PAYSON ! Potato markets IDAHO FALLS were very quiet during the week preceding the holidays with practically no change In prices, says the weekly review lsaued by Wendell Calhoun, market news representative of the fed eral department of agriculture at Idaho Senior's Play to a Declared Trump of eleven" as stated at THE "rule close of the last article la: "If the number of spots on the card led (fourth beat of lenders suit) be subtracted from elqven It will tell the number of cards In that salt above the one led which are In the other three hands." After senior's first lead dummy's cards are spread on the table immediately. Thai Junior and the declarer each can tell at once how many cards the other one holds above the one led. When thla lead Is as high as the six or seven It frequently gives very valuable Information. Suppose, for Instance, that senior opens by leading tbs six of clubs, that dummy contains the ten, nine, seven and four, and that declarer holds tlie Ace, Queen and three spot. Six from eleven la live, which means that there are only live clubs abovs the six spot In the three bunds held by dummy, Junior and the declarer. In this case the declarer can see all five of these cards In hla two bands and so knows at once that Junior cannot cover the six spot He would therefore play the seven from dummy and would not need to play the Queen from his own hand. In the same way Junior often obtains Information of value by applying this rule. Returning to n further consideration of senior's leads. It frequently happens that he does not have any combination which Is recognized as desirable from which to lead, and that be must make a choice between several undesirable ones. In this cose a singleton often may be led to advantage. If senior holds several small trumps which will be of no use because declarer will draw them out aa soon as he gets the lead, a singleton lead may enable Junior to take the trick and lead back so that senior may win a trick by trumping. Suppose, for instance, that senior leads the eight of cluba when declarer la playing a heart declaration. Suppose that dummy has the King. Jack and several small ones and that Junior holds the Ace, ten and one or more smull ones. Junior applies tbs rule of eleven and finds that this la not a fourth best lead (because he cun see four higher ones) ; therefore he knows that It must be a singleton. In suoh rase he would win with his Ace and lead the suit back at once. Tlie fact that the King Is In dummy would deter Junior from leading It hack Unless he recognized senior's lead as s singleton. This again shows the benefit of the rule of eleven. Tlie lead of a singleton Is not wise when holding three trumps to the Queen, or four to the Jack, because In such rase the trumps are too valuable in order to embarrass declarer when he starts to draw them out. The suit should not he weakened by using even one for ruffing.
