and West trumped. The ace Of trumpS disclosed the bad break, and West promptly shifted to the king of diamonds. North took his ace at once and led another heart, West trumping out South's ace.
 South was now marked for the only remaining high card, the king of clubs, for his opening bid. De- clarer therefore crossed to dummy with the ten of diamonds, cashed the high heart (discarding a dia- mond), and led the club queen.
 When this held, the jack was led, South covered and West won with the ace. When the nine of clubs was not covered by North, declarer discarded dummy's remain ing diamond and permitted South to win with his ten of clubs.
 North now held four trumps while declarer and dummy each held two. Nevertheless, West was able to make all of the remain ing tricks by crosS-ruffing.

 Even this. however, was a poor score, considering the fact that East and West had a vulnerable game in spades. One West player got to garae in spades and succeed ed in making five-odd despite the horrible trump break.

SHADE TREES NEED
CLOSE ATTENTION If
THEY ARE TO THRIVE

There is perhaps more misun-
derstanding in regard to the care
of shade trees than about any
other horticultural subject, ac-
cording to John Harms, extension
Landscape specialist at State col
lege.
Too many people regard a tree
as simply something nature pro-
vided for shade and beauty and
let it go at that However, the
tree cannot survive if natures
methods of caring for it are
tempered with.
For instance, decaying leaves
and other organic matter provide
a natural fertilizer for the tree.
Yet. modern lawns have to be
spick and span, and generally
leaves are not allowed to accu-
mulate. SO the tree is deprived Of
its food, unless the home owner
is careful to supply it artifically.
Some of the symptoms of the
undernourished tree are thin TO-
liage, understood leaves, lack of
growth, dead branches branches
dying back on tips, and under
sized buds.
When these conditions are prev
alent, Harris said, the tree may be
fortified at any time of the year
with a slow-acting organic ma
tcrial, such as manure. If COM
mercial fertilizer is used, it should
be applied between February IS
and July Is to produce best re-
suits.
