A bad break OF the cards may
sometimes prove to be fun in dis
guise. Many a hand which under
normal conditions would be mere
profit taker" and be relegated to
the limbo of forgotten things, after
the recording of the score, becomes
o colorful memory, when a bad
distribution requires you to fall back
on all your ingenuity to bring home
the contract.
When the dummy was spread in
today's hand, South began to re-
buke himself for the display Of
impatience in the auction. At the
moment he was remorseful over his
failure to contract for a grand slam.
However, as the cards lay, declarer
was called upon to deliver a nimble
performance in order to fulfill the
small-slam contract.
The queen of hearts was opened
and taken by. the king The ace Of
spades was led first,so that if either
opponent held q single honor the
restSo the suit could be picked up
on a finesse. When West failed,
declarer's plans had to be revised
and he saw that his best chance to
make the hand was on crossruff.
He caShed the ace of hearts and
then followed with three rounds of
diamonds, discarding heart from
his own hand. Dummy's low heart
was then ruffed with the six of
spades. The ace and queen Of clubs
were then taken In and the five Of
diamonds led from dummy. East
was now reduced to nothing but
trumps and on this play was obliged
to play the 10 Of spades. Had he
failed to do so South would have
made his 18th trick at once with
the eight of trumps. Declarer
simply overruffed with the queen
and the eight Of spades forced out
East's only trump winner.

Giant clam

Giant Clam.
CLANS three feet long with a valve
spread of two feet, can rlghtfully
be claimed giants among then
tribe. These mammoth fellows are
abundant on Pixie Reef, part OF
the Great Barrier Reef of Aus
tralia which stretches for 1900
miles along the eastern coast of
Queensland. At low tide hundreds
of these fellows, some weighing as
much as 400 pounds, pose hazards
to those exploring the reefs.
With their valves ajar, any one
making a misstep is likely to find
his angle in a vise-like grip. Un-
less he has a chisel or crowbar
handy he will be held prisoner un-
til high tide, when the clam re-
leases his hold for better fishing.
The immediate response to pres
sure by the valves is the only ex-
planation for the rapid closing OF
Islamming of the great bivalves, be-
cause the clam lives on plankton
Il The shells of the clam are very
thick and strong, the two huge valves
fconnected at the base by an elastic
5ligament sometimes six inches ir
diameter, this muscle opens anc

Words To Watch.

Diabetes, say some of the dc
tionaries, should be pronounced:
DY-uh BEE teez. Have you ever
used that pronunciation? No? Well,
don't let it worry you, for DY-uh-
Bee-teez is pronunciation that
occurs seldom.
The pronunciation DY-uh-Bee-
tiss Is the first choice of the newer
and more realistic dictionaries. 1t
is the only pronunciation listed in
my forthcoming dictionary.
Caffeine is listed as a hree-syllable
word by most dictionaries. But the
Standard American pronunciation
Is KAFF- zen, as anyone with ears to
hear with can attest. feel sure that
"KAFF-i-in" or "KAFF-i-ine" would
be q stophght Of first magnitude.
Better say: KAFF-een.
There Is no those" in hosiery.
The second syllable is "zhuh," thus:
HOE-zhuh-ree.
@. Should the "a" in the word
tassel have the sound of "ah"?
I A. No. The "a" is fiat. Better
say: TASS-ul.
/ Watch the word recognize. Not
REX -uh-nize." Sound the "g,"
{ thus: REX-ug-niZe.
In Greek mythology, Terpsichore
LIS the muse that. presides over

are often referred to as Terpsicho-

high-fown usage. Terpsichore is:
p-SIK-uh-ree Terpsichorean is:

the way, is: DEV-uh-TEE.
A tarpaulin Is q waterproof canvas.
The frequently heard 4'tahr-POLE-
yum" has no sanction. Better say:
tahr-PAWL-in.
@. What Is the origin of the word
autopsy, and how do you pronounce
it?
t A. Say: AW-tup-see; or, less
frequently: AW-top-see.
While autopsy is used to designate
the inspection by dissection of a
dead body. the literal meaning of
the word is neither repellent nor
gruesome. Autopsy Is from the
Greek autoptos, seen by oneself;
hence, the modern meaning, per-
sonal observation or examination

grass can be seeded any time dur
ing September or October. How
ever the crimson clover should
not be planted until about the
18th of October after plenty of
moisture is available. If it is
planted too early and it should
turn off hot and dry, much of it
will die. If rye grass is planted
1851, it should be turned under
on land that is to be cultivated in
early before a heavy sod is es-
tablished. After a heavy sod is
formed it is hard to kill and Gre
ates a problem to cultivate crops
to follow.
For the Delta area and in the
bottom land near the foot hills Of
the Delta, red clover win do as
well as ladino clover with fescue
and it grows we'll in these areas.
| Also, it does not bloat cattle like
white Dutch and ladino clover
does.
Everyone who has cattle to
carry through the winter should
plant one to.two acres of the above
crops for each COW. The seed will
be scarce and you should contact
your seed dealer and make ar
rangements to get the seed you
plan to plant Immediately.
Check with your PIMA office
and take advantage of the assis-
lance they can offer you.
Keep in mind that for the vari-
able soil types we have in Holmes
county there are grasses and le-
gumes that are best suited for
these various soils. If you r in
doubt as to the plants best adapt
ed to your farm, call on your Soil
Conservation District technician,
the County Agent or the Voca-
tional teacher in your area.

Destroy Cotton Stalks
1t pays to destroy cotton stalks
sa soon as the crop has been har-
vested. This will reduce both the
number and vigor of weevils GO
ing into Information.
Many cotton fields in the state
should be picked in time for
stalks to be destroyed 80 days or
more before the normal frost day.
A stalk cutter or moving ma
chine can be used to cut the
stalks, which will be left lying on
khe ground during the winter.
Where oats or winter cover
crops r to be planted cotton
stalks a be cut with a shread-
der, disked and plowed under.
Defoliation will cause weevils
to leave the field Immediately. 1t
also reduces the damage by all
cotton insects, such as lice, boil
worms, leaf worms and red spid-
er.
Cotton that has been defoliated
may put out a second crop of
leaves, which will afford breed
ing places for weevils. To prevent
this, destroy the stalks as soon

They seeded the pasture plants
best adapted to the particular area
being worked on. Oats were seed
ed at the rate of four bushels per
acre on both hill land and bottom

on the hill land on the oats, and
wild winter peas or white Dutch
clover was seeded with the oats
on the bottom land.

have cotton good grazing from
fescue grass and ladino clover
planted on bottom land. The ex.
periments have shown that fescue
grass with ladino clover is as good
grazing for cattle as oats with a
clover. It has the advantage Of
oats in that it is a perennial and
once planted all you have to do
is apply the necessary fertilizer
each fall. The oats and fescue
grass both need go pounds of nj
trogen applied each year for best
growth. However, the winter le-
gume will soon supply part or all
of the nitrogen needed for fescue.
For those who are unable to disc
the land they want to plant, they
should apply the fertilizer, plant
