Weakness Take-Out
HE weakness take-out of a part
ner's unopposed no trump is ob-
jected to by some on the ground that
they are increasing the contract with-
out offering any help.
This take-out should be made with
six cards of a minor suit and a trick-
less hand because you are offering
considerable help. While yeu would
have no help for a no trump your six-
card suit should be worth two or three
tricks. Below is a hand which illus
trates it. Played at no trump the de
clarer would be defeated two tricks,
while played at diamonds four odd
tricks are made,

Notions About
Seed Potatoes
Doubtful Whether There Is
Any Difference in Value
of Each “End.”
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Much experimental work has been
done with the potato to determine the
best methods of treating the seed to
secure the most satisfactory ylelds.
The results have varied to the point
of gonfusion in many instances, In
technical bulletin No. 51, “Source,
Character and Treatment of Potato

Department of Agriculture, William
Stuart reviews the results of note-
worthy experimental work and In add!

Greening Process,
Sprouting seed potatoes in the light
before planting them, a process known
as “greening,” has long been practiced
by growers of early potatoes In most
European countries in an effort to
hasten the development of tubers of
size early in the season.
Greening is not yet a commercial prac-
tice in the United States. In fact, the
