Uncle Ruy's Corner

When the weather bureau reports
an inch of rain has fallen in q Ger
tain storm, it hardly sounds like
very much. Before you decide, how
ever, that such rain amounts to
little, I suggest you do some figuring.
A square foot Of land has IA
square inches. # the rain amounts
to one inch, it means q fall of IA
cubic inches on q square foot, or
two and q half quarts Of water.
To find the number Of square
feet in a mile, you multiply $3.50
by $3.50. The result will be well up
in the millions. Multiply two and
half quarts by that figure and you
will learn the number Of quarts OF
water in rainfall Of one inch on
one square mile.
I have done this, and have found
that one inch of rainfall on a square
mile means the downpour Of enough
quarts to make more than IL mill
lion gallons.
The soil drinks up much of the
rain, and rivers carry q great deal
to the sea. Otherwise there would
be many floods.
Various parts Of the earth differ
widely In the amount Of yearly
rainfall. A desert area may have
less than one inch in q year. Else
where the yearly fall may run from

two inches to 100 inches, or even
more.
The Assam area Of India is
spoken Of as "the wettest part Of
the world" In one year it had a
record rainfall Of 805 inches.
Cherra Punji, in Assam. has the
record for rainfall in single month.
Ninety-on years ago, during the
month OF July. 366 inches Of rain
fell.
Nothing to match such rainfall
can be found in North or South
America. Most parts OF the United
States and Canada have from 20
to 40 inches q year, but there are
places Arizona. for example-with

Troublesome Twins: Uninterested
-disinterested. While both words

further shade Of difference In that
uninterested implies mot having

uninterested in outdoor sports" Dis
interested implies freedom from a
selfish motive; unprejudiced; i'm
partial" as, "His advice was fair
and disinterested." Writers, espe-
cially, will do well to preserve this
distinction, else the valuable word
"disinterested" may come to lose its
precise meaning.
Perspicacity - perspicuity. Per-

Contract BRIDGE

It Is very commendable to look
ahead In the play Of the hand. but
this should not be done at the ex-
pense Of a careful study Of your
play at the first trick. Mr.. Abel
discovered this fact, too late, in

The bidding:

! diam'd Pass 2 clubs Pass
2 diam'ds Pass 2 spades Pass
3 clubs Pass Mt All pass
Mr.. Meek opened the six Of spades
In spite Of the spade bid on his
right. Vaguely, Mr.. Abel noted that
he had the suit pretty well bottled
up.
He had two winners and possibly
three in each of the red suits. Ap-
parently it was not a question of
whether the contract could be made,
but only Of how many extra tricks
could be garnered.
Carelessly then, Mr.. Abel played
the four Of spades from dummy
and won in his own hand with the
nine. He wasn't worried about
spades. In fact, he wasn't worried
at all. At trick two he entered dunn
my with the ace Of diamonds and
led back the jack Of clubs.
The four went on from his right
and he stopped to try and guess the
location of the outstanding honors.
If Mr.. Dale had started with the
A 4 doubleton, the right play was
to go up with the king and lead a
club back.
The ace and queen would then
drop together. Mr.. Abel thought
of this and several other combina-
tions, but finally decided to let the
Jack ride.
Mr.. Meek won with the queen and
returned the king of spades. 1t
wasn't until this point that Mr..
Abel saw the danger he was in. He
won with the ace of spades and led
another club, hoping desperately
that the ace was in Mr.. Dale'S hand.
But Mr.. Meek held that card and
he won and ratified off three spade
tricks to put the contract down one.
whats the use of my having
good cards if you don't use them,
Abel?" asked Mr.. Champion. "Why
not win the first trick with my ten
of spades? Then you'd have two
more stops in the suit regardless of
how they played"
We'll, with seven spades in our
two hands, including ace, jack, ten
and nine, didn't see how they
could possibly hurt U.S." Mr.. Abel
replied.
That's what I'm kicking about"
snapped Mr.. Champion. "You should
have seen. You were gloating about
the extra tricks you were going to
make In clubs and you forgot about
spades entirely"

teresting figures. Where there was
adequate space only 2 chicks were
lost out of 100 up to 81 days. While
in the case of crowded chicks 51s died
Out Of every 100 in 81 days. It seems
TO me pretty poor economy to buy
good chicks and then give them SO
little chance to live.
We found that the poultryman
purchasing 1000 chicks or over
very seldom kept his chicks under
crowded conditions. He is in the
business. The greatest offenders
were those buying about 300. They
put the chicks in the house that they
had built to accommodate 100 and
thought that they could get by with
the greater number.
Feeder and water space is also inn
portant to the health and Inability
of the chicks. They should be given
at least / linear inch of feeder space
UP until six weeks and then the
space should be doubled. Three gal
Ions of water should be provided for
each 100 chicks up to six weeks.
After that the capacity should be
doubled.
Help With Survey
1 was talking to Mr.. John M. Fer
guson, executive secretary for the
Montana Poultry Improvement
board, and was telling him about
this article which 1 was going to
write and also told him that we are
going to rerun the chick mortality
project. He was very much inter-
ested and wondered if we could not
have a form included with the ar
ticle so that some of our Montana
Farmer-Stockman readers could also
avail themselves of the project.
These are the reasons he can help
you. Suppose that we get records
from a number of people that are
getting their chicks from a good re-
liable hatchery but are having heavy
losses. He can contact the hatchery
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-03-01

and see just how they are sending
them. He may be able to help this
hatchery correct its transportation
difficulties.
On the other hand, if a lot of peo-
pie are having difficulty with a par
ticular hatchery and it does not seem
to be the pou1tryman's fault, Mr..
Ferguson can contact the supervisor
of the plan in the state from which
the chicks originate and can get
something done about it.
So following his suggestion, am
adding form which I wish as many
as possible would fill out after 81
days and send to either Mr.. Ferguson
or to me- You will be helping your
self as well as the other poultry
growers Of the state.
