CONTRACT BRIDGE
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

Many Slams - First Thing American Expert Discovers About Five-Suit Contract: 20 Per Cent
 of Hands Are Big Ones
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-16

Whatever the new five-suit bridge game is eventually called depends upon the fickle jade, popular favor. Ely Culbertson, who has written book on it and has played it both in the United States and Europe, leans to Lilies" and wanted the design of the new card to bear a lily. The card manufacturers pa triotically decided to place an eagle on the new decks.
 Of course it is too early for any one to have devised a complete ystem of bidding. In the meantime, as the analysts are groping around, most experts contend that present contract systems require little adap- tation the newer game.
 One discovery has been made, and that is that about 20 per cent of the hands are slams. Americans immediately discarded the cumber- some bidding devised in England, where the opening bid was nine 1n- stead of one.
 Here is a "rock-crusher" which was played in rubber game i'll New York. Obviously the contract is made laid down, and with the tre- mendous hands held by North and South, East lost nothing by his at tempted sacrifice.
 Had East been permitted to play the hand at his sacrifice bid, he would have lost in all two hearts,

chose early in the year and COM
pleting them by County Fair time.
Plans for organization Of work
for the next year will also be dis
eussed.
Corn Loans Available
Corn loans will be available In
Stearns county for the first time
this year. Detailed information on
the operation Of the loan program
will be In the hands of the county
agents office by November 18th.
Stearns county has never been
handled as a corn limit county in
years gone by according to the ex-
tension office and for that reason
no reduction in corn acreage was
required, and likewise no corn
loans were made in Stearns coun-
ty for the same reason. Corn loans
in the corn limit counties further
south in Minnesota will be made
at a higher figure however, than IN
the counties like Stearns on the
outer edge of the corn belt. Loans
in the county will be approximately
rs percent of the amount that VIII
he loaned on corn in the southern
counties. It is generally understood
that the new loans in the southern
counties will be approximately olc
a bushel. This would mean that the
loan value of corn in Stearns coun-
ty would be about 45c. In general
the requirements for corn loans
are quite similar to those for wheat
The loans are made through the
Commodity Credit Corporation. A
satisfactory corn crib must be pro
yided for these loans and must oe
protected from soil moisture. Tne
crib must be protected with fair-
w good roof from the top. Many
farmers in Stearns County already
have satisfactory corn cribs to quar-
ify in this respect.

firemen. From this fund the de-
partment purchased incidentals and
equipment. $16,500 was paid out
for incidentals and $4,000 was used
for the purchase of equipment, and
$1,000 was loaned to the Bryant
Library, and has not been collected.
The City Of Sank Centre has no
money tied UP in fire equipment,
and the last unit was purchased by
the department and turned over to
the city without cost.
Sank Centre firemen, he said, re-
ceive 500 per call regardless of
the length OF time necessary to ex-
tinguish the fire. Melrose firemen
get 81 per hour for each fire; Alex
andria's department receives $500
per year flat and Long Prairie fire
men receive $25 each man per year
for service.
Mr.. Fish said the small truck was
about through for service. It Is IL
years old and has turned in $1,000
to the council for trips to country
fires. He said we need new truck,
and refuting the statement made
by some people, who said that the
present equipment could use more
water than available through the
mains, he called attention to the
large fire when the local trucks
were augmented by trucks from
Long Prairie, Melrose and Osakis,
and stated that plenty Of water was
available at that time.
Lawrence Herzog made report
of roads improved during the past
few years, and read the following
list: John Miller road, Fairy Lake
road, Home School road, the coun-
ty road past Ben Cites farm, the
road connecting II with Metre
Grove, and the road which passes
the Alex Botz farm to the Padua
road.
In the matter Of Christmas dec
orations the club decided to pur-
chase 200 extra feet of evergreen
roping and ten more small trees
and large thirty foot tree which
will be decorated. The club also
decided to offer prizes for home
decorations, and to collect $500
from each merchant to defray the
costs of the tree and candy and for
the cash prizes.

