TWO GREAT ADVANTAGES

RAISING your partners bid of
a major. when you hold four cards
Of the suit. is doubly advantageous
TO your side as compared with
bidding another suit in response.
The first disadvantage OF making
a minimum takeout in another
suit is that IT tells your opponents
something which may help them
put up a killing defense against
you. The second is that it may af-
ford your opponents a chance to
enter the bidding and either wind
up in a contract of their own, or
exchange information on how to
beat yours. whereas raising your
partners suit might erect a bar
rier so high that they cannot risk
bidding at all.

LOCAL GARDENER
 OFFERS HOPE TO
 POTATO GROWERS

Deep concern has been expressed by Juneau gardeners regarding the blight that has struck at locally grown potatoes. According to one Juneau gardener, who has studied the diseased potatoes, it corres- ponds to the black blight or black leg described in the Ency- clopedia Britannica. Britannica states that the only product to use in combating the black blight is the Bordeau mixture.
 Further research in Columbia Encyclopedia gave the prescription for the Bordeau mixture. It states the mixture is fungicide made by combining bluestone, or copper sul- phate; lime and water in varying proportions. The original formula is given as follows: 16 pounds cop peri sulfate, mixed with 30 pounds of lime and 28 gallons of water.
