MORE CROP DIVERSITY
URGED THROUGH SOUTH

Economic conditions demand a ra-
tionalization of the farming program
of the South. according to Charles j.
Brand, executive secretary and treas
urer of the National Fertilizer Associa-
ton, in a letter to Southern bankers.
In view of the fact that an affirma-
tive program is always more successful
than a negative one, Mr. Brand en-
closed slogan, as follows: "a Sound
Program-Keep more hogs and cows
and raise more corn and hay and
vegetables. Grow fewoEn acres of cot
ton or tobacco of better quality. But
use plenty of high-analysis Nrtilizer to
keep down the COSTS
The cure for the present depression
and . return to prosperity tnr the
whole country depend upon aainore
profitable agriculture In 1891 thah on
any other single factor. Profits &ro-
duce prosperity" Mr.. Brand added.

FARMERS ORGANIZE
IN POLITICAL UNIT
Former Head of Non-PartiSan
League Active in Farm
ing party"
Special Dispatch to The Star.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January "a
Coming from the Wheat Belt, where
dissatisfaction with the price level of
the premier product has been simmer
ing for months, are reports of efforts to
organize this unrest into political ac-
ton. The National Producers ALI
ance" is the title of the latest addition
to the many farmers organizations that
has been offered in the interior.
Its slogan, Ito produce crops at cost
plus a profit" has a taking sound,
though there is apparently no part Gu
lar system divulged by which it is to be
done. The meetings are held in coun-
try Schoolhouses; memberships at $40
each; hundreds of "joiners" to a county
are claimed. Secret grips and pass
words are part of the paraphernalia,
tools as the old Non-Partisan League.
TOwnIey Is Guiding Spirit.
The literature comes from Mime
apolis, and A. G. Townley, head Of the
league in North Dakota when 1t was in
its ascendancy, has ben travelling
through Nebraska and Kansas starting
the movement. Several of his former
assistants are in the field. While its
purpose is claimed to be economic, it
Is quietly put forth as political with
the purpose of securing the control of
one of the political parties.
This may or may not be important,
but 1t is interesting as the first indica-
lions of a farmer movement through
special organization since the def1ation
of prices of foodstuffs less than a year
ago. When 1t Is remembered that in
Kansas at the last election a country
doctor, whose license had been taken
from him by the State Medical Board
for irregular practices, used radio sta
ton to promote his own candidacy for
Governor and polled $4,000 votes to
the winning candidates $4,000, it has
some significance. The radio station Is
still going, urging the farmers to rise in
their mite and smite the old parties.
Trade More Hopeful
Mercantile trade conditions reveal a
somewhat more hopeful atmosphere.
possibly engendered by the relatively
liberal turnover of the holiday season
and the special cleanup sales following.
But a notably mild Winter with abb
sence of snow or other moisture has
been unfavorable to expansion OF sea-
sonable demand for retail merchandise
Wholesalers report tagging trade, and
are waiting for the upturn which &C
companies opening of Spring. The
status of employment is little improved;
in cities the influx from farms is adj
ding to the complexity OF the condl-
tions, States are working on methods
of carrying on until the beginning OF
the crop season.

The count system of valuing no trumps Is perhaps the mast popular syste min the country today. While for no trump bidding in the quanti- tative showing of tricks, our read CTS must not attempt to use the count system in valuing hands for suit bids which naturally are played under totally different conditions.
 Suit Bids
 When the quantitative showing of tricks system is being used, orig Inal suit bids should convey the following information to follower:
 That your hand contains a certain number of probable tricks if the hand Is played at the suit declaration you name.
 2-That your hand contains q certain number of high cards or quick tricks.
 The most important of the two requirements for original suit bids are the quick tricks. This informa ton is absolutely necessary 10 your partner In case he wishes to bid another suit and can therefore count on thes high cards to assist his hand. or in ease partner wishcs fo make q business double. He will then know that your hand can be counted on 10 take q certain number of tricks against the oppo- nents.
 Another important reason Is that supposing the opponents play the

1 hand and your partner Is called upon to make the opening lead. If they are playing the hand at no trump, he can feel reasonably sure that there Is a possibility of quickly esta blighing the suit that you orig inally bid, or he can make an ad- vantageous lead against a suit dec- laration.
 Card valuation Is always mat ter of common sense and naturally the value of your hand will increase or decrease depending upon the bide of your opponents.
 When you open with q suit dcc- laration of one, you contract to take seven tricks, but 1t Is not ex-
 pected that you take all of these tricks yourself. Your hand is sup
 posed to furnish only four or five of the tricks. This will give you four probable tricks. There are nine tricks left to be distributed in theother three hands. With a normal distribution. your partner will hold three of these and if he holds three tricks and normal sup- port In your trump. hc is entitled 10 give you one raise as there isI one trick allowed for the play of the hand.

'b NbSEN Secretary American Bridge League
 In our preceding articles we have explained the pitch count for valu- ing no trump hands.
 When this system is employed. # will be found that three points will average to take a trick. Of course you will note that n combined count of 24 generally produces game and while we say that three points will average to take trick. then n count of 24 should produce only eight tricks. bot our readers must rememb Der that they are entitled al- ways to count one trick for the play of the hand up to and including n game going declaration. In other words. if there are i've probable tricks in your hand and three in partner's--that Is eight probable tricks which will. in the larger per ceDtage of cases. produce nine tricks.
 It has often been stated that . dummy without a trick Is at least two tricks worse off than a dummy with a possible in-card. The in- card will take trick and will then allow the leclarcr to take n finesHe which may assist him to establish his suit before the opposition gets theirs established.
