waters fertilized for fish life federal scientists study ferti lizing plan whereby fish stocks may be in creased interesting tests made ly fisher- i research scientists working uu- der the dominion authorities have iodieated that water may be ferti lized in such a way as greatly to increase the plant and animal life within it and thus to make it cap able of sustaining a larger flsb popu lation than could otherwise be pro duced for instanre says a progress report by m w smith who was in charge ot an experiment conducted at the station of the biological hoard of canada at st andrews new brunswick a pond or lake which has not many fish may lack sufficient food for them and by add ing fertilizer the substances needed by the plants are put in and as a result the latter increase greatly in numbers until finally all the life in cluding the fish which are most de sirable is increased in the st andrews experiment the addition ot only a single pound of herring meal to a thousand gallons jf water was sufficient to make the pond so fertile that it produced nearly a hundred times as many plant growths as developed in a similar quantity ot unfertilized wa ter in making his tests mr smith used two small concrete ponds on the station property from the one source he fed a thousand gallons ot water into each pond to ono lot of water he added a pound of dried and ground herring waste from a sardine cannery but nothing was placed in the second pond except the water the effect of the one pound of herring meal wag remarkable says mr smiths report as could be seen by following through the sum mer the difference in the plant and animal life between the fertilized add unfertilized ponds it showed well that those substances which th plants needed for their growth were present in such small amount in the natural water as to limit their growth as well as that ot the animals which require the plants for food nearly one hundred times as many plants were found in the fertilized pond as in the unfertiliz ed in this way increased growth ot fish rood either in hatchery ponds or natural ponds and lakes may be brought about this particular experiment or study was only one of many which dominion scientists were carrying on last year in connection with fish eries subjects research is in pro gress virtually continually at the four stations of the biological board which operates under

author of practical auction 8wdcb aw article no 2g which are the easiex to bandle weak hands or strong hands most players probably will reply that strong bands are easier to bid and to play and that is probably true weak hands as a rule offer more problems than tho strong ones but the latter are frequently hard to handle the writer was watching a new club member playing tho other day and as dealer he passed a very strong hand when asked why he did so lie replied the hand was so big i didnt know what to do with it this is not an uncommon fault so learn to be as careful in bidding and playing the strong hands as you are with tho weak ones in the play particularly one is apt to become careless with a big hearts a 10 s 3 clubs 9 7 3 diamonds k 10 spades a q 1 s no score rubber game 7 dealt and bill one club what should a now bid with the foregoing hand as proper bid at either auction or contract is undoubtedly a double ot zs one club at one table a doubled and y bid four clubs this was a good bid for it prevented a and b from bidding it also forced a to guess as to the proper lead he led tho ace of hearts and then the ace of spades as a result z made fiveodd at clubs at table no 2 a bid one no trump which y doubled b was on the job however and took a out of the double by bidding two diamonds z was now in a difficult position he knew that a must have spade strength to war rant his no trump hid but saw no other way to give his partner addi tional information so made the bid of two spades a passed for he was sat- hand but remember that bad babits are hard to break you may lose a trick or so on a big hand anil still go gamo but if you are just as care less on the next hand the trick you lose may prevent you from going game the only way to become a good auction or contract player is to play every hand strong or weak for tho maximum concentration on what you are doiug will win moro rub bers for you than any other one thing tho following hands were played in a recent duplicate tournament and the bidding showed a wide diversity of opinion tho hands of all four players are given so that you will thus have an opportunity ot comparing your analysis with the actual tesults hand no1 htarts k j 6 5 4 clubs a s 2 diamonds a j s 4 spades 4 ilenits- 9 2 clubs 5 4 y a b diamonds q 9 z spades hi 7 2 hearts q 7 clubs ic q j 10 c diamonds li spades k 9 6 5 2 isfied with the twospade bid and y was forced to bid two no trump or three hearts ho elected to bid tho two no trump because it seemed a safer hid than three hearts he just made tho bid so failed tomako game a big loss compared with table no 1 this hand is a good illustration of winning by bad bidding the proper bid with as hand is a double of one club the bid of one no trump is very faulty the only reason a b at table no 2 gained by the bid was because the player of as hand at table no 1 made a bad opening with a trump opening the proper one on the bid ding y z can only make three odd in clubs it is an ideal hand for that opening note that the lead of the ace of hearts followed by the ace of spades gives declarer game study this bidding and think over as proper lead fin- the smal hand no 2 hearts 0 5 clubs s 4 3 diamonds k q 10 7 spades 7 i i hearts a k q 7 clubs a q j diamonds j 9 4 2 spades 9 r hearts 1 10 9 clubs k 7 diamonds none 4 2 j leans 8 3 clubs 10 9 fi 5 2 diamonds a 8 3 spades a q io spades k j s c 4 2 auction bidding z dealt and passed a bid one heart y passed b bid one no trump and z and a passed y bid two diamonds b passed and z bid two spades what should a now do with the foregoing hand at one table a doubled two spades on the bidding it is a certainty that b has strength in spades and yet there is not a sure game in no trump there fore a should play the certainty and double two spades rather than bid two no trump by opening the king of hearts he should defeat z by three tricks at the second table the bidding of this hand was entirely different auction bidding z passed a bid one heart y passed b bid one no trump and all passed the writer thinks y should have bid two diamonds this hand could not stand any other lead and yet was strong enough to warrant a bid ot two diamonds for the lead as his partner hadnt bid z opened his fourthbest spade which b won with the ten he then led a low club and finessed the jack the only way he could get his hand into take another club finesse was by playing either the ace ot dia monds or the ace of spades ho didnt care to do either so led a low diamond in the hopo that y would not cover he then intended to play the eight and throw the lead into zs hand y made a big mistake by not play ing his ten of diamonds so when b played the eight it held the trick much to his surprise from then on he had little difficulty in making a grand slam by forcing z to discard either spades or hearts and thus set up winning cards in either as or bs hand work it out for practice if y had played the ten ot diamonds b could still have made a little slam by allowing y to hold the trick no mat ter what he leads b can win the trick set up his clubs and forc z to discard so that he must allow a b to win four heart tricks or a spade and three hearts try it out for practice contract bidding z should pass a should bid one heart and y should pass b should bid one no trump and z should pass a should bid three no trump and all should pass the play then proceeds as at table no 2 both ot theso hands offer problems of bidding and play much above tho ordinary so study tffem carefully 10000mile polar trip planned
