Agriculture went on the program for the first time. Everyone agreed that agriculture and other raw ma- terial producers shared with indus- try the credit for bringing about the great depression and that in both cases the trouble was overcapacity and overproduction. Aside from this recognition our farmers, told what was hapnening to them and their foreign brethren, received no particular encourage- ment. American farmers, especially, seem to be at bat with two strikes called against them. | Competition Increases The relative importance of food OUT OUR WAY AS I SAID, WHEN I CALLED UP —I WANT To MAKE A COMPLAINT AGAINST MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS, THEYYE GOT HANDLES ON THEIR HOUSE AND, Mit Mahe: aN eer i R0.

Russell of the University of Wisconsin's col- lege of agriculture. People still eat only three meals a day. Meanwhile, as birth rates in nearly all civilized countries increase, agriculture con- stantly expands. Fast quick transportation for food supplies all over the world bring products from afar off into direct competition with home grown sup- plies of consuming areas, Russell pointed out. “The difference in economic level of production, due to cost of land, labor and the like, place America at @ decided disadvantage in n.ceting world competition,” he explained. New Zealand farmers, Russeli went on had grass lands available the year around and almost no experse for dairy housing and shelter which in northern United States imposes a capital investment of $200 to 3700 per animal. With milking machines a ‘New Zealand farmer and his boy can handle 60 or 75 cows. And there's a terrible sock at our foreign dairy markets. Too Much Wheat | The wheat situation, according to Russell, is primarily due to encrmous expansion of acreage in all countries where cheap land could be bought into use during the war. Huge ex- pansions were made in Australia, Ar- gentine, Canada and the United States. Farmers acted like manufac- turers who doubled or trebled their plants for rush business; they mechanized the grain industry, too, further adding to surplus. To save paying out gold, European nations, especially in post-war years, have been making every effort to in- crease their own food supplics and ‘buy less from America and otler ex- porters. Now Russia comes along Pigs and chickens and cows are worth more to the indiv.dual farmer than all the goverrsnent relief measures that may possibly be devised. —MELVIN A. TRAYLOR Chicago banker. with limitless possibilities for wheat expansion and plenty of indication that she will take advantage of them. Already Russia has undersold Amer- iean cotton in the Manchester mar- ket; she expects to lead the world market as a buyer next year. Pre- war Russia imported between 800,000 to 900,000 bales of cotton a vear, of which we supplied more than half. ‘Now she has increased her own cot- ton production from 41,000 bales in 1921 to an estimated 3,500,000 bales in 1931. Consumption Drops ‘Then there is the iactor of reduced consumption, especially of cereals, in Europe as well as America. Calories in pre-war diets were much more numerous. Among countries using tariffs in the effort to grow their own food ‘Germany has a duty of $1.62 a bushel more than twice the worid market ‘price and France has raised its wheat duty 400 per cent in four years. Russell says world agriculture’s obvious problem is to reduce produc- tion to existing need but that compet- ing countries will not restrict acreage unless under an effective internation- al agreement.

Dak. - —A Séries Explaining the Contract Bridge System— By WM. E. McKENNEY American Bridge League The principle involved in pre-emp- tive bids is that-they are made for | Hine the purpose of preventing the op- Ponents from reaching a correct game-going declaration, especially when your hand contains a long trump sult and no defensive strength, therefore it naturally follows that pre-emptive bids must be high enough to shut out the opponents. While some authorities favor pre- emptive bids of three in a major and four in a minor, most of them under the straight forcing system, agree that the original three bid, as out- lined in our previous article, has more value when used in that manner than for pre-emptive purposes. Pre-emptive bids should be made on hands that contain defen- sive strength even though you have @ long trump suit. It is better to start the bidding on those types of hands low in the hope of being doubled, especially when you have enough defensive strength to stop the opponents from going game. There- fore, all original bids of four in a suit are classed as pre-emptive bids. They guarantee a long, strong trump suit, but little or no defensive strength. They are made on hands that contain eight probable tricks and partner must remember that with no addi- tional values in his hand the original bidder expects to go down two tricks as he is advertising an overbid. If partner opens with an original four bid, you should not deny this pre-emptive bid unless you are quite Sure that your hand will take at least tricks. When partner opens with @ pre-emptive four bid and is overcalled by opponents, you may in- crease partner's pre-emptive bid with one quick trick as it will make # good sacrifice bid and you would still be down only two tricks. ‘With two quick tricks and the op- ponents force you to bid six, you can still expect to go down only two tricks for a good sacrifice. Pre-emptive bids should never be made with a hand containing less than a strong six-card trump suit— preferably seven. Minor suits should be even stronger as in most cases the only successful minor suit pre-emp- tive bid is one of five. ‘The beginner at contract is more or less apt to abuse pre-emptive bids. Remember that the expert uses them very seldom—there is usually a better bid in the hand. Don’t shut your partner out just because you have a long trump suit. There may be a better declaration for the combined 26 cards. (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.)