Hunters May Haul Deer Only
In State

Deer taken in the open territory
during the season from November
is to rs, may be transported, when
properly tagged, to the county in
which the license is issued, but
where hunters haul their own deer
home, they must confine themselves
to Minnesota highways, according
to Harry e. Speakes, director of
game and fish.
The law provides that deer may
be transported to the point where
the resident license is issued, but
prohibits such transportation to a
point in any other state, or through
any other state.
Inasmuch as the Wisconsin deer
season co-incides partially with that
of Minnesota, game wardcns &c chat
state will be checking all deer car
ried on Wisconsin highways. Wis
consin wardens along the border
carry Minnesota warden commits
sions and are bound by the reci-
procal agreement to enforce Min
nesota laws as well as those of their
own state. Minnesota wardens
likewise, who are located along the
Wisconsin border, carry Wisconsin
commissions, and they, too, will be
checking deer transported.
The department of conservation
emphasizes the point OF transpor-
tation in the big game law sum
mary issued with each license, and
wants all hunters to be thoroughly
informed, according to Mr.. Speakes.
Refugees and Parks Closed To
Hunting
All game refugees and state parks
within the open deer territory re-
main closed, with the exception of
strip for five miles on each side
of the Gunflint Trail, and similar
strip five miles on each side of the
Ely-Buyck road east of marked
point about ten miles from Buyck.
These two portions of the Superior
National Forest game refuge are
open upon the recommendation of
the U. S. Forest Service.

Racco0n, Mink, Skunk Seasons Are
Now Open
November 1 marks the opening
Of seasons for taking mink and rae
coon, with the skunk season open
ed as of October 20, according to
Harry e. Speakes, director of the
division of game and fish.
Mink may be taken from Novem-
Der i to February is, both dates
inclusive. Traps for mink may not
be set in muskrat houses nor rum
ways, nor may they be dug from
their dens or taken with dogs.
The raccoon season Is open from
November 1 to December / both
dates inclusive, provided that rae
coon may not be hunted with dogs
in territory inhabited or frequented
by deer, nor may trees inhabited
by raccoon be cut down.
Skunk may be taken in any man
ner during the open season, which
extends to May 1. A trapping lie
ense is required for taking fur bear
ing animals on which a closed sea-
son is provided.
There is no open season on beav-
er, otter, marten or fisher, and the
muskrat season is not determined
until spring, when surveys show
what effect the winter season has
had on the rats, and where there
appears to be a harvestable surplus
Of the fur bearers.
There is no protection on fox,
wolves, lynx, wildcat, and weasels,
and consequently these animals

KANSAS RESERVOIR
NOT z YEARS OLD
ALREADY SILT FILLED

\ Kansas reservoir built IN
1896 at a cost Of approximately
$lj0,OO0 is now just about use
lcss--Iargcly as result OF SOIL
erosion in the contributing water
shed. Soil conservation service
workers who recently investigated
the case call it the worst example
Of reservoir sitting of which they
have any record.
On April 3, 1896, a dam OF
limestone blocks was completed
across the south fork Of the Solo
mon river near Osborne, HANS.
The dam was designed to create
reservoir with maximum ca
pacity Of nearly 100 million gal
Ions and was expected to provide
the city with an ample supply OF
water.
Before long, however, immense
quantities of soil matter being
carried down the river lodged be-
hind the dam. BY September
lg37-about II months after the
date Of completion--thc storage
basin was so completely filled
with silt that water was scarcely
retarded in its flow.
The silt which now replaces
valuable water in this reservoir
came from fields and pastures in
the watershed, according to soil
conservation service workers.
They say that rain water moving
swiftly acroS supstream farm land
picked up countless soil particles
an dcaricd them down to the re-
scrvoir where they were dropped
as the flow Of water was halted.
Research Investigations made
by the service in many sections Of
the country show that large
number Of American reservoirs
are seriously threatened by ac-
CELEBRATED erosion in watershed
areas.
