Mrs Keen overlook with>the ace
and ran three more tricks in the
suit to defeat the contract.
When there are no important
cards on the board it is almost
always best to play third hand
high to your partners lead
against a no-trump contract.
However, the setup Of the dia-
mond suit in this particular deal
represented an exception. If Mr.
Muzzy had played the king at
trick one Miss Brash would have
been guided into the only play
for her contract.
On the jack Of diamonds re-
turn at trick two she would
have played the nine. If Mrs
Keen then overlook with the ace
the queen would be set up. If she
did not overtake the jack would
hold, but diamonds could not be
continued because Mr.. Muzzy
would be out Of the suit.
On this line Of play Miss Brash
would have been able to win at
least three clubs, two hearts and
four spades for game.

please discuss?-Mrs. j. w.

derivatives. use the short 81" as
in did, digit" Say: di-JEST,
di-JESS-chun. IN-di-JESS- chun.
In the noun digest "a compila-
ton; a publication. such as The
Readers Digest. etc.,. accent the
first syllable which rhymes with
by, N.Y." thus: DY-jest.

pronounced: choo-R E Egg err
ESK.
Fresno: What, exactly, is a

"A good idea," said Mr.. Muzzy,
firmly.
The cause Of this exchange
was a beautiful, if unconscious,
defensive play by Mr., Muzzy.
When he sorted his hand he
got the king of diamonds mixed
in with his hearts. AS it hap
pened this error served him
very well. Mrs. Keen opened the
five Of diamonds and Mr.. Muzzy
played the jack, believing it to be
the only diamond he had.
Miss Brash. who had visions
of losing the first five tricks, was
delighted to win with her queen,
At trick two she led the jack OF

won with the king and it was at
this point that he noticed he had
the king of diamonds.
Wait a minute, these cards

Crop Insurance
Now Available

You might think that we are
jumping the gun a bit by talk
ing about insurance on the 1856
crop, but actually, so far as the
Federal All-Risk Crop Insurance
is concerned, it isn't. If you were
covered last year, you are auto
matically covered for 1856. If you
were not covered in 1855, you
would do well to be doing some
thinking about it. In the past,
March 81 has been the deadline
to accept applications for insur-
ance. This year, however, the
Corporation may, with no prior
notice, stop accepting applications.
While there is no indication that
this will happen this year, there
is also no evidence that il won't.
If the corporation should stop
applications without further no.
tice, anyone who hasn't already
signed a 1856 application would
simply be out for the present year
or perhaps longer depending up
on the reasons for stopping the
acceptance of applications. Fed
eral Crop Insurance in RichIand
county applies only to the pro-
duction on wheat (both hard and
so, if you are not pres
emily covered, it might be a good
idea to get all of the details on
the provisions of the program at
once, from Ray N. Whiting, your
Agent.

County Plans
Active Weed
Control Program

The reorganized county weed
committee unanimously decided
at a meeting this past week to
launch an all out effort for the
creation of an organized Legal
Weed District in Richland coun-
ty. This action was prompted by
the fact that various agriculture
groups and organizations have
listed noxious weeds the number
one agriculture production prob
lem in the county. The group
felt that organized effort is re-
quired to keep the weed situation
from getting out of hand.
1t was brought out at Mondays
meeting that the 1851 Montana
Weed Law provides that a legal
weed district can be created in
a county or any designated por-
ton of the county if land owners
owning 51% of the agricultural
land within the district give writ
ten consent to its formation. Legal
authority is provided for the con-
troll of weeds on public lands such
as county roads, highway, rail-
roads, irrigation bitches, ETC.; and
also private lands.
Immediate plans made by the
committee consist of an all out
International program on weed
control during the later part of
February and the first part of
March. Various members of the
committee will explain the weed
district setup at the Town and
Country Institute and at COM
munity agriculture meetings
which have been planned by the
various agriculture agencies and
services in the county during
March.
Elected to serve as officers of
the committee are Arthur Ander-
son of Sioux Pass, chairman; and
Volney Andersen of Sidney, vice
chairman. Dean Davidson, county
extension agent, will serve as
secretary for the committee. Mem
bers of the committee attending
Mondays meeting besides Arthur
Anderson and Volney Andersen
were: Lester McMillen, Sterling
Swigart, and Elmer Jensen all of
Sidney; Oscar Kvaalen, Lambert;
Berthe Wind and Don Price both
of Savage; Lloyd Ludington, Fair
view, and Raymond Ruffatto of
Brockton. Elmer Sorensen, chair
man of the Sidney Chamber of
Commerce Agriculture committee
also attended the meeting as
weed control was designated as
one of the main projects of the
Chamber committee this year.
