You should now forget all
about making an extra trick and
take every possible precaution to
make your contract.
This advice is so simple and
logical, it may seem unnecessary
to mention it. Yet the kind of
play Mr.. Muzzy was guilty of in
today'S deal is not unknown to
most of you.
Mr.. Dale gave much thought
to his opening lead and finally
decided on his lone spade. Mr..
Muzzy crowed with delight as he
won with dummy's ace. You
could have got one trick" he
said, referring, of course, to the
heart.
He now set out to win all the
tricks. His plan was to lead to
his ace of diamonds, then return
diamond to dummy's queen.
That would undoubtedly pick up
all the trumps and the spade
suit would then give him all the
discards he needed.
But on the first diamond lead
Mr.. Champion showed out, dis
carding the nine of hearts.
Frowning, Mr.. Muzzy led a dia-
mond to the queen and played
the king of spades, discarding his
four of hearts. Mr.. Dale ruffed
and returned a heart. Mr.. Muzzy
trumped this and ran his dia-
monds. But at the end he had
to lose two more tricks for
down two.
Such luck" complained Mr..
Muzzy. "All the trumps in one
hand"
Your partner is the only un-
lucky one in this DEAL" remarked
Mr.. Champion. "She had to sit
there and watch you louise up a
laydown slam"
How could I make it with
Dale having a singleton spade?"
Mr.. MuzZy asked.
For a little insurance policy
costing a mere 20 points, you
could have guaranteed the whole
thing" Mr.. Champion replied.
"At trick two, just lead an
other high spade off the board
and pitch your heart.
IF it gets ruffed, you can win
any return and now, unless it's
q faulty deck, there would be
only two trumps out against you.
You could take two rounds of
diamonds ending with dummy'S
queen and discard your two los
ing clubs on the queen and jack
of spades"

Farm Price Outlook
Is Conference Topic

The current farm price squeeze
will keynote the 31st annual Agri-
cultural Outlook Conference next
week in Washington, d. c.
From October $3.50, farm and
home economists from the Univer-
sity of Delaware will take part in
this Department of Agriculture
meeting of state and federal Exten-
sion Services, the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, and the Bu
reau of Human Nutrition and Home
Economics.
Attending from Delaware will be
DR.. R. o. Bausman, William E.
Mcdaniel and w. T. McAllister, of
the UniVersity's department of ag
ricultural economies; and Miss
Louise R. WhitcOmb, extension
home management specialist.
According to DR.. Bausman, farm
people are caught in the middle of
the "cOst-price squeeze" During
the past two and half years, ag-
TicultuTal prices have fallen II per
cent, while farm costs have drop
ped only four per cent. This situ-
alton will be studied and interpret
ed by outlook conference speakers.
Homemakers are anxious to keep
up the high standards of family liv-
ing enjoyed the past few years, be-
lieves Miss WhitcOmb High living
costs are making it necessary to
weigh each purchase carefully to
stay within the family budget Out
look information, with its price and
supply estimates of family living
items, will help the women make
sOunder financial plans.
Among outlook topics listed for
discussion are agricultural exports,
domestic demand, farm and family
financial adjustments, and prob
lens facing various commodity
groups such as poultry and live
stock. Rural family living outlook
will center on food, clothing and
household textiles, farm housing
and family financial security.

Fall A Good Time
For Home Paintings

Does fall weather give you the
itch" TO landscape your home
grounds?
It's best to plant trees and
shrubs in the fall, says Robert F.
Stevens, extension horticulturist
for the University of Delaware. But
before setting out a single bush
take time to draw up landscap-
ing plan. THAT way, you won't
have to move some plants a few
years from nOw," Stevens ex-
plains.
The specialist suggests making
scale drawing of the home grounds
as they are now, showing location
and size of house, garage, walks,
drives. existing trees, shrubs and
gardens.
Next, divide the grounds into
three areas; public, service and
private. The public area, between
the house and street, should focus
attention on the house, by means
of an open lawn, a foundation
planting to blend the house and
landscape, and a few trees for
framing and shading.
The service area includes the
garage, drive, clothes yard, vege-
table garden. tool shed and fruit
trees. Shrubs and trees will screen
this space from the public eye.
The private area, sometimes call
ed the outdoor living room, might
include a patio, flower garden,
children's play space and a large,
open lawn. Paintings should shut
off this area from the others, and
also provide shade and color.
Choosing the right paintings for
each location usually requires
some expert advice. Stevens sug-
gests consulting a local nursery
man, or studying publications on
ornamental trees and shrubs. Sew
eral such leaflets are available
from the Mailing Room, Agricul-
tural Hall, Newark, or from county
agents in Newark. Dover and
Georgetown.
