Muriel Nissen Q. 5-rAs South you hold: Alit VKJII1 AC A1 The bidding has proceeded: West North heart Taas diamante na srnaap rasa 4 hearts raes What do you bid now? A. Our preference Is for six hearts. It is true that we have only 1 points In high cards, which we promised by our rebid of two a trump, but our 16 points are made up of 24 carat material. Furthermore, valued at hearts our hand Is worth three more points after North supports the suit, on for each of the doubletons and one for the fifth card of the supported heart suit.

It Is true the hand might produce seven, but la this sequence It Is bard to reach the contract with assurance. Q. 6 You are South, vulnerable, and you hold: A J10VK9764 2 AK8S The bidding has proceeded: Senth West Marth Kaat 1 heart Idiameada Dable fass T- What do you bid now? A. Pass. It Is true we are normally reluctant to leave in a low doable when void of the adverse suit, but in this case we feel coerced to pass.

We have more than enough in defensive values to justify our opening bid, and It Is very probable that partner Is short In hearts when he chooses to double a nonvumerabla opponent. We would therefore play for the penalty. Q. 7 You are South, vulnerable, and you hold: VAQJ84 4Q94 4 The bidding has proceeded: East Saath West Marth 1 slab Paabla 1 spada 1 diamoada 3 clabe hearts spadee 4 hearts Pasa Pass slabs Pass Paw Daeble Pasa Paas Paia What is your opening lead? A. Four of clubs.

The bidding tar dicates that your side has the advantage In high cards and that the enemy will fulfill their contract only with the aid of distribution. In such cases a trump lead destroys much of their effectiveness. Q.8 As South you hold: Q105 AKQJ 4Q J94 The bidding has proceeded: Saath West Kerth East 1 heart diamonds Doable Paae What do you bid now? A. Two-hearts. Your hand will be a great disappointment defensively.

Wat HaHfc Kaat 1 epade aaarte epaa raas What do you bid now? A. Whether or not there is a dam In the hand depends apoa partner's control of the heart situation. It he has the ace, alt seems wen, but we do not recommend a Blackwood bid because we might well have a slam tho partner is aceless.

Partner needs only second round control of hearts for the purpose. We would therefore show the ace of clubs and follow it up by showing the ace of diamonds so that partner would understand all we need Is second round heart control. might then bid a shim If he had the following: 4 4 I I II. As South you hold: 4J5S VA6Z 44S A 5 2 The bidding has proceeded: Nertk East Saath West 1 spade rasa slabs Pass I hearts Pass What do you bid now? A. Three hearts.

This Is In the nature oC a compromise bid. We should like to make a forward move but do not choose to do so with a lump. A three spade bid is ruled out, first because we lack the required four trumps, and secondly because tt is 100 per cent forcing to game, and this band containing only 12 points Is lust slightly short of the values to Insist absolutely on a game contract. There Is little danger that partner will pass three hearts. If he does.

It Is because there Is something wrong with his opening bid. and you win probably be unaoie 10 maae game. Q. As South you hold: 4A63 VA8754 4 1 Q42 The bidding has proceeded: Saath Karth East Pass Peak 1 heart Paas hearts Pasa na tramp Pass What do you bid now? A. Pass.

If be bids four hearts It is In Burley Support Unofficial returns from Saturday's eight-state burley tobacco referendum indicated strong support for continuance of marketing quotas on the crop for the next three growing seasons.

Growers in Western North Carolina voted overwhelmingly in favor of extension of the system to cover the 1953, 1954 and 1955 crops. The count for North Carolina reported by James E. Thigpen, director of the U. S. Production and Market' ing Administration's tobacco branch was 8,295 for three year quotas; 120 for one year; and 150 against any quotas at all.

The complete, official results are expected to be announced tomorrow. Kentucky, rated as the top burle-producing state, reported 113,395 growers in favor of extension of the quotas for the next three years, 1,037 for one year only, and for suspension of the system. 1 Belittling Friends Try To Spoil GirPs Romance today, first stop on a three- day visit to East Tennessee com munities.

E. Patton estimated last week. Slightly reduced income from 1951 was attributed to the serious drought of the summer, a condition which halved the county's big corn' crop and lowered the value of several others. Small grain was a welcome exception to this situation, and Rutherford farmers have received an exceptional yield from wheat and oats. "This has been a tough season," Patton reported.

"Nevertheless, Rutherford County had one of the best small grain seasons it ever experienced." Cash value of wheat and oats was estimated at about and other grain was used for feed. The largest single crop for the county was cotton, which is expected to have a value of over $1,250,000. Yield is estimated up to 7.000 bales on 10,000 acres. With the disappointing result of the county's corn crop, dairy products surged into second place in Rutherford's farm larger tnis year, with a cash income anticipated to be from $600,000 to 000j-this in addition to many dairy products consumed at home. Dairying has been constantly gaining in prominance in the county iur ficvcrm ycaia, cugmg uh King Cotton, which almost re- ceived its death knell following incursions of boll weevils three years ago.

