Hunters Report Game Plentiful On
Squirrel Season Opener
In only one instance did this writ
er find a hunter returning from the
woods Saturday without game in his
hunting bag. Some hunters reported
an abundance of squirrels and sev
eral nimrods were back in town with
their limit of 4 by 8:00 A. M. Other
stump-sitters luck varied from one
to 4 squirrels each.
Those who depend on their “Satur
days-off” for hunting are happy to
know that there are still two Satur
days remaining in the squirrel season
before it closes September 28. The
fact that the split season has been
cast aside has done away with con
siderable confusion. Hunters, who in
years before travelled to the south
ern counties for the early season, ap
parently are content to have the en
tire state come under one open sea
son.
Local hunting license salesmen did
a rushing business for the opener and
by Saturday night 291 licenses had
been issued by Dillman, Stepleton and
Mumma.
Thirty-three hunters on Saturday,
bagged an aggregate of 89 squirrels,
an average of 2.69 fox squirrels each.
Using this average multiplied by 291
licenses sold gives a total of 782.79
squirrels shot on the opener.
Above total is a conservative esti
mate for no report was received from
the township clerk, or license deal
ers in the immediate vicinity.
On the basis of the above figures
it would be a fair estimate to say
that at least 1,000 squirrels were shot

territory.
A Pandora hunter bagged a grey
squirrel west of town and Twyllah
Carnicom showed the local boys that
girls are expert shots too. She bagged
4 fox squirrels on the opener and was
back in town by noon.
Don Gorson, Harold Montgomery
and Denver Augsburger each bagged
4 fox squirrels the first day and were
back in town by 8:00 A. M. Nice

Wilbur Lowe, Bellefontaine hunter,
not only bagged two squirrels, but
also shot and killed two foxes with
two shots on the .opener near Zanes
field.
An unconfirmed story circulating
narrates that John Palte saw no less
than 14 fox squirrels on one tree
several days before the season came
in. Have not learned yet whether he
bagged any of them.
Bags Limit In 5 Minutes
On a trip to Morgan County, Mon
day, C. V. Stonehill bagged his lim
it of 4 grey squirrels in five minutes
time and he did not move out of his
tracks. Stoney says the squirrels were
all on one small hickory tree and e
ven though he used a shot gun, the
bushy tails were not in the least dis
turbed by the racket, as he picked
them off one by one.

stalked the tusk-studded Russian
wild boar—they send this warning—
it’s a sport for only the hardiest
breed.
Blue gills still snap dry or wet flies
readily at the water works quarry
and many of the local anglers are
really giving the sport the “works.”
Sam Stepleton snagged 20 blue
gills and a 14 inch bass there recent
ly in a few hours fishing.
At the Buckeye, channel cat fish
ermen are having luck again since
the algae has started to settle. The
water is clearer now and within a
short time good crappie and channel
fishing at the quarry will fill up the
off season between the close of squir
rel season and the opening of pheas
ant season.
Merle Duffman hooked 12 channels
at the Buckeye last Thursday. The
same day Ike Clements hooked 8
whoppin’ big channels at another lo
cal quarry. Some were 2 feet in
length.
There will be special chartered
South Dakota Pheasant Flights out
of Willow Run, Mich., this fall, going
to Aberdeen, S. D., with headquarters
for the hunters at Redfield in Spink
County.
Flights will start Oct. 15 with the
next on Oct. 20 and they will be ev
ery five days after that the rest of
the season. Hunters will leave Willow
Run at 7 a. m. and will be in the field
hunting that afternoon. Hotel accom
modations, guides and transportation
in the hunting territory are all taken
care of. There will be five days of
hunting, the men leaving there at
noon on the sixth day, returning to
Willow Run that evening.

