of top soil in this
country Is about 9 inches. The destruction of
forests has brought the soil erosion question TO
the fore, for few, comparatively, have made
any effort either through the planting of belts
Of trees or the construction of terraces to over
come the destructive wash of accumulated
waters down slopes during transforms.
