THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1930 on DEPRESSED PRICES ~ ONEWES TIMELY 70 STOCK ON WOOLLIES Head of Agricultural College Stresses Flocks as Source of Cash Twice a Year CREDIT EASILY OBTAINED! { | Federal Corporation Will Fi-| nance Down Payments and | Wool Will Provide Others * Fargo, N. D., Oct. 2—“If the rate| of increase in sheep population in this state during the past eight years is any indication, North Dakota seems destined io become one of the large | wool and mutton producing states outside the range belt.” This is the future of the sheep- raising business in North Dakota as Dr. J. H. Shepperd, president of the Agricultural college, sees it. “Since 1922 our sheep numbers) have increased more than 300 per cent, and, in the light of the present low prices at~ which breeding ewes | can be purchased, it seems logical to expect that this increase should con- tinue. “Sheep are selling at low prices this fall and no premi‘en is demanded for ewe lambs. This situation gives the man who wants to start a flock a chance to get the best of the ewe ldmbs at present market prites, as the owners are not generally saving ewe lambs for their flocks this season. | + Available at $5.50 Ahead | “The drouth which has fallen upon | many of our heavy sheep growing dis- | tricts in America is probably respon- sible for range ewe lambs so largely going to market, and also for yearling ewes being available at $5.50 per head.” Dr. Shepperd points out that about one-third of the sheep producing re- -gions of the United States have been hit by drouth tais year, which prob- | ably means no increase, but a possi- ble reduction, in the next two lamb crops and in the yield of wool. “I always like to go into any class of livestock when prices are low. for two reasons—it costs less to make the start, and one can buy good founda- tion stock which the owner will not part with when times are better,” Dr. Shepperd declares.

This is a forcing bid and requires partner to keep the bidding open. West should pass. As North holds only pne high card trick—the ace of hearts —he must respond with two no trump to definitely tell his partner that the hand does not contain two high card tricks. East passes, South bids three spades. This informs his partner that his hand contains at least five spades. North would then take the contract to four spades as he holds three spades and one trick. This would close the contracting. The Play and as it is headed with the king- queen, the king is opened, East: plays the seven, an encouraging card, de- ‘is the ten of The club suit is West's strongest, , clarer the five. West’s proper return is a small club which East wins with the ace, declarer playing his last club, the jack. East’s best return is the three of clubs. Naturally South is going tp trump. With which spade would you trump this club? If you are careless and trump with either the three or the nine, of spades, you cannot go game. The declarer must reason that there is only one entry in dummy—the ace of hearts—and if East should hold four spades to the king he must be in a position to pick up that king of spades Therefore the trick should be trumped with the jack of spades. ‘The declarer leads the three of] ~~~ hearts which is won in dummy with the ace of hearts. The dummy’s play jpades which East re- fuses to cover, playing the deuce. De- clarer must again be careful and play the nine spot under the ten. West plays his singleton seven of spades. The eight spot is led from dummy. East again refuses to cover, playing the five. It is easy to see how valu- able a card the three spot is to the (declarer as it permits him to leave the lead in the dummy. The four jof spades is led from dummy, East | plays the six and declarer the queen. |The declarer then leads the ace of | spades, picking up the king of spades in the East hand. The king and queen of hearts are both good and his ace and king of diamonds. He must lose one dia- mond trick, but he has made his con- tract of four spades which would impossible if he had trumped the third club lead low.

Grain Will Provide Feed “Roughage is scarce in North Dako- ta this year but grain is plentiful and cheap so that the stockman who will use judgment can carry a little flock of ewes through in good condition by adding a small amount of grain feed to the roughage which can be had. “A flock of 50 ewes will soon put a good band of sheep on a farm if they are given good care. A sheep does not need so much care but he The sheep flock brings two crops each year, the wool in the spring and needs it when he needs it.” Farmers can borrow money to buy — farm foundation flocks at 6% per cent interest on a three-year plan of payment from the Agricultural Credit corporation. “This company requires a down pay- ment of 20 per cent, which figures out about $1.30 per head for yearling ewes. The balance can then be paid 30 per cent the first year, 30.per cent the second year and 40 per cent the third year. If ewe lambs are bought, a somewhat easier basis of payment is made so as to make allowance for only the one crop, the wool, the first year. $35 Will Start Band “It figures out that one can buy 50 A quality you would want * . f you knew all of the Facts about coffee them, if you knew more of the 1” per cent the third year. ewe lambs this fall for a down pay- ment of about $35 and pay the bal- ance as follows: 20 per cent the first year, 40 per cent the TYPHOID IS TRACED TQ SEWAGED DAIRY second year and “Our extension ‘specialists and county agents will help those inter- ested to secure a flock by aiding them | / examinations were made, 318, rela- cultures, 4 positive, 18 nega- and Dr. R.
