The opening lead was the jack of hearts and Mr. Dale won in his own hand with the king. He extracted the opponents' trumps hi two leads, ending on the board end then paused to take stock. Clearly the hand was easily makeablo if Miss Brash held the ace, of diamonds. In that case only two diamonds and a club would have to be lost. But that was only a 50-50 chance. Mr. Dale likes to do better than that whenever he can. BOOKS OVEIi C LI BS He turned his attention to the club suit in which tiie defenders held six cards. Now, a little more than one-third of the time, six outstanding cards of a suit will bt divided 3-3. If tiie clubs were divided 3-3 here, it wouldn’t make much difference who had the ace of diamonds. Mr. Dale could throw one of his diamonds on the fourth round of clubs in

There was another important f onsideration, however. The clubs had to be set up without

We feel your kiss upon our cheek The presence of your hands, feut only those who’ve loved as we, There things can understand. Sadly missed by wife and family.

General business activity is ex- i petted to rise mbderately in J early 1955. says the agricultural : economics department at Pur- { due University. Hog prices are expected to average about 10 percent above December levels for the months of February and Ma^ch. Expect a 5 to 15 percent decline in hog j prices in .the fall and winter of i 1955. compared with a year | earlier. The 5 percent increase in U. S. spring farrowings, as shown by the December 1 pig survey, plus some probable liquidation in hog numbers next fall, account for the expected price decline. The early fah market for fed cattle likely will be stronger than the later market. However, cost of gains will be higher on full grain feeding programs than where maximum use is made of roughages and grass. Some bargains in feeder cattle may he secured in cattle moving from wheat pasture areas of the Great Plains. Lack of rainfall after early October is causing large numbers of cattle to move two to three months earlier than usual. On the basis of limited research stilbestrol can be used to increase rate and economy of gain of cattle on feed by about 10 percent. However, it may result in some discrimination on the part of buyers. . Current milk production is holding about equal to that of the corresponding period last year. The government's increasfc.l subsidy for milk in the school Umclf program is now effective in all states with another legislative fight on dairy import controls appearing likely. Increased egg supplies may cause egg prices to decline further during the next two or three months. After mid-year the eg^;feed ratio is expected to improve, but it will still take a highly efficient operation for satisfactory earnings. When buying baby chicks farmers should consider either keeping a substantial sized flock or cutting back to only a small flock for home use. Indiana farm real estate prices have been aboiit, steady during tiie past six month£i,..-Some commercial lenders are . increasing the amount they will loan on, better quality land. Cross-compliance has been dropped for 1955. However, one must still meet corn acreage allotments to he eligible for price support on the 1955 corn crop. Corn prices are expected to be supported at 87-88 percent parity. Support prices of oats, bailey,and rye have been dropped to 70 percent of parity with the national average price per bushel for oats 61 cents; barley 94 cents: and rye 81.18. Indiana support prices can be expected to be within one or two cents of the national averages. ANNIVfcKSAR'tS Birthday Thomas Irwin, 73 years Jan. 26.
