UNCLE RAYS CORNER

After a field is plowed the soil
Is not at all even Something else
is needed TO smooth the ground.
A machine used to make the
ground smooth and to break up the
soil turned by the plow is the har-
row. Millions of farmers have har-
rows.
Before the days of the harrow
farmers who planted grain used
hoes to break and smooth the
ground. It was slow work, very
hard on the back. to hoe q field.
Hand-moved hoes are used to this
day in many kinds of farm labor,
largely for potatoes and other vege-
tables. Where grain is grown the
up-to-date farmer has harrow,
often one drawn by tractor.
In ancient times the ground was
hoed with the help of forked stick.
Later came hoes with metal blades.
An old nickname for a plowman
Is 'clodhopper. Walking behind
@ pillow, he must take care to hop
over the large elods Of earth which
are turned up.
In past times We are told that
some farm workers had the special
task of hopping on the clods, in
stead Of over them. They were
sclodhoppers" Of a special kind.
With their heavy shoes they stamped
On the clods and broke them up.
Another way of breaking up the
clods was with heavy clubs. Men

behind a harrow drawn by team
of oxen.
In the early days of the harrow
the spikes were in four or five rows
with perhaps four spikes in each
row. That kind of harrow was
helpful. but it did not do enough.
Better harrows were built in later
times. The spikes or teeth" were
spread in such a way that they
would cut the soil in more places.
Still later came harrows, or "cul-
tivators," with small metal disks
which cut the soil as they were
pulled along. Such harrows are in
wide use at the present time.
Many farms of today have har-
rows which are pulled by tractors.
Some machines will SOW grain and
harrow soil at the same time.
Others. pulled by tractors, will
plow, harrow and SOW grain, all at
the same time.

South was thus set one trick.
Believe 1t or not. there's a bridge
crime concealed In what you have
read thus far. Try to spot the crime
and the criminal before you read on.
South was the criminal for pass
Ing the double of two no-trumpl
It's perfectly true that two no-trump
would have been massacred, but II
was Just naive of South to imagine
that West was going to stay in
such a hopeless contract. 1t should
have been perfectly obvious that he
was going 10 run out TO three dia-
monds and that he had expected to
be doubled before he had bid two
no-trump.
The real crime In passing the
double OF two no-trump was that
North was bound to be ION the
spot" when West bid three dia-
monds. South could be pretty sure
that his partner could not raise
hearts, but there was considerable
danger that North would feel COM
PEELED TO rebid his spades. That
would push South to four hearts
one trick too high as IL turned out.
South should have bid three
hearts instead of passing That
would almost surely be the final
contract, and South would make
game and rubber instead of being
set one trick.
