Contract Bridge
By Culbertson
(Copyright. 1851. by Ely Culbertson.)
An interesting bidding problem
was presented in the following deal,
which occurred in a team-of-four
contest:
North, dealer.
| North-South vulnerable.
Total point scoring.
NORTH
A A K 9 4
AKQ8
0
A K 8 5 4 3
WEST EAST
A 8 7 A Q 10 5 2
943 J62
0 8652 OJ10973
A A Q 10 7 A 6
SOUTH
A J 6 3
<7 10 7 5
0 AKQ4
A J 9 2
When the board was played for
the first time, the bidding went:
North East South West
1 club Pass 1 d mond Pass
2 spades Pass 3 clubs Pass
3 hearts Pass 3 NT Pass
4 clubs Pass 5 clubs Pass
Pass Pass
North, the declarer, had to lose
three trump tricks to West, and so
went down one trick. South at the
other table, used different bidding
tactics:
North East South West
1 club Pass X d’mond Pass
2 spades Pass 3d’m’ds(!) Pass
3 hearts Pass 3 NT Pass
Pass Pass
There was no possible defense
against the three-no-trump con
tract. South simply played East
for the spade queen and this cre
ated an entry for himself and also
established three spade tricks.
The key bid at this table was
South’s unorthodox but shrewd re
bid of his four-card diamond suit
At the other table South's club
“preference” over two spades gave
North the idea that five clubs would
be safe, and so he could not be
Warned for taking out the three-no
trump contract, but at this table
South made it clear that his only
real strength was in diamonds
Thus, North was given warning
against climbing up to an 11-trick
contract. Having described his own
holding graphically by bidding three
suits, he had no qualms about let
ting South play three no-trump
despite his own diamond void, be
cause of South’s reassurance in that
direction.

Fish Meal.
Even poultry and swine now are
getting their vitamins. Every day
it is more and more of a problem
to keep our poultry and swine heal
thy with the cost of food so high.
Fish meal is meeting the situation.
Menhaden by the millions from the
East coast, pilchards (sardines) by
the billion from the West Coast
and countless herring from Alaska
produce in dry form the right
amount of vitamins.
Meal is made of the whole fish,
which is cooked in steam, pressed
free of water, dried, ground and
sacked to be sold at about $150 per
ton. When you think of the price
humans must pay for their vitamins
with a fish oil basis, you are tempt
ed to sample some of the meal cost
ing less, and see what results.
TEhe price of fish meal is usually
based on protein content. in«
“high-energy” rations fed to poul
try and swine appear to afreet them
more quickly than vitamin capsules
do on the human body.
Fish meals are now fed to al
breeding animals. At first some
objected to the meal served with
their hay, but they could do noth
ing about it, and hunger will over
look many things. The animals
that were fussy about their oats
finally had to come to it and, to all
accounts, they have improved with
the added vitamins.
A number of years ago, it was
demonstrated that poultry and
swine improved on a ration of corn
meal and soybean, then it was de
cided that a vitamin with a mineral
supplement wouldl be far more po
tent, so, fish meal was added. The
results I am told are highly satis
factory.
