Buckeye Quarry Restocked With a
New Variety of Game Fish
Several hundred white bass all of
large size were released in the Buck
eye Quarry late Monday as the
Sportsmen’s Club continued their
spring restocking program. The
■white bass arrived as part of a ship
ment of mixed fish purchased by the
club.
The white bass averaged 12 to 14
inches in size, and resemble white
crappies in coloration and physical
characteristics. They are considered
the most prolific of Ohio fishes and
at maturity these fish will reach 15
to 18 inches in length and have an
average life-span of 3 years.
In Lake Erie these particular fish
refuse to be caught on hook and line
in any great quantities except at
certain seasons. One occasion is at
spawning time when they deposit
their eggs along shores of lakes and
streams, preferably where ragged
rock shelves form a retaining wall
backing up water. Their spawning
lasts from 2 to 3 weeks and during
its peak anglers catch them by troll
ing small fly rod spinners or by fish
ing with small live minnows.

spawning run white bass take these
lures so readily that they may be
caught as rapidly as the angler can
land them and get his lure back in
the water.
Jess Manges, in charge of fish man
agement for the club, says he hopes
this specie of fish will prove a game
type for the fly fishermen frequenting
the quarry.
Included in the load of fish restock
ed were a goodly number of other
legal size fish such as crappies, perch,
bullheads, a few channel, etc. Some
pickerel were also released.
Daily bag limit on white bass is
20 per day. There is no legal length
and no closed season. These same
regulations are for rock bass, catfish,
blue gills, sunfish, perch and crap
pies. Pickerel must be 13 inches in
length and the bag limit is six per
day. Aggregate bag limit is 25 fish
per day for all species. The season
is closed on black bass until midnight
on June 15.
The load of fish released Monday
is the fourth load released in Bluffton
quarries this spring by the club.
Three loads have been restocked in
the Buckeye and one load in the
Waterworks quarry. The club still
has in order a load of channel catfish
and a load of mixed fish. Delivery is
anticipated yet this spring.
Tagged Fish Caught
Bob Lewis is the lone angler to
claim a prize last week for catching
a tagged fish at the Buckeye quarry.
Bob snagged a perch numbered B
15392 entitling him to $2.00 in cash
at the Page Dairy Company, Bluffton.
To date 20 tagged fish have been
caught this season, leaving 186 tag
ged fish remaining in the contest.
All persons 16 years and over must
be a member of the Sportsmen’s club
in order to fish in the Buckeye quar
ry and compete in the Derby. A fish
ing license is necessary for all per
sons 18 and over. Persons under 16
may fish in the quarry and compete
in the Derby, but must be accom
panied by an adult. State fishing
regulations must be observed at all
times. Any violation of the above
regulation will result in suspension
from membership in the Sportsmen’s
club and cancellation of fishing priv
ileges at the Buckeye quarry.

Crow Bounty Paid
The predator committee urges more
crow hunting this spring. A bounty
of 25c per crow is paid by the sports
men’s club to members that have been
in good standing for at least 2 years.
Only the crows feet are to be turned
in to any of the following committee:
Russ Montgomerys Jess Manges, Wil
bur Niswander and Harold Montgom
ery.
Crow hunting provides good sport
and at this time of year crows are
not so wary\ Shells are plentiful, so
do a good turn for hunting with a
little wing shooting while it is need
ed. Crows destroy many thousands
of pheasant eggs each spring in our
area and are considered one of the
main reasons for the decline of this
game bird the past few years.

In the renewal of an old feud,
Triplett's undefeated softball team
turned back Routh Packers, of Tif
fin, annually one of the strongest
teams in the state, by a score of 3
to 2, Tuesday night on the Bluffton
field.
Triplett’s three tallies came early
in the tilt. Bert Swank crossed the
plate in the first inning on Jim
Gratz’s single, after he had gotten
on base on an error.
Two more runs came in the third,
with Timer Spaeth setting the stage
by leading off the stanza with a
pass. Burkholder grounded out, but
Spaeth scored on Bert Swank’s
single. Swank stole second, then
came all the way home, while Tiffin
infielders were booting the ball
around.
First run of the visitors came in
the second inning and a hit and
an error, and the other was made
in the seventh when two hits were
bunched.
Ken Altman, normally a jinx for
the visitors, was in top form, grant
ing only four hits to six made by
his mates off Spaeth and Beach,
Bluffton’s two hurlers, but the locals
bunched their assault to come thru
with their fourth consecutive victory
of the season. Spaeth and Beach on
the other hand were steady in the
pinches and came thru to victory.

Triplett Will Play
Three Lima Games
Triplett softball team will have a
busy time during the next week, at
tempting to catch up with games
postponed during the last 10 days
because of rain.
Three games will be played by the
team from Wednesday thru next
Monday in Lima Major league play.
On Wednesday the Triplett crew
will oppose Lima Loco the schedule
Friday night calls for them to face
Shook Bronze, and next Monday they
will tangle with J. and P. Beer Co.
All games will be played on the
Lima diamond.
So far, the locals have been un
defeated in three starts, and they
are hopeful of continuing their rec
ord at the expense of the Lima out
fits.
Soybean meal left as a by-product
from extracting the oil is worth about
as much for livestock feeds as the oil
itself. Recent discoveries of ways to
make high-grade edible and drying
oils from soybean oil are likely to
provide incentives for growing soy
beans after importation of other veg
estable oils get back to prewar levels.
Soybean production in eastern Asia
will be a big factor in the postwar
market.
Grain deliveries under the bonus

ported to have been 457,937 bushels
of wheat and 1,727.682 bushels of

those grains were North Dakota with
