A. Yes, you are correct. The

Get Into Bidding
While It's Cheap

There are all sorts of good
arguments in favor of opening
the bidding light when you
have good distribution. One of
them is that if you don't get
into the bidding while it's
cheap, you may find yourself
frozen out at your next turn.

East South West North
Pass IA Pass a..
All Pass
Opening lead: Jack of clubs.
When this hand came along
in the third session Of the ma
tional open pair championship,
a few weeks ago, many of the
East players adopted a wait
and-see attitude. They waited,
but they didn't like what they
saw.
At four spades, South had an
easy time, losing only one club,
one diamond, and one heart.
That gave North-South a score
of 420 points, 100 for the tricks
and 300 for the non-vulnerable
game. In tournament bridge
each hand is scored separately,
so you get your bonus at once
for a uncomfortable game.)
But you can imagine the
conversation when East and
West discovered that they were
ice-cold for II tricks at hearts
or clubs.
Sound Opening Bid
East has a sound opening
bid by any reasonable standard.
He has more than his share of
aces and kings, more than his
share of playing strength, and
a two-suiter. A player who
waits for more must expect to
get left at the gate rather often.
When South opens the bid
ding with one spade, West
might overcall and thus save
the situation, but Vests over
call is not as safe as EaSt's
opening bid. You seldom get
massacred for opening the bid
ding light, especially when you
have good distribution; but
anybody who makes it q habit
to overcall vulnerable with
light hands should get meas
ured for a toupee. He's going
to need one.
Mind you. East probably won't
be allowed to play the game In
hearts or clubs even If he does
open the bidding. South should
sacrifice at five spades. But
then East West should get q
plus score of 100 points instead
of being minus 420 points. These
500-point swings have a way of
making a difference.
Daily Question
Partner opens with one heart,
and the next player bids one
spade. You hold:
40 0AQ9S6 oK5 %J1O84a
What do you say?
Answer: Bid three hearts.
Avoid bidding a topless club
suit in an auction that may
soon become highly COMPETE
tive. The double raise in hearts
will allow your partner to make
an intelligent decision If there
is a vigorous spade raise by the
next player.

Nov, the community can af-
ford an honest critique without
fearing that such criticisms will
be misconstrued as opposition
to good schools. I imply no cri-
ticism Of present policies or

animation Of current problems

pointees."
High Quality Education
Mr.. Brown cautioned that
further investments in educa-
ton should not be at the ex-
|penSe of other county services,
but suggested that the COM
munity will sanction added ex-
penditureS "if the School Board
demonstrates clearly in its
budget and its statement of
goals that funds are being used
effectively to buy high quality
education"
Arlington teachers consist
entity have opposed efforts to
establish ''merit-pay", contend
ing that it should be delayed
until basic salary scales are
raised to an adequate level.
However, the county board,
through its power Of appropria-
ton and its forthcoming ap-
pointment Of two school board
members, is in q position to ex-
ercise considerable influence
upon school policy.
The first reaction to the ideas
expressed yesterday may be-
come apparent when the school
board conducts its first hear
ing regarding the next budget
at 8 pm. tomorrow at Wash
ington-Lee High School.

Peck Reported Leaving
Arlington School Post

Peck's politics. considered his
offer magnanimous and ac-
cepted 1t. Mr.. Peck further rec
commended that his intentions
not be disclosed until after the
election so they would not be
construed as having anything
to do with politics, it was
learned.
The new school board mem
Der or members doubtless will
be chosen from the ranks Of
the Arlingtonians for a Better
County or will have records free
of hostility toward the nom
partisan coalition which con-
tinues to dominate county
politics.
In view of the boards inter-
est in gaining further informa-
ton and control concerning the
school budget. which represents
about half of the county's an
nual expenditures, the chances
that Mr.. Ecker-Racz will be
appointed seem good, though
he does not belong to ABC.
Fiscal Experience
A one-time teacher and a
former fiscal expert with the
Government, he is regarded as
an authority on budgets Of gov
ernmental agencies.
There has been considerable
sentiment, including some
within the ABC, favoring re-
tention of Mr.. Bean, generally
considered a moderate though
he was appointed four years
ago by a now-defunct conserv-
ative coalition.
However. his recent involve
ment in politics, first when his
picture appeared in a Repub-
lican campaign brochure. then
when he signed in an adver-
tisement indorsing the Demo-
cratic candidate, seems to have
diminished his chances for an
other term.
Mr.. Bean contended that he
did not intend that his photo
graph be used for political pur-
poses and that he was a con-
siStent supporter of the Demo-
Gratis.

Questions Asked
County Agent
On Soil Testing

What is a soil test? Many
people ask George Vapaa, Kent
county agricultural agent, this
question often.
A soil test is a scientific
method to determine the fertil-
ity needs of a particular area in
your field. A representative soil
sample is analyzed by chemical
means to determine the soil re-
action (pH), the magnesium,
phosphate, and potash content.
On the basis of results from
this soil analysis, lime, phos-
phate, and potash are recon-
mended. BY using fertilizer ac-
cording to re C o m mendations,
you will produce the highest
economical corn yields.
Why make soil tests?
Why should you check the oil

pie sent in is truly representa-
tive of the farm field, the re-
concentrations will correct any
d e fl c ciencies S and the result
should be an economical crop
yield.
However, soil testing does
not take into consideration the
fields physical condition, such
as. poor or excessive drainage
and hardpans. If these physical
factors are limiting plant grow
tn, fertilizing will not correct
them. Nor can testing change
other factors which may limit
crop yields, such as weather
conditions, insects, nematodes,
and diseases.
Soil testing is a valuable tool
if used properly and the result
interpreted correctly. 1t is the
best method to determine the

soil tube. If you use tube
you will need a bucket for
mixing the soil.
2. Taking the sample-a) how
to take the sample by SHOW
ell and spoon method:
Make a hole 5 to Z inches
deep with the shovel. Start
at bottom of hole with table
spoon and scrape up side of
hope. Put this in a pint box.
Do this at 20 points locat-
ed in zigzag pattern in area
being tested. At points 2, 8,
IL, 10, dig down into the SUBJ
soil and take subsoil sam
pie by scraping with the
spoon along the side of the
hole up to the line of the top
soil. Keep top-soil in one box
and the subsoil in another,
but keep them correctly la
beled.
By How to take sample with
soil tube:
Follow same steps as with
shovel method except that
you drop each core of soil
into a bucket. When you
have taken cores of soil al
the 20 points in zigzag pat
tern you mix them well ir
the bucket. Fill the pint car
ton, label it, and throw away
the rest of the soil in the
bucket.
3. Information sheet:
Fill out the information sheet
describing past cropping his
tory, previous lining and fertil
izing, type of crops to be grown
on fields tested, and all Other
information requested. The sol
testing laboratory must have
this information to determine
accurate lime and fertilizer re
concentrations.

know whether oil is needed. A
soil test is simply a fertility
gauge for your farm. 1t tells
you (D how much PHOSPHORUS
and potash you have in your
soil; (2) what grade and ratio
of fertilizer is needed; and (3)
how much phosphorus and pot
ash to use. 1t will also give you
the PHI of your soil and tell
you how much lime is needed.
How to take samples?
A soil test is accurate as the
sample sent to the soil testing
laboratory. Therefore, it is very
important that a representative
soil sample be made. Take at
least 20 samplings from scatter
ed areas over the field being
tested.
