South, q rather falr woman player,
received small diamond opening, and
Immediately saw that her proper line of
attack would be to ruff her two losing
diamonds In dummy, draw trumps
and play for the club honors to be
split. She Immediately trumped
small diamond, returned to her hand
with the ace of clubs (meanWhile drop
ping East's queenD, then trumped her
remaining diamond in dummy. And
here is where declarer went wrong.
Inasmuch as she would lose only one
club trick, she could well afford to lose
two tricks in trumps, and therefore the
proper play would be to lead a small
spade from dummy, go right up with
the king, and if that held, lead a Sec
ond round Of trumps. However, de-
clarer decided that by playing out the
queen Of spades, she would have a
chance later to finesse for the missing
jack and might possible make an over
trick. Suddenly things started to hap
pen. East won the queen of spades
with ris ace and led fourth diamond.
When declarer trumped with the nine
West overtrumped with the jack,
cashed the king of clubs and led an
other club for his partner to ruff. Thus
the contract was set through short
sightedness on the part of declarer.
But If she had played the hand safely,
keeping the queen Of spades In dummy,
she would have made an overtrick,
since the jack of trumps would have
fallen on the second round.

ADVANTAGES FOR

Imperial Valley is one of the

according TO George Winwright. as
sistant farm adviser.
Cheap feed low housing costs and
i minimum of disease. makes the
valley ,he most economical section
III the ration to grow hogs. VIM
wright pointed out
Even in years when the hog mar
Net is comparatively low. and when
Hg0WeIS in the eastern part of the
United States lose money. valley
srowerS are able to net a profit.
Because the valley grower can
.aiSe feed the year around. and
because housing facilities can be
provided at such a low cost his
expenses are cut to less than half
that Of the eastern grower.
Comparatively mild winters allows
he valley grower to let his stock
cam whereas eastern growers some
times have to keep animals cooped

Disease often spreads when the
7nimals are cooped up and losses

Needed
For Increased
Beet Production

Lack of machinery capable of
taking over much of the work now
done by hand labor is the major
handicap to the production of SUI
gar baets. The development of such
machinery would go a long way to-
ward solving many of the social
problems involved in the use of
migrant labor in the fields and
would aid sugar beetS to attain a
position of greater importance in
the nations agriculture.
These conclusions were drawn by
Professor II. B. Walker, head of the
division of agricultural engineering
on tAe Davis campus of the Uniyer-
sity of California, in an article
appearing in the October issue OF
the National Beet Grower.
Professor Walker pointed out that
sugar beet growers must lean hea-
vily on migrant labor during two
peak periods, one coming in the
spring after the seeded beets have
come through the ground, and the
other in the fall during harvest.
According to him, This labor cost
constitutes a considerable fraction
of the total production cost 1t like
wise constitutes an intermittent la
Dor demand which makes it diff
cult to successfully meet the social
responsibilities involved, thus fire.

Large Hay Crop
Predicted for 1888

A 1898 hay crop Of 80 million tons
the largest in 10 years and one
of the largest on record-has been
forecast by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The 1887
crop was 83 million tons and the
1926 average Including several
drought years. was less than 80
million tons.
This years crop, together with
last springs farm carry-over stocks
OF nearly 13 million tons. makes
the second largest seasonal supply
per animal unit in the 26 years for
which comparable data are avail
eble. The 1888 alfalfa hay crop is
the largest on record, 8 per cent
larger than the 1897 crop. 2.5 per
cent larger than the 1885 crop. and

average.

this months issue Of American Build

construction industry
Designed by Schreier A Patterson,
A. I. A.. and built by the Westhaven
Development Corp, the home Is To-
Gated at $50 Wriley road. It is now
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard D.
Boutele.
Commenting the architects and
builder of the home. the magazine cites
a number of desirable features. It
says:
Exterior stone is of a warm color
that is very appealing. Floor plan is
excellent. with principal exposure of
living room, dining room and terrace
toward the south away from the street.
The lavatory is we'll located to right of
entry.
In keeping with the modern treat
ment, the kitchen faces the street SO
that living quarters may have the
privacy of garden view. Convenient
kitchen door leads to vestibule. Bed
rooms are large and well proportioned
and there are ample closets. Cubage
is $4,000, overall dimensions forty-twc

EXHIBIT PERIOD
OF HOME CLOSES
First Silver Star DWELLING
in Wester|eigh Sells
Readily.

Sold shortly after it was opened
for inspection by the public, the
first Silver Star Home for this year
at 1921 Tlden street NV, in the
Westerleigh section of Wesley Heights,
closes today after a four week exhi-
bition period.
Between 10000 and $4,000. persons
visited the Georgian Colonial dwell
ing during the time it was open for
inspection and many were lavish in
their praise. OF particular interest
was the floor plan, which reduces
waste space to minimum: the
solldness of construction and the
attractive furnishings.
The home was erected by w. C.,
and A. N. Miller. developers of the
nationally known Wesley Heights
Spring Valley area, and was designed
oy Gordon E. MacNeil. The furnish
1ngs and decorations were provided
oy the Van Dyne Antique Galleries
and the Wesley Heights Shops.
The house has II rooms, 4 baths
and a flrst-f1oor lavatory. 1t has
SIX bedrooms, in all of which are
large closets. There is ample storage
space in the basement and on the
second and third floors. An unusual
arrangement places the kitchen at
the front of the first floor, with the
dining and living rooms at the rear,
overlooking the garden. Both of the
latter rooms are spacious and con-
nected by French doors. An attrac-
tive library opens off the living
room, which also connects with a
large. screened living porch.

it's news to find a plastic which,
scorning the name of putty. really

Gently was subjected to a unique test.
Five stakes about two feet long and
half = foot wide, each with a piece
OF llnoleum cemented on with the
new plastic, were taken to the sea-
shore. The stakes then were driven
into the sand SO that about a foot
and q half was exposed at low tide,
although all were covered at high tide
When the water receded. the stakes
took the full onslaught of sun, wind
and fog: the rest of the time salt
water did its best to loosen the lin
oleum. After five weeks the bond
| between the linoleum and the wood
remained perfect.
Any plastic that can hold up under
such a test should be rewarded by
use in the home. shouldn't it? There
are many places about a house where
a plastic is useful-to fill in the. Stub

wall and drainboard meets kitchen
