Farmer-Sportsmen Co-op. Dept. Di
rectors Named
The following farmers have been
elected by Richland Grange to serve
as club directors in Farmer-Sports
men Cooperation Department of the
Sportsmen’s-club: William Reichen
bach, Willard Jennings, William Am
stutz, and Earl Motter. The four new
directors are all members of Richland
Grange and Motter represents the
Farm Bureau in addition to the
Grange. Raymond Stratton is vice
president of the department. The de
partment has been created to give the
club a better opportunity to aid the
farmers in working out conservation
problems confronting the community.
Distribute Crow Repellent
Raymond Stratton announces that
his group has completed arrangements
thru assistance of Hayden Olds of the
Conservation department, to have a
large supply of crow repllant shipped
to the club for distribution to farm
ers of the area.
The repellent normally selling on
the market for more than $1.00 per
half pint will be made available to
farmers of the community for 21c per
half pint. The product is manufact
ured by Whitmoyer Laboratories, My
erstown, Pa.
The substance is a coal tar deriv
ative and is mixed with seed corn a
few days prior to planting. Expos
ure to air causes the product to hard
en on the grain in the form of a thin
film. The treated grain will freely
pass thru the planter at com plant
ing time. The substance is easily ap
plied to the grain.
The crow repellent is very effective
in keeping crows, pheasants, squir
rels, and other wild life from pulling
sprouting com. The substance does
not impair germination of the grain.
Two hundred and fifty cans of re
pellent are on order and will be dis
tributed thru Raymond Stratton, De
Kalb seed com dealer Herr Bros,
Myers Seed Com dealer and other
seed com dealers of the community.
AU that is necessary to receive the
repellent is to tell either Raymond

sible.
Fish Provide Sport
A few anglers were out over the
week end and as usual that veteran
Jess Manges bagged the largest catch.
Fishing at the Waterworks quarry
provided the most sport and Manges
nagged a sizeable catch Sunday after
noon. Using worms for bait, Jess
hooked 6 ten inch perch and 8 or 10
good sized blue gills.
The other quarries provided little
sport, although a few messes of Chan
nels were taken from the National.
Fishing at the Buckeye has not start
ed yet and the quarry still is covered
with ice in the center. Other fisher
men catching a few fish were C. V.
and Elmer Stonehill, Sam Stepleton,

nite church in Bluffton.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Cahill and Mr.
and Mrs. Allen McClure and daught
er Donna Mae of Bluffton spent Sun
day evening with Mr. and Mrs. Orlo
Marshall.
W* returned last Thursday from a
very pleasant three weeks’ visit with
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Grismore in Cains
ville, Fla., which is in the north cen
tral section of the state in the timber
region. Mr. Grismore, a former Pan
dora man is engaged in the timber
business and has one stationary and
several portable saw mills, also a
planing mill located in the Gainesville
area. Negro labor is used and it is a
case of “Here today’ and gone tomor
row" except with a faithful few who
have worked for him over a period of
years and follow from camp to camp.
After the timber is cleared a bull
dober is used to get out the stumps
and these are also chopped up and
used for a purpose that slips our
mind for the present. On our trip to
St. Augustine and Daytona Beach we
passed through some of the farming
section around Palataka, where the
cabbage was being harvested and
going out of the fields by’ the truck
load all done up in the string hamp
ers like the oranges that comes from
Florida, except that these hampers
are larger. We never saw as many
sweet potatoes gowing or such long
rows as we did there. They' are in
hills just as we raise them, except the
rows are as long as you can see and
acre after acre. At this time of year
they are just starting to vine. As
soon as one crop is harvested the
ground is prepared for something else.
Peanuts will be planted in June and
harvested in September. At the
White House hotel, Sunday evening
we ate our first cream of peanut soup
and w’e really enjoyed it. We were
told that after the peanuts are har
vested they turn their hogs in to fat
ten on the leftovers much the same
as we turn them into our corn fields.
Cows and hogs are left to graze by
the roadside and it is a case of “driv
er beware!” Both are the scrawniest
looking creatures you would ever want
to look at. Consequently all nothem
peole insist upon packinghouse meat.
The South is really feeling the short
age of meat mutton seems to be the
only plentiful thing on the market.
The weather? Oh yes, it wras won
derful from day we arrived until we
deft. The people? You have heard
