would say that leading away from

tonly wasting sure trick But II
you reckoned the declarer hoped
to use dummy's trumps to run
couple Of tricks In a side suit,
your lead could not prove costly.
In fact, 1t might gain your side a

with the dummy's ace. SO that he
couldn't pick up your king.

Fewer Onions, More
Spuds On Marsh

An increase in potato and sugar
beet acreage at the expense of corn
is predicted in the Scioto marsh area
in Hardin county as work gets under
way for the 1941 season.
Improved methods of cultivation,
handling and marketing of potatoes
are making the crop better adapted
to the district each year. The best
market under the present set-up is
stable, little affected by price fuctua-
tions. Onion acreage in the marsh is
restricted largely by soil conditions,
only parts of the district being adapt
ed to the crop.
