North was, in this instance, the
dealer and started with a bid Of one
heart. From there 1t progressed
through clubs. diamonds, spades and
no-trump, and finally South wound
up with q contract Of five clubs. He
had properly feared that three no.
trump could not be made. If the
bidding was bad, the played was
worse, and the breaks were terrible.
So he won only seven tricks and was
set four. Vests lead of a diamond
was trumped by East, who returned
q spade which South allowed West
to win with the king and shoot back
another diamond to be trumped.
When South reached his dummy
with q heart, he led a small club
and played the jack. West won with
the lone queen and played another
diamond to be trumped. Thus, East
and West won three diamond tricks,
one spade trick and two club tricks,
six in all, against = contract for
five clubs.
Even the experts go bad at times
with strong hands, although It is
probable that no game contract
could be made from this deal.

further exploitation the philatelio
public will tolerate Is one of the
questions which organized groups Of
collectors should take into serious
consideration. The time has passed
when the gullibility of stamp en-

ing or clipping Is all that is needed
but they need it every year.

1t will soon be time to transplant
perennials and biennials for next
summers flowers. If you have not
already started them from seed
place orders for plants now for
delivery within the next two weeks.
1t Is important that these plants
be set out early enough to become
well-rooted before freezing weather.
Bulb planting starts in September
with the daffodils. Others are
planted along as they become avail
able. The important thing is to
plant lilies as soon as they are re-
ceived. since they deteriorate rap
idly when out of the soil. The
bulbous irises should not be planted
until just before freezing weather.
Keep the dahlias and chrysanthe-
NUNS well-watered so that they
will keep growing vigorously. If
allowed to be stunted by lack of
water the quality of their bloom Is
greatly reduced. Disbudding should
be kept up if flowers are wanted
for the fall flower shows. Feeding
for extra fine bloom is best done
by watering with a liquid fertilizer
or liquid manure.
Mildew will appear on many
plants and shrubs as the nights
become cooler and we have heavy
dews. This may be controlled by
busting with sulphur or bordeaux
While mildew will destroy many of
the ANIMALS, it is seldom serious
on hlacs and other woody plants.
