High Spots of the
Agricultural News

Split on Supports-The senate
agriculture committee split wide
open over farm price supports
whether they should be fixed at 80
percent of parity or be flexible.
President Truman uncovered the
disagreement with his request to
congress to aim at farm abundance
and parity through price supports.
He didn't give a formula. He just
said supports should prevent "out
of line" farm price declines and
promote good land use. He observed
present laws must be adapted" to
detectives.
A poll of IL members of the COM
mittee shows this three-way split:
/. Four southern Democrats on
the committee, led by Chairman
Elmer Thomas (Okla.), claim Mr..
Truman backed their demands for
continuing government price drops
at 80 percent of parity.
2. Four Republicans headed by
Senator Aiken (Vt.), said the chief
executive is backing a flexible price
support plan enacted by the COP
congress but not yet in operation.
1t would lower price floors if farm
ers produce surplus crops. ?
3. Four other Democrats-includ-
ing Senator Lucas CID, floor ma
jority leader, and Senator Anderson
adopt a compromise position. They
say they lean toward flexibility
price supports but may want to re-
wise those now on the books.
Increase in Rural Phones+The
Mountain States Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. contributed more than
$4,000 rural telephone installations
to those gained by the Bell system
since the war, according to H. c.
Henderson, district manager al
Great Falls. The Bell system placed
its one-millionth rural phone ir
service Dec. 16 in a North Caroline
farm home.
Total telephones of his COMPANY
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-15

in rural areas of the seven western
states it serves reached $4,000 on
Dec. 1, 1913, Henderson said. To
make a gain of more than 40 per-
cent since the war, the largest rural
construction program in the history
of its operations was carried out.
1t involved the setting up of more
than $4,000 telephone poles and the
stringing of more than $4,000 miles
of wire.
Seek repeal-Montana's premium
merchandising law which has made
Montanans ineligible for premium
and prize awards in radio and other
advertising appears headed for re-
peal by this session of the legisla-
ture.
Notice of intention to seek out
right repeal of the acknowledgement
law was served on the house by five
Republicans and eight Democrats.
The a~nti-premium law, requiring
a $4,000 county license for each dis
tributor of such merchandise, was
enacted in 1917, ostensibly to dis
courage a then prevalent practice
of certain stores in giving trading
stamps with each cash purchase,
which were redeemable in cash or
merchandise.
The law is very plain. Distribu-
ton of bonus merchandise free or
at less than the retail market price,
inside a package or through redemp-
ton of coupons, stamps or certifi-
Gates, is prohibited unless the Sc, 900
license fee is paid and criminal
penalties are imposed for violation
of the law.
Although merchants generally
have violated it without punishment
for many years, the matter came
into the limelight again in the last
year when some national advertis-
ers, learning of the law, specifically
mentioned Montana in magazine
ads and on radio programs as the
n state in the union where their
premium offers are not valid.

Home Building in 1946
Highest in 23 Years,
Is Now Tapering Off
BY the Assoeioted Press

Home building activity hit a 23-
year high mark in 1948. but it has
begun to taper off in the first
three months of 1949, the Govern
ment said today.
The Bureau of Labor statistics
said complete reports of housing
starts for 1948 showed a total of
931 300 the greatest building
boom since the all-time peak of
937 900 units in 1925.
Last month saw the beginning
of a seasonal upturn in building
with the start of $4,000 perma-
nent nonfarm dwellings. This was
a gain of 10000 units. or IS per
cent, over February figures. 1t was
400, or 10 per cent. under the
number started in March last year
For the first quarter Of l949,
nonfarm dwelling construction
reached a total of $4,000. This
was 1000, or IL per cent, under
the number started in the same
three month period last year.
The bureau reported that in the
three full years since the end OF
World War II. a total Of $4,000
nonfarming dwellings have been
put under construction.
The report said the average con-
struction cost - excluding land
|costs and builders prof1ts-of all
privately financed one m y
houses rose 43 per cent between
1916 and 1948 to $7.875.
The bureau also announced that
private nonfarming housebuilding
rose moderately by $25 .000, 900 IN
March to hit q figure for the
month of $400 200. 900. thereby re-
versing a six-month downtrend.
Contract construction employ
ment in March totaled 1924 900.
This was virtually unchanged
from February. but was 10000
above the number employed In
March, 1948.
The estimated value Of all new
construction through March was
81 200, ,000, 900, a 9 per cent in
crease from February.

World War II took fearful toll

Goren on Bridae

We are, as a class, more deeply
indebted than we acknowledge to
the mathematicians who have
burned the midnight oil and pro-
duced their findings to help us when
facing certain problems In per-
centages. 1t is not to be expected
that the layman will carry in his
mind an involved table of figures.
An approximation of the chances is
sufficient. AS rule of thumb that
will stand up reasonably well for
practical purposes we offer the fol-
lowing: Any two chances combined
are usually better than the best
single chance. Let us use today's
hand from the national mixed team
of-four championships to illustrate
the point.
A word or two on the auction.
Souths bid of one heart is not the
choice of this department. While
it is the accepted procedure with
more than one suit to open with
that which ranks next below the
singleton, nevertheless this rule
contemplates only biddable suits and
four to the jack is not regarded as
q biddable suit except m emer-
gencies. The recommended opening
is one diamond. If partner does not
respond with hearts 1t is unlikely
that that suit will be the best
trump.
West overcalled with one spade,
though many players would prefer
to double with a hand OF this
strength. In view of North's free
bid South elected to make one more
try by a call of three diamonds and
North decided to gamble 1t out for
game. Vests double was based more
on pique than on values held.
The king of spades was opened
and South ruffed the second round
The Jack of hearts went to Vests
ace and the shift was to club
The king of hearts failed to clear
the suit and East was given the
queen. Declarer's problem natural
ly narrowed down to the question oi
avoiding a diamond loser. With SIX
outstanding cards, the play for the
finesse is distinctly superior to at
tempting to drop the queen. but
this declarer decided that he could
afford himself additional chances
by first trying to drop the queen
and II that failed to come OF he hao
still left the hope that the clubs
would break three-three; failing
that, there was the chance that the
player holding the four clubs also
had the queen of diamonds, in which
case he would be unable to hold on
to everything as the trumps were
run.
When the queen of diamonds fell
on the second round the hand was
spread. It will be noted that ii
West had held one more diamond
and one less spade he would still
have been unable to defend. Fol
as the last trump was led he would
have to part with club, establish
ing South's hand.