fact that the rival coaches were col

eleven that won the Ohio Conference
championship a few years back

with their high school proteges
Bluffton’s victory last Friday gave
the Pirates the lead in the Western

acing Ada under the floodlights
at Harmon field next Friday night,
Bluffton High gridders will be seek
ing their second successive win of
the season before playing their next
two tilts away from home.
In Ada’s first start of the season
last week, the Bulldogs dropped a
13 to 0 decision to Wapakoneta at
that place, with both Wapak touch
downs coming in the last half.
With good weather, another ca
pacity turnout is expected to jam

because of the traditional rivalry be
tween the two schools. Bluffton-Ada
Pirates Score Early
Kenton, 14-
After taking a two-touchdown
lead in the second and third quart
ers, Bluffton High Pirates success
fully countered a determined Ken
ton last-period bid to score a 14 to
13 victory over the Wildcats, at
Harman field last Friday night.
Bluffton’s upset victory over the
favored Wildcats gave the Pirates
the lead in Western Reserve grid
standings, for the game was the
first league tilt of the season.
Aggressive Bluffton line play thru
out the first three quarters of the
contest effectively held Kenton’s
vaunted power in check, and at the
same time the Pirates uncorked sus-
Bluffton’s first tally capped a 63
yard march, and came when Pogue
slashed off tackle and pulled a sur
prise lateral to Schmidt who went
28 yards for the touchdown. Som
mer place-kicked the extra point and
the Pirates led at halftime, 7 to 0.
The Wildcats snared another
touchdown with less than three min
utes remaining in the game, with
Brown skirting end for the tally.
He then went off tackle for the con
version.
Bluffton High Eleven Will Meet Ada
Here Friday Night In Second Game
tained drives that netted two touch- A. C. Burcky readying his Beavers
for their season opener against Wil
downs, and barely missed a third.
Domination of play on the part
of the Cotterman aggregation con- L
tinued in the third period, and an
other down-field march was capped
when Wilch whipped a 24-yard pass
across the goal to Newland.
Sommer’s successful place-kick
conversion then provided the point
that was to ultimately represent the
winning margin, for from that point
the tide of fortune definitely veered
in favor of the visitors.
Kenton came right back to go 40
yards for their first touchdown, with
Hatcher smashing over from the
half-yard line, but the attempted
kick for the extra point was blocked.

t.tj.... dates back to the early
i.ays i football in both schools, and
over the long stretch of years rarely

vantage over the other.
Another unique twist to this year’s
contest is the fact that Kent Cotter
man, Biut’ton mentor, and Coach
Schumacher, of Ada, were team
mates for three years at Ohio
Northern university, and during the
season when the Bears won the
Ohio Conference championship.
Last year the Pirates trounced
Ada by a 19 to 0 score in the an
nual meeting between the two
elevens.
To Defeat
13, In League Opener
In first downs, Kenton chalked up
14 to 11 for Bluffton, but the Pi
rates held a decided edge over their
foes in the initial three periods of
the game.
Last Friday’s victory marked the
locals’ second in successive years
over Kenton, for last year the Pi
rates bested the Wildcats at Ken
ton, 12 to 0.
College Preps For
Opener On Oct. 4
Football practice is in its second
week at Bluffton college, with Coach
mington at that place on Friday,
October 4.
Fate of this year’s Bluffton team
will largely rest with freshmen, and
so far the Beaver mentor has been
unable to get much of an idea as
to what his starting eleven will look
like in the six-game schedule.
For Vigor and Health-
include meaUTn your menu.
K good legume or grass-legume cover crop in
the orchard does three things: 1—Prevents ero­
sion, 2—Supplies organic matter, 3—Grows
nitrogen. Legumes are heavy feeders on potash.
Make sure in fertilizing your cover crop that you
apply enough of this plant food to provide for
heavy stand and vigorous growth of legumes.
In this way the trees will get potash, which they
use in amounts about equal to nitrogen.
Consult your agricultural adviser about the
fertility of your soils. Then see your dealer about
a fertilizer that will supply enough potash to
supplement what your soil will make available.
