2 WEGENER THEORY 1S ONE EXPLANATION OF SHOCKS AT MANAGUA Many Scientists Believe That All Land Was Part of One Continent Once SPLIT BY EARTH’S ROTATION Wearing Down of Mountains Believed to Disturb Balance of Land Network Washington, April 9—(?)—Gradual “drift” of North and South America westward may be the. underlying cause of the earthquake that destroy- ed Managua, Nicaragua. ? Father -F.., W.. Sohon, seismologist at Georgetown university, explains that many scientists believe the Rocky and Andes mountains were folded upward by resistance to the Pacific ocean mass to the westward “drift” of the continents. These mountain ranges and the mountain chain that connects them across Central America still are in process of being uplifted, according to this theory. Earthquakes usually accompany this uplifting process. All One Continent The so-calleti “Wegener theory” holds that all the continents once were part of one great continent, per- haps near the south pole. The force of the earth’s rotation, according to this theory, split this single centinent into several smaller ones, which grad- ually moved away to their present positions and still are moving. As North, South and Central Amer- ica drifted westward, they mei resist- ance from the great mass of the Pa- cific ocean. The crust of the conti- nents was folded up into mountains against this resistance it is believed. ‘The rock mass of the continents offsets the rock mass under the ad- jacent ocean, so the two are in bal- vance. The pressure upon the heavy basalt rocks believed to underlie oceans and continents is the same, because the weight of the rock masses above is the same. Mountains Worn Down Wind and weathering wears down the mountain tops, however, and this disturbs the balance. Pressure of the basalt rocks beneath the ocean is greater than the pressure beneath the land. .Some of the rock under the ocean is forced to “flow” over be- neath the land, where pressure is less. This forces the lighter rocks of the mountain ranges upward and restores the balance, says Father Schon. Sometimes there is friction in the upward movement of the mountains. strains accumulate, then suddenly are released. The resulting shock is an earthquake. The earth’s crust in some places is divided into great blocks. Tie lines of division between the blocks ar: known as “faults.” One or more of these blocks may be pushed up separ- ately by the forces below. Water pipes, railroad tracks or paved roads that cross such a fault line may be broken when one block is lifted higher than the other. In gen- eral earthquakes are more likely to occur near fault lines. PASTURE ROTATION IS URGED BY EXPERT Successive Crops Should Be Sown Successively Four to Five Weeks Apart Sowing large acreages of pasture crops on clean ground at successive dates four to five weeks apart makes possible rotation of pastures and avoids overgrazing, according to H. L. Walster, chief agronomist of the North Dakota agricultural experi- ment station. This practice also makes possible a longer pasture sea- son, he says. Oats is the best crop because of its high yielding ability and palatability. ‘Mid-season or late oats sown at a rate of two and one-half bushels per acre as early as the land can be fitted is recommended. Six pecks of winter rye per acre should be sown at the same time on a separate area. With a cool season the rye may be ready for pasture first, while if the season is very warm the oats probably will be ready for pasturing first. Which ever crop is ready first should be pastured when four and five inches high. After grazing the first crop for a few weeks the livestock may be turned onto the other. About four to five weeks after the first seeding of oats has been made, a second seeding should be put in. “For late summer pasture in east- ern North Dakota seed common white sweet clover on clean land without a nurse crop, using 12 to 15 pounds per acre; begin pasturing this crop about Aug. 15 or a little later,” Dr. Walster suggests. This sweet clover is not likely to stand the succeeding winter, however.

