| Farm Work in Drought Zones S OTHER NATURE'S WEATHER PROVING HELP 10 STRICKEN AREAIN COMEBACK Good Crops for 1931 Are Fore- cast by Director of Farm Extension Work SOIL IS IN GOOD CONDITION Planting of Home Gardens as Emergency Measure Goes Ahead in South Washington, April 17.—(?)—Benign winter smiled where a truculent sum- mer had frowned and most of the drought area has its farm work well ahead of the season. Dr. C. W. Warburton, federal direc- tor of agricultural extension work, says that with few excepti farm- ers were in position to take advan- tage of the preseasonal opportunity to plow and plant, and with good growing and harvesting conditions they are expected to have good crops where a year ago they so signally failed. Moisture, the devastating absence of which seared the country from the Rocky mountains to the Potomac river last year, is sufficient for pres: ent needs. Except for Mon- tana and the Da- kotas, there is both surface and sub-soil moisture west of | the Mississt p pi j river. The spring: wheat country com- *:% plains of slight" Sub-soil moisture. | East of the Mis- sissippi and south of Kentucky the sur- face moisture is good, but sub-soil OR.C.W.WARBURTON moisture is insufficient. Over the Ohio valley and on east there is hard- ly any sub-soil moisture and only suf- ficient surface moisture for current needs. South Plants for Food The south, which of all sections was worst hit by the drought, has made amazing progress, Warburton says, in the planting of home gardens. Farmers who had nothing to eat when their cash income was cut off are planting sufficient truck crops for a winter's supply—many of them for the first time. Except for Virginia, which appears to have redi the potato acreage 1,000 acres ler. that harvested last year, all the south is expanding the crop. All show increases in corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts. As & whole, the south will increase its acreages of soybeans and cowpeas. The grain and roughage increases indi- cate expansion of daity herds and livestock production. Fruits Doing Well Fruits and grass crops are doing well. Some sections have had killing frost, others cool weather which has retarded plant growth. The government is forbidden by act of congress to estimate the intended cotton acreage, but it is expected to be increased in the southwest and de- creased in the cotton belt proper, or the “deep south.” Federal funds totaling $67,000,000 are aiding farmers in the drought and storm and hail areas which rep- resent approximately one-half of the chief agricultural counties of the country. More than $25,000,000 has been Joaned already to nearly 165,000 farm- ers and regional offices are mailing out from 1,500 to 3,000 checks a day. ‘These loans have approximated $150 each. Zap Boy, 7, Saves Friend from Death Zap, N. D., April 17.—Timely ac- tion by Leslie Lewis, seven, saved the life of Russell Roe, four, here last Friday. The children attempted to cross @ creek on a plank and Leslie made the trip without difficulty but the young- er boy stopped to “teeter” a few times and fell in. The Lewis lad rushed to the spot in time to see his young play- mate come to the surface and, grasp- ing his hand, tried to pull him out of the water. His strength was not to hold tight and to drag the Roe child to shallower water and to hold him in such a way that he could breathe. Mrs, Roe, who had missed the chil- dren, came to the rescue in time to Telieve the Lewis ginning ‘Thursday. Miss », ® resident of Page, N. D., is in a Fargo hospital.

D., April 17. 1931. | Editor, Tribune: Am heartily in accord with Mr. Keniston’s article in The Tribune of Saturday, April 11th, only I think he did not go far enough with his criticism, I think he should include} all advertising through radios, not} only such as refers to selling goods, | but also such as refers to any other, lines, and advertising in gencral. It) seems that any advertising which) could not be put in print conscien-| tiously is being put over the radio} without regard to truth or principle. The public is somewhat protected by the principles and integrity of news- papers, because the author is respon- sible for the statement, but I would) like to ask the radio broadcasting stations, just who is responsible for | {statements their announcers make? Or what recourse the public has if any gross mis-statments are made which induce them to act in a way, of which they would not think if it had not been instigated by (the an- nouncer’s) words. As for myself, I would be very much in favor ef some kind of censorship on radio advertis- | ing, for the protection of the general public. If there are any more people minded the same way, let’s hear from them. M. BAYER. Brookhart Again | Scores Soldiers New York, April 17.—(P)}—Senator Smith W.

That was the last he or other county officials saw of them. ° A sheriff's posse is looking for the men, E. V. Poole and Maurice Dacons. They had been jailed on a charge of receiving stolen Lrop- erty. Ward resigned.

McKENNEY | Secretary American Bridge League | Following are examples showing how to apply the pitch coimt. There are two different South hands and ‘three different North hands, ing the card you will see a small fig- jure in parenthesis—these _ represent (the total count for each sult. The ; figure at the bottom is the total count ‘for the hand. ‘The count, as previously explained, is ace four, king three, ‘ queen two, jack.one. Hand No. 1 { In hand No. 1, South, the. dealer, ‘counts four in the spade suit for the | ace and one for the jack, giving him five for spades, three for his king of hearts, three for the king of diamonds and two for the queen of diamonds, and nothing for the club suit. His grand total, therefore, is 13—suffi- cient to open first or second hand, but not strong enough for a third or fourth hand bid as third hand re- quires a count of 14, while fourth hand requires a count of 15. Hand A Holding hand A, if your partner opened first or second hand with a no trump, you, with only a count of eight, should not bid two no trump.. Your partner has advertised a count of 13 only. As you have only a count of eight, the combined count of the two hands may only count 21, and as @ count of 22 is required to bid two no trump, your proper declaration is to pass, However, if partner bid third or fourth hand, you should raise to two no trump. Hand B With hand B you have an addition- al count of one in the spade suit due to the fact that you hold the king of spades instead of the queen. Now if partner were to bid one no trump first or third hand, showing a count of at least 13, you should jump to two no trump as the combined count of the two hands is at least 22. How- ever, if partner bid one no trump sec- ond hand, the combined count may now only be 21: and therefore you should pass. were to bid one no trump fourth hand, however, he would be required to hold 15 and Fishing Boat Burns But Crew Escapes San Pedro, pacetreertr Mage stomiok dio messages recel here Wednes- day night described the burning of the Lisboa, a 74-foot fishing boat, off Magdalena point, 600 miles south of here, and the ‘escape of her crew of 4. ‘The messages were sent by the mas- ter of the Atlantic, another fishing boat, which was nearby. ‘The fire aboard the Lisboa was started by the backfiring of her engines Wednesday, the messages said.