Poult: and eggs are expected to have ji value approximately equal to that of corn, both counting a cash income of roughly $250,000 Corn was the crop most severely hit in the county by the summer drought "Yields will fall from an aver age of 30 bushels per acre in recent years to a county average of about 15 bushels per acre," Patton said. He added that some farmers will make up to 80 per cent of their crop, while others will harvest less than half. Approximately acres were planted in corn this year. Livestock production will account for about $250,000 cash income for Rutherford farmers, and truck garden products coupled with fruits will add about $125,000 to farmers' pockets Pigs and calves make up tie majority of the livestock income, and peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, cantaloupes, watermelon and Irish potatoes lead in truck gardening. About 800 acres were planted in sweet potatoes alone in the county this year.

Peaches are the only real marketable fruit crop in Ruther ford, and are expected to bring about $25,000 from some 400 acres bearing the fruit. Tobacco was a crop of lesser importance. It was planted on- 35 acres, and will bring about 000 cash income. NED STEWART Andrews FFA Boy Tops Cherokee Corn Growers ANDREWS Ned Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Jim Stewart of Andrews, is the 1952 champion corn grower of Cherokee County, according to Richard Ramsey, vocational agriculture teacher of Andrews High School. Ned is a member of his school's Future Farmers of America chapter. Very active in all phases of agriculture work, Ned produced 110 bushels on his Supervised Farming Project acre. It is estimated that his yield was cut 40 bushels by the drought, Accurate records kept by this FFA boy indicate that the total production cost per bushel is only 53 cents. Latest recommendations from all available sources were supplied by the High School Vocational Agriculture Department.

Ned's father is a successful farmer and cattle dealer and encourages his sen in scientific farming. Besides maintaining his corn- growing project, Ned also tends a flock of hens for hatching egg production, takes care of two- tenths of acre of Burlev to bacco and is handling several head of cattle.

When I went in to pick up the I found it was marked Large in the center and at tne ena. tnld the manaeer that I thought the marking incorrect and that the large initial should have been that of his surname. He told me tnai was wrong and refuses to do any thing about it.

I still think that T1 am right and would like a confir mation from you so that I can show it to him." You are right. The large initial in the center is always that of the surname.

We never discussed the question of going steady, but since our first date he has never gone with another girl nor 1 with another boy.

We've had lots of nice, clean fun together, and as we grew older we looked forward, more and more, to seeing each other on week ends, the only time we could go but, since we went to school. We never argued and I don't remember even one small misunderstanding. Now Jim is in service and we are looking forward to marriage when he comes out. His parents and mine approve of our going together and know of our plans. They are 1 besides telling me: he pays me rnmnlimpnts tnrnc lin with nlpnsartt.

It worries me because Jim is a good-looking boy and since I'm no raving beauty or sharp dresser he may forget all about me. The girls upset me very much when they tell me these things, because, after all, I know that they do happen. Is there any chance for an average girl to hold her man while he is away? SUSY Q. ANSWER: As I read your description of a wll-nigh nerlect romance, I dreaded coming to the problem, which I feared might be something to spoil everything for you.

I was honestly quite relieved to know that your difficulty was not concerned with the more serious aspects of your relationship. True, idle gossip and malicious needling can be detrimental, but if you can assure yourself that the Mennncihle fnr tM linsAtt.infr tales are out to brine you worry and nothing else, you may learn to shrug off their stupid lies While it cannot be denied that boys can be led astray, and can be lurea irom a sweeuieari dock nume, 'these isolated cases are far out Ti, Lr TOivp. anrt rnmp hftpk men than when they left. You must build up your confidence and faith in Jim with the conviction that it is most unlikely for him to change so drastically. He's a fine boy now, and will almost certainly coritinue to be so.

The current crop is supported at a loan rate of $49.50 a hundred pounds. On the basis of this and the government estimate of 607 mil lion pounds, the minimum return would be nearly 300 million dollars. Dry weather first beset the crop in mid growing season and in some instances tobacco was cut and housed in late July, several weeks earlier than usual. August rains in scattered areas revived late growth and sharply reduced early estimates of crop damage or loss. The auctions begin a week from tomorrow and probably will continue well into February.

The crop, an almost certain 300 million dollar kitty for growers in the eight state belt, is termed ge erally fair in quality end ngnter than expected in weight. Beltwide auctions begin Dec. 1. Dry weather, which struck the crop in the growing season, prevailed during curing of the leaf and into the stripping season.
