The bidding:

! diamond Pass heart Pass
! spade Pass 2 diamonds Pass
2 Mt Pass 3 Mt ALI Pass
There were several points of in
terest in this hand" he said pomp-
ously. ''For example, look at Mrs.
Keen's first bid Of one heart on
three-card suit.
II think it was a very fine,
thoughtful bid. She knew I
wouldn't insist on hearts unless I
had four OF them. And If I didn't
insist. she knew there was always
safety in diamonds, since she had
ive cards in that suit"
Another Point.
Another point" Mr.. Champion
continued. Look at Mr.. South's
refusal to overcau with two-clubI
bid. True, he wouldn't have Jared
badly at that contract on this par
ticular deal-but only because Mr..
North happened to have excellent
club support and a singleton.
Anyway, a two-club overcall on
this hand would have been atrocious.
Muzzy had the South hand at the
other table. hope he didn't bid
two clubs"
"He did, though" commented Mr..
Muzzy.
Mr.. Champion looked disgusted.
Then he went on. "The next point
Of interest was Mr.. South's OPEN
ing lead. From his club holding,
should he lead the queen or>fourth
highest?
There is a new school which
recommends fourth highest, but I
can absolutely prove that the
proper lead is still the queen. OF
course, on this hand it made no
difference, as his partner had the
ace and ten.
Mr.. Dale Laughed.
"Well, how did you come out?"
asked Mr.. Dale.
II won the second club trick
with the king" Mr.. Champion re-
piled, lied a heart to the ace, then
cashed hve diamond tricks, watch
ing the discards very carefully.
Finally, I took the heart finesse
and made an easy nine tricks. What
did you and Muzzy do with the
North South cards?"
Mr.. Dale laughed. What you call
your points of interest,"" he said,
'.were stodgy compared to the flash
when we played the hand. We de-
Tended against three no-trump and
beat it three tricks!"
Let Mr.. Dale tell you in tomor-
rows column how this sensational
result was accomplished.

Just a few years ago, q new

ican gardeners. Today these
roses have found their way into
almost every yard and garden.
Their dependable growing quail

1t has the hardness, and the

|MuItifIoru Rose
Praised as Form
of Living Fence
By [. S. RudosilI
Wildlife Field Superintendent, Nd. Stose
Come and Inland Fish Commission


Come and Inland Fish Commission
The multiflora rose is one of the
most promising shrubs for farm
conservation use, wildlife cover
and erosion control.
It is a vigorous shrub reaching
a height Of 8 feet. The upper
branches recline in a long arch
the lower branches arch sideways
so that the plant consumes q
space from 8 to 10 feet when ma
ture. q
The thorns are vigorous and
when plants are spaced l foot
apart, an effective, stock-tight
fence can be had from three to
five years, depending upon site
preparation. treatment, and soil
conditions. Multifora rose is not
adapted to poorly drained soils
Pruning will not be necessary SO
long as the 8-foot space the hedge
consumes is acceptable.
In regard to recent criticisms
of the vigorous growing habit of
this plant, the following will an
swer questions concerning its
strong growing habit:
Frank Edminister, recognized
authority on the subject and chief
regional biologist for the Soil Con-
servation Service, says:
"Multifora rose is an aggressive
plant. Thatis one Of the charac-
teristics that has made it useful.
Every plant can spread; that
is the way plants work. I have
seen multifora rose spread, but
have never seen it spread in the
face Of good land management. "
The selection of multifora rose
plants is important. Be sure they
are the upright, ,thorny type, which
has less spreading ability than
some of the strains horticulturists
have been using for understood.
There have been thousands Of
multifora rose plants established
in Montgomery and Frederick
Counties. To my knowledge, none
have spread when ordinary farm
ing operations are carried out. The
fact is that sod. grazing, moving
or cultivation keeps 1t from
spreading. i
A good local example is found
on the Thurmont Conservation
Club grounds near Frederick.
Planted primarily for wildlife
habitat Improvement on a con-
tour between strips of orchard
grass and clovers, the only land
management carried out has been
moving the strips once o year.
After six years, there Is no evil
dence Of spreading.
Multifora rose offers many as
sets to farmers and landowners.
The greatest practical value is a
maintainence free fence and as a
first rate wildlife cover area.

Tl1ot Come Too Close to Her Nest

dignified to shove her neighbor.
They sit quietly. perhaps washing
their faces in preparation for
supper. They will purr q bit, too,
just to let you know they are in
the proper spirit to enjoy their
meal.
Now. over in another corner OF
the stall, bantam hen has taken
up housekeeping and is presiding
over seven eggs.
Shy to the point Of wildness at
other times, she now has turned
into a ferocious creature. Her
tone of voice is one that gives you
to understand she will tolerate no
foolishness. and the cows respect
her by munching their hay not
too close to hre nest.
The other night when I started
my milking ! noticed the hen was
OF the nest. Out taking her daily
constitutional to keep her fit for
her coming duties.
When she came back into the
stall she became quite indignant
over the presence there of five
cats. She began to fluff out her
feathers and scold in an irritated
voice. When the cats paid her no
attention. she became more indig-
nant and finally flew at them in
q rage.
I have never before seen so
many surprised cats. They hesi-
tated for an instant. trying to
decide what this was all about.
Then they turned tail and re-
treated in complete disorder.
After her victory the hen
|smoothed her feathers, clucked a
time or two. and proudly walked
over and hoped into her nest.
The cats, rather Sheepishly I
thought. came struggling back
into their corner. where they
waited until I poured out their
milk.

March is most unpredictable
month. An old farmer I once
knew always carried his overcoat
on the plow handles when he was
breaking a field in March.
You never can tell, he would
Isay. whether it will snow or freeze
before you can turn q furrow
around the field.
] thought sure I would get the
garden plowed early this year.
The ground was just right. but
II waited a day too long. OF
course, you know it showed, and
now I'll do well if I get the ground
prepared by planting time.
