TO BASS SEASON*
Unleashing a barrage of 18 hits
in their first game of the season, the
Triplett softball team smothered Ada
last Friday night, 15 to 3, in a game
played on the Ada diamond.
Leading Bluffton’s free hitting as
sault were Bert Swa»k, who rapped
four safeties in as many times at
bat, Fred Swank with a home run
and two other hits, and Norm Trip
lett and Russ Gratz, each of whom
got two hits in four trips to the
plate.
Bluffton started garnering its runs
early in the fray, getting two in the
second inning on successive singles
by Bert Swank, Anderson and Ba
singer.
Continuing their assault in the
third inning, the Triplett team got
four more runs, and five additional
tallies were made in the fourth.
Bluffton’s remaining four runs were
scored in the seventh inning.
Maynard Geiger and Timer Spaeth
shared the hurling assignment, with
Don Ream doing the catching. Coach

Rodeo Coming to Bluffton
Rodeo days are here again and
Bluffton will have an exciting real
drama of pony express days in a
thrill packed program to be given
on Harmon Field on the 4th of July.
The roundup of equestrian events
will be held in front of the stadium
at 8:00 in the evening.
Bluffton has one of the best lighted
fields in northwestern Ohio and a
multitude of horsemen and horse
women in Ohio, Indiana, and Michi
gan are expected to compete for the
ribbons and $200.00 in war bonds and
stamps.
The first rodeo of the season
sponsored by the Buckeye Western
Horse Ass’n at Tiffin a few days
ago was a huge success and a throng
of over 4000 people jammed the fair
ground grandstands for the occasion.
Arrangements are being rapidly
completed to have these bronco bust
ing, hard riding horsemen here for
the Bluffton Fourth of July celebra
tion.
A variety of fancy and trick tiding
will be the order of the day and the

Bass Season Opens
The anglers of the community are
anxiously awaiting the opening of
bass season this coming Friday.
Fishing at the local quarries has been
stalemated for the past few weeks—
the-fish going on a strike, but not
at the flies, worms, and minnows
offered by the fishermen.
The Buckeye will be the scene of
an invasion over the week end for
this scenic lake has been restocked
heavily by tne Sportsmen’s club the
past several years. The fact that
only 2 tagged blue gills of the 25
that were banded have been captured
this year gives an indication as to
the number of these finny creatures
still inhabiting the quarry.
For the third straight week no
tagged bass or blue gills have been
snagged from the Buckeye and the
fishing contest sponsored by the dub
and merchants will be the big draw
ing factor for fishing at this particul
ar quarry. There are still 37 prize
winning fish waiting to be captured.
Song Birds Are Protected

community are thoughtlessly shoot
ing robins and other insectivorous

songbirds within the corporation
limits has taused no end of conster
nation among the local sportsmen
and members of the boy scout troops.
One party is alleged to have killed
a number of robins said to be molest
ing cherries. The law says that
shooting of robins, bluebirds, cat
birds, woodpeckers, and other song
and insectivorous birds, is a federal
offense with a maximum penalty of
$500 in fines, six months in jail, or
both, according to the Director of
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Shooting of fire arms within the
corporation limits subjects the of
fender to arrest and besides the kill
ing of song birds is not a sportsman
like thing to do.
Aside from their esthetic value,
birds are very useful in controlling
insect pests and are esonomically
important. Millions of bag worms
are consumed by these birds in our
community and to destroy our great
est asset for ridding the trees of
these worms is just asking for an
increase in the plague.
At this time of the year practical
ly every robin, male and female, is
busy feeding a nest of youngsters.
The slaughtering of the parent birds
means death by starvation by the
fledglings.
Let the youngsters also be remind
ed here that the use of sling shots,
BB guns and pump guns is bound to
get them into serious trouble if the
wanton killing of song birds is not
stopped immediately.
Club to Control Poison Ivy
Our good friend Oliver Diller at
Wooster has written to club mem
ber Ray Mumma in response to a
method for killing and exterminating
poison ivy other than the usual

method of just continually mowing
the plant down.
Diller, who is associate state for
ester. says the ammonium sulfamate
is a very effective chemical in er
radicating the poisonous weed.
Twelve ounces dissolved in a gallon
of water is usually enough to cover
all the leaves in a square rod. Within
24 hours the leaves will wilt and
brown and die in a week. A second
application may be tried later if
some plants are missed on the first
treatment. This concentration is al
so effective in killing wild black
berries, ragweed, and Russian thistle.
Canada thistles require a pound to a
gallon of water.
Mumma plans to use the treatment
at the Buckeye quarry to erradicate
the vast growth of the ivy covering
the bank adjacent to the creek and
for clearing up other spots around
the lake.
Pheasants Pull Corn? Try This—
A liquid preparation named Crow
Tox is sold by local stores that is
very effective in keeping crows and
pheasants from pulling up sprouting
corn.
Forest Herr says the treatment has
been used by him and his brothers
for a number of years and their
fields are scarcely bothered enough
to justify replanting.
The preparation is inexpensive
and a pint will treat at least 5
bushels of seed corn. Forest states
the liquid is sprinkled on the seed
as it is being stirred dry in the
basket. The grain can be planted at
once.
In the Herr Bros, experience, the
birds will pull a treated hill or two
and then the depredations cease. The
boys have been so successful with the
treatment that they recommend the
method be tried in other heavily
populated areas. The preparation
does not kill the bird.
