D., by Tom Neilson, manager. ‘This phrase probably best expresses the sentiment of farmers regarding the present’ prices being paid at county points of anything that could be written, the weekly agricultural review of the Farmers Union Termi- nal association says. “Accompanying the phrase,” the review says, “was & list of prices being paid at that station, which is repre- sentative of western North Dakota. The prices per bushel were: No. 1 dark northern wheat, 56 cents; No. 1 durum wheat, 40 cents; flax, $1.45; rye, 24; barley, 25; oats 19. “The ‘don’t faint’ phrase describes the attitude of the farmer. Bewilder- ment and amazement that prices for grains should sink to the low levels they have reached are expressed by the growers. There is less of bitter- ness than bewilderment. “At another elevator, shipping to a private grain commission firm and not a cooperative, was written, ‘Hoover prosperity standing on one as indicative of the bitterness of the battle with the cooperatives for the. grain business. ‘ Sold Below Cost “A 2000-mile trip te grain elevators of Minnesota, ‘Montana and the Da- kotas indicated that farmers are sell- ing only as much whcat as they are forced to sell. They are storing on farms, in local elevators and at term!- nals to a larger extent than ever be- fore. However, many are forced to sell their wheat at any price they can get to pay up labor and store bills and taxes. “In some cases farmers have hauled their grain to the local elevator, looked over the ,prices, and hauled their grain back ‘to the farm. One man paid a combine harvesting bill of $195" for’ 130 acres of wheat near Sanish at an extremely low combine rate of $1.6C aa acre and received $105 for the wheat from that land. He would have saved $90 by tot:ching & match to the gran or turning’ live- stock to, feéd in it, but had a largex ylelay ‘TRis:te-an ¢ case, but-not: :nuswidin some of western North Dakota and Mon- tana. “This argument wag put up to one farmer: ‘Farmers are not the only ones suffering from poor Telatively as low as wheat. you think that industry has suffered @s much?

MCKENNEY (Secretaty American Bridge League) It is rather unusual to find the ae- clarer bidding a no trump when his opponents have bid two different suits, but an example of this vartic- ular type of hand is given below. In the article dealing with leads against a no trump declaration when partner has bid, the first exception to leading the top of your partner's cuit stated that if your partner supported your suit and you are weak in his, you should open your own suit. NORTH The Bidding South started the contracting with one diamond, At auction some play- ers with West’s hand would bid one no trump, but at contract the double is better as it shows partner at least three and one-half high card tricks. North bids one heart, informing his partner he holds one and one-half high card tricks. East would pass, South would carry his partner's bid to two hearts. West now boldly tries two no trump, which closes the con- tracting.
