Champs Now in the Making
The 1850 champions in the Ma

Delaware's Alters are hard at

National, state and county awards

been offered in the food prepara-

activity in the project is still going

Or, it may cause an affected hog
to linger on for months without

OF course, the answers to chol-

different. In some localities chol-
era may not have appeared for
years, whereas erysipelas may be
a more or less recurring problem
Yet hog cholera can jump over
wide distances very unexpectedly.
And, when that happens, the
farmer who makes a quick con-

Sound Agricultural Policy
Outlined by Bausman

Four essentials of a sound ma
tional agricultural policy were list
ed by DR.. r. o. Bausman, head of
the University of Delaware's De-
partment of Agricultural Econom-
les, speaking at the Delaware
Bankers Agricultural Credit Clinic
held last week in Newark.
DIR. Bausman believes that an
agricultural policy should provide
first for high level of production;
second, for high level of con-
sumption; third, allow free flow
of farm products through the
channels of trade; and fourth, con-
serve our economic resources.
In analyzing the Agricultural
Act of 1949, DR.. Bausman pointed
out that it does not encourage a
high level of production or con-
sumption. 1t does not allow foods
to flow freely through the channels
of trade, but instead, the high
prices retard full consumption. 1t
does not conserve our land, labor,
equipment and capital and doesn't
allow for the production of the
kinds and amounts of foods the
consuming public wants. Quantities
of foods have been either destroyed
or used for low grade purposes
such as livestock feed.
A workable program incorporat-
ing the four essential features is
possible, says DR.. Bausman. He ad-
vocates that such a. program be
limited to depression periods. Dur
ing normal times price supports
should be low enough to be inef-
fective because they would be be-
low the market price.
Farm prices should be allowed to
fall to the market level, and farm
ers be paid the difference between
the average market price and sup
port price through production pay
ments. Price supports based on the
probable supply and demand for the
coming year are urged by DR.. Baus-
man, who believes these forward
support prices would be more ac-
curate than if based on some per-
iod in the past.
High level of agricultural pro-
duction must be maintained, for we
are going to need all the food we
can produce to feed our increasing
population, plus the overseas de-
mand for food when foreign pur-
chasing power is restored.
In general, concludes DR.. Baus-
man, what is needed is adjusting
agricultural production-more of
some foods and less of others-not
a general reduction in production.

Maybe it was Robinson Crusoe
who first said the gold on desert
island was without use. In any
case, Daniel de Foe reported Crusoe
as making a statement of that
kind.
So far as buying power goes, the
statement is true-provided that
only one man happened to be on
the island. Gold, however, could
be used on a desert island for other
purposes than buying things. After
being heated, it could be beaten or
nodded into shape and could be
used for making tools, cups and
so on.
One trouble with pure gold is
that it is rather soft. Unless there
is an alloy in it, the things made of
it will fail to last very long.
If ! had to stay on a desert
island for 10 years, I think should
choose a ton of pure iron instead
of a ton of pure gold-provided
that I had, or could make, a forge.
With forge, all manner of strong
tools could be produced from iron.

Pronunci4 4tion Clinic.

Q. Won't you please settle the
question of which syllable to accent
in the word allies?-M. S.
| A. Until recent years the die
tionaries sanctioned the second
syllable accent only for the verb
and noun ally, and for the adjective
allied, as: uh-LY, UTILIZED. But in
actual speech, the noun has received
the accent on the first syllable,
thus: AL-eye, singular, AL-eyes,
plural.
Most modern dictionaries give full
sanction to the first-syllable accent
for the noun-indeed, it is the first
choice Of the American College Die
tionary. Kenyon and Knott's Pro-
nouncing Dictionary, and Grosset
and Dunlap's Words: The New Die
tionary. It is the second choice Of
Webster's New international, Web

AS neat a case of sticking your
hand in some ones pocket as has
ever come to my attention is re-
corded in today's anecdote. 1t was
cleaned from Vests good time
book" and is a souvenir of which
he may well be proud. His restraint
during the auction was commend
able and his choice of opening leads
was gem.
The bidding by South and North
left nothing to be desired. The
exchange of information was very
accurate and the final slam con-
tract was as sound as it was ILL
fated. South naturally opened with
one spade and North responded
with two clubs. The other f1ve-card
major was then shown and North,
having a good opening bid himself
jumped to game in hearts. This was
good news to South, whose fears
concerning the trump suit were
somewhat allayed. He invited the
slam by bidding five clubs and
North showed that he too was in
terested in big things by showing
the ace of diamonds. This in con-
nection with North's previous
strong bidding persuaded South
that his partner held at least one
of the high honors in hearts and he
felt the gamble for the slam was a
good one, which indeed it was.
A child of impulse, occupying the
West seat, would have doubled the
contract in the belief that the de-
clarer must hold the king of
trumps, but West had his ear tuned
to North's vigorous bidding, par
ticularly the jump to four hearts,
and felt that it was not at all un-
likely that the dummy would show
up with the king of that suit. After
all, jack-high suits are bid very
freely these days.
Now for the opening lead. The
defense could hardly hope for any
tricks in the side suits, because
dummy must hold a fairly good
club suit on which diScards will be
obtained. West barged forth with
the ace Of hearts. Everybody fol-
lowed and the deuce of hearts came
next. Declarer came UP with the
king and school was out.
Vests lead risked nothing. Had
the dummy shown up minus the
king of hearts, West would care
fully place the rest of his trumps
in his vest pocket and select a
card at random for his next lead,
sure of taking the setting trick
with the queen of trumpS. But
when the king appeared in dunn
my. strategy called for the con-
tinuation of the suit because de-
clarer would probably not play
him for both the ace and the
queen. Had declarer been left to
his own devices he would no doubt
have made the proper percentage
play, which is to flnesse the jack,
with the hope that it would drive
out the ace.
