Unique Bird Program and Alcan
Highway Pictures Highlight the
Sportsmen’s Meeting Tuesday
H. W. Berky, Bluffton College bird
authority, will present an unique pro
gram at the meeting of the Bluffton
Community Sportsmen’s club at the
town hall club rooms next Tuesday
night at 8:00 o’clock.
Berky’e program will include a
slide color projection of native birds
and habitat synchronized with elec
trical transcription of bird songs and
calls.
A color and sound picture of the
Alcan highway will also be shown.
The picture entitled “Highway to
Alaska” shows construction of the va
cation highway of the future. Here
is an opportunity to make plans for
that trip you all dream about.
Several other motion pictures in color
and sound will be screened. One film,
■“Out of The Heart,” depicts a story
of a boy and his dog and shows the
w’ork of the American Humane Edu
cation Society. The other film shows
a Canada fishing trip.
Plan to attend and bring a friend.
The youngsters will really like this
program.
At the close of the meeting all
landowners present, owning 3 acres
or more, will have an opportunity to
cast an official ballot on whether or
not Allen county will have an official
soil conservation district.
Bass Season Closes
Bass season in the northern zone
officially closed Tuesday until June
15, both dates inclusive. Fishermen
at the quarries are requested to not
molest bass on spawn. If a bass is
hooked unintentionally during the
closed season, don’t forget to wet the
hands before releasing the fish.. Fish
that are to be released should not be
allow’ed to bounce upon the shore or in
a boat. Fungus will later attack the
fish if the slimy covering is removed
from any part of the body.
Suggestions to Anglers
Don’t fish with multitude of rods
or poles. If more than two units of
pole and line are used the law is being
violated.
Don’t string the little one—put
them back in the quarry. Remember
from little fish big ones grow.
Don’t string fish thru the gills. The
proper way is to run the stringer thru
the lower jaw first, then thru the up
per one last. A fish bag is best for
keeping them alive.
Teach your youngsters the lawful
method of taking fish.
Buy a fishing license. Remember a
license is the badge of a sportsman
and the money you pay helps defray
the cost of running the Game and Fish
Department.

CONSERVATION AFFAIRS
Happenings Affecting Woods, Waters and Wildlife
By THE BLUFFTON COMMUNITY SPORTSMEN’S CLUB, INC
Before you go fishing in the Buck
eye quarry’, if you are 16 or over, you
are requested to be a member of the
Sportsmen’s club. Members of the
armed forces may fish free and are
not required to purchase a fishing li
cense. Persons 18 years and over are

All persons under 16 may fish in the

water is not under lease by the

Both quarries are heavily restocked.

A total of eleven tagged fish have
been caught to date in the Bluffton
Fishing Derby staged at the Buckeye
quarry by the Sportsmen’s club and

lers frequent the quarry and good
catches of crappies and blue gills are
made by the more lucky fishermen.
RalpK Patterson, contest manager,
reports that 5 more tags have been
turned in bringing the total to 11 to
date. There are still 141 tagged fish
remaining in the quarry and neither
“war bond” has yet been hooked.

the bass again in the quarry. Bass

Restocking
A good many members have stated
their desire to see an extra load of
fish purchased for the Buckeye quar
ry. The club directors have purchas
ed 3 loads so far this spring for re
lease in the quarries and to date 2
tank truck loads have been delivered.
The third load is expected this week.
To get an additional load means an
increase in the appropriation for fish
restocking. The directors are reluc
tant to increase the appropriation un
til the membership makes a sufficient
gain over last year to take care of the
additional expenditure.
Plans are under way to purchase
this additional load, but it will be pur
chased by contributions of individu
als. If you want to contribute a dol
lar toward this fourth load, which
will consist principally of jumbo Lake
Erie ring perch, leave one dollar at
Mumma Electric Shop, Dillman News
Stand, Stepleton Recreation hall, or
Forche Sno-White Market at Beaver
dam. At least $40.00 will have to be
raised in this manner before the load
w’ill be ordered. The perch run at
the lake is nearly over and action will
have to be taken immediately to get
the load yet this spring. So far the
following individuals have each con
tributed a dollar towards the pur
chase: Dan R. Trippiehorn, Gene
Benroth, Edgar Root, Johnnie Bracy,
Aldine Kohli, Lowell Schaublin, Jess
Manges, Chas. Manges, Sam Steple

The total amount of fertilizer used
on Ohio farms was 306,509 tons in
1935, was 363,320 tons in 1940, and
was 593,857 tons in 1945. In addi
tion to the great increase in total
tonnage, the 1945 applications were
more effective per ton because farm
ers, then, were using higher grades
of fertilizer containing more plant
food per ton.
