Today's hand was played in a duplicate game, and five hearts was made by every South player ex- cept one, who made six by clever psychological play.
 Three rounds of hearts were talk en, ending with the king in dum- my. Then the jack of spades was led, with the idea of forcing East to guess, in case he held the ace, whether South was void of the suit. East knew that South was short In spades, as the latter had bid both red suits.
 The actual defender guessed wrong and played a small spade. The queen won, and a small dia- mond was led toward the jack, which won the trick. The king of spades came back, and this time East cov- yered. but South trumped. After knocking out the ace of diamonds, declarer claimed the rest, since he could discard one of his losing clubs on the ten of spades, and ruff the other with dummy's last trump.

Agriculture
Services Ask
Larger Funds
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Jan. 14-If North Carolina
farmers are not provided more train
ing and direct aid in marketing pro
duce, it will be no fault of the State
Board of Agriculture. That is the
major item in the departments legis-
lative program as presented to the
joint committee on agriculture Fri
day. More money is also desired for
hog and cholera eradication, test
farms and soil analysis, but more than
half of the additional ALLEGATIONS re
quested are for marketing specialists
The department of agriculture is
largely independent of the legislature
from the revenue angle, because its
income is derived from fertilizer, seed
and other inspectional services, and
is diSbursed under direction of tbs
budget commission. The Legislature
for years past has been taking a part
of the agricultural fund receipts and
placing them at the disposal of State
College for research work. The board
of agriculture now asks with more
than usual insistence that State Col
lege look to the general fund for such
money and leave the agricultural fund
to the department.
Commissioner Scott and individual
board members took the floor to urge
adoption of recommendations calling
for additional expenditures of $129,-
600 for 1939-40 and 100000 for 1910
Al. About half ($58y O00) of this is in
tended for expanding the marketing
the marketing division. One of the
urgent needs of the farmers is instruc-
ton and demonstration in attractive
packaging of fruits and vegetables
Of the $4,000 asked for additional
marketing service, only SIP 900 is foc
the two major money crops of cot
ton and tobacco. The rest is for poul-
try, dairy products, fruits, vegetables,
etc.
Other divisions which the depart
ment desires to expand include soil
testing $20,000 test FARMS $34,7OO for
the first year and $500 for the sec
ond; and veterinary division, for hog
cholera work, $15,6OO.
Committee members listened but
made no promises. A hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars is a lot
of money, and there isn't anywhere
to get it save from the people back
in the counties where the legislators
come from. Suggestions of an extra
ten cents tax of fertilizer didn't set
well with some of the eastern mem
hers, although the westerners, whose
constituents use little commercial fer
tilizer, didn't object to that method.
On the other hand, the westerners did
not take so kindly to suggested draft

Senator w. A. Graham member of

siOner of agriculture, took the floor
to mildly oppose some of the propos-
ed expansions of service. He reviewed
the development of the marketing di-
vision under his administration, and
blamed intervention of the federal
government for lack of more adequate
facilities. He urged cooperation with
existing federal agencies in develop
ment of the department program.
