The ap- Rointment was a surprise in farm circles.

Thompson's theory of tax reform looks toward equalization of the bur- den, now largely borne by reai estate, by taxing tangible property on its earning capacity rather than on its capital value. N.

We have reviewed this system and given the examples so that our readers may be fully in- formed on this convention when play- ing either with a partner who uses it or opponents that use it against them. The following hands show South with sufficient strength to make a two club arbitrary forcing bid, and as explained in previous articles, North must keep the bidding open until South has a chance to show his two real declarations. Tt happens in the following South hand that South has strength in clubs when he makes his two club forcing bid, but again let me remind you that this bid can be made with or without club strength. In the following examples, South's true declarations are no trump and hearts. Let us again assume that East and West always pass.

Mr. Straus queried approximately 2,000 men and women; 942 replied; 98 OF nore: no preference; 478 fe- vored Governor Roosevelt; 125 former Governor Alfred E. Smith; 73 Owen D.

Hand M In response to South's two club forcing bid, North must bid two dia- monds. South then shows his first teal declaration by bidding two no trump. North's proper response is three clubs—not because he has four clubs headed with the queen, but be- cause he is forced to keep the bidding open and three clubs is the cheapest response he can made to two no He would make this same response if his hand contained only one or two small clubs, South then shows his other true declaration and bids three hearts. North prefers this to no trump and goes to four hearts. ‘The writer suggests now that our feaders select various South hands containing eight probable tricks in which South has a choice between two suits or between a suit and n trump, and then deal out various North hands s0 that they may become thoroughly familiar with ‘this con- vention. ‘The writer wishes to state that while he does not advocate this two club arbitrary forcing bid, he feels that those who are interested in learning how to play contract should familiarize themselves with all of the various systems and then select for quills the one best suited to their gam: (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.)

These little wheel hoes are very effective for cultivating be- tween rows of lettuce, radishes, car- rots and the like, that are ordinarily planted rather close together. Leave Room for Cultivator In the larger garden it pays to plant almost everything in rows 30 to 36 inches apart, or in some cases, 42 inches apart, in order. to give plenty of room to get through with the cul- tivator. Where the land is bedded, cabbage, kale, cauliflower and oher crops of that character are often planted in rows only 30 inches apart, grit et for the larger crops like corn, (©1981, Laeenrr & Mrzes Tosucco Co.