McKENNEY i Secretary American Bridge League The following hand was also se-; lected from the Southeastern Section- al Championship tournament recent- ly held at Augusta, Ga., and gives a good example of a clever psychic bid at contract. | The Bidding | The opening bid by South varicd at practically every table. Some forced with two diamonds. Those | using the artificial club bid one; club, while the writer, who advocates the one over one, prefers a bid of one diamond on this hand. It is not strong enough to make a forcing two bid. If partner has a complete bust he will pass and if partner's hand has two queens or better in it, he will at least give you a one no trump re- sponse and you would not have to be afraid of the bidding dying. Even though the hand holds 150 aces, an opening bid of two no trump should not be considered. Going back to the one diamond bid, West passed, North responded with two -hearts. Remember this is one over one—one heart over one diamond—a forcing bid from North informing partner that he has a playable heart suit and at least, one and one-half tricks and requests that the bidding be kept open once more although no promise is made for game. East passed. Now what would you do with South’s hand? Knowing that part- ner holds one and one-half tricks, we know that one trick must be the king and queen of hearts and the half trick can be the king of spades, king of diamonds or the club king. Supposing it is the king of clubs, we can find a home for our losing cards —the deuce of spades will go on the queen of hearts and the five of spades on the king of clubs, and we will as- sume that we must lose the king of ciamonds. This would be O. K. unless West happens to open a spade—then our chances of going game are badly ruined especially if West should hold the king of diamonds. Therefore the | psychic bidder realizing that the only cpening that can stop him from mak- ing a small.slam is a spade opening, Geliberately bids two spades, which is a forcing bid. He need not fear that the bidding will close as he has may be sown on summerfallow by Aug. 1 at a rate of 6 pecks per acre. Heavy pasturing may kill the stand of rye. Dwarf Essex rape is one of the best emergency pastures for sheep and Hogs. The most certain stands are secured when the rape is seeded early in cultivated rows at a rate of two ing. Seeding two fields of rape will enable the pasture to be rotated.

Now if West has a broken spade distribution, it may stop him from opening it. North responds to the two spades with three hearts showing that he has nothing but his five-card minimum heart bid. South then goes to six diamonds which all vass. Some players might want to double with West’s holding but it is too dangerous. The Play If South had not bid spades, West in the majority of cases fwould \open with the jack of spades—the top of the two touching honors. But now that South has forced with spades, he is afraid that he may be leading into the ace, queen, therefore it looks as though the proper lead would be the queen of clubs which was opened in this case and it is now rather simple for the declarer to make six odd. He wins the first club trick in his own hand with the ace and then lays down the ace and queen of diamonds granting West the king of diamonds. Now regardless of what West leads the declarer is bound to win, pick up the trump, discard his two losing spades—one on the queen «f hearts and the other on the king of clubs. While this psychic bid has assisted declarer in making a Small slam al- low the writer to again warn you that there are very few times that a psy- chic bid will pay.

BEATTIE U. S. Department of Agriculture Written Especially for NEA Service and The Tribune About three or four years ago, when nounced as a new vegetable in this country, it made little difference to us that this newcomer had been grown and used in Italy for perhaps hundreds or even thousands of years. The plant has been welcomed as a | valuable addition to our list of gar- den vegetables. | Sprouting broccoli is a form of loose heading, green cauliflower that is much hardier and easier to grow than regula: cauliflower. Two crops, @ spring crop and a fall crop, can be grqwn in most sections, the time of planting being about the same as early and late cabbage. It is a cool weather crop and requires 130 the seed until the first of the heads are ready to use. When to Plant | For the early spring crop the seeds should be sown indoors or in the hot- bed and the plants set in the garden just a little later than early cabbage. For a late crop sow the seeds about the time you plant the seeds of late the same time as late cabbage or per- haps a week later. Good, tender sprouting broccoli can not be grown on poor soil and, like its close relative the cauliflower, it must, have plenty of fertility and consider- able moisture in the soil. If the half acre home garden has had about 10 good loads of manure plowed under and a topdressing of three or four hundred pounds of fertilizer, the soil should be about right for growing good broccoli. Needs Plenty of Water If the season is dry it will be desir- able to give the plants a good water- ing about once a week. In the irri- | gated sections the sprouting broccoli | should be irrigated the same as cab- | bage or cauliflower. | Broccoli grows rather large, so the | rows should be about three feet apart | and the plants two or two and one- half feet apart in the rows. Like other new vegetables most | folks have to learn how to use sprout- | ing broccoli. First the plant forms a central head and after this is re- moved several smaller or side heads | form. The heads should be cut when in bud and before any of the buds open or-show blossom color. Cut off about three or four inches of the tender stems with the head, Give the plants a good watering. wash, peel the lower part of the stems, cut into slices lengthwise and cook for 12 to 20 minutes in just enough water to cover, adding a little salt for flavoring. Care must be taken not to over- cook or to destroy the natural color or crispness of the stems and heads, Serve sprouting broccoli with a little Hollandaise sauce or drawn but- ter poured over it, or just a little melted butter will do. It is also good with a little mayonnaise or with lem- on juice or a touch of vinegar. The main point is to use it while it is very tender and not allow it to become too old. NEXT: Summer Greens.
