Meanest Thief Thwart
ed By Blind Man

Lima's "meanest thief" was repaid
with kindness by a blind vendor
who displayed ability to take care
of himself.
Don Binkley, blind proprietor of a
cigar stand in the Allen County
court house, helped a strange man to
a chair behind his counter when the
stranger complained of feeling i'll.
But Binkley's acute hearing enabled
him to know when the man reached
into a case and withdrew several
packages of cigarettes, dropping one
of them on the floor.
AS the man stopped to pick up the
package, Binkley leaped onto him,
while passersby called deputy sheriffs.
But Binkley declined to file
charges, and officers released their
prisoner.

Ohio MOUes FOrlUard
In Producing Turkeys

Ohio production of turkeys jumped
from 175,000 in 1929 to 1,184,O0O in
1889, figure which put the state in
eighth place in the national turkey
parade, according to r. E. Cray,
specialist in poultry husbandry, Ohio
State University.
While Ohio was increasing by 700
per cent the number of turkeys pro-
duced here, the whole nation only
doubled the number of these birds
produced in the period from 1929 to
1889. Ohio now has several poultry
men who grow more than 5000
turkeys each year, and one man has
raised about 10000 in each of the
past three years.
Mr.. Cray says there are three
main reasons for the upward trend
in turkey production. Discovery of
way to control blackhead, pre-
viously the most deadly of poultry
diseases, was the first factor. Put
ting the business on a production
basis with incubators and brooders,
and the development of national
appetite for turkey through the year
instead of only on holidays also
helped.
Considerable work has been done
in developing strain of turkeys
which natures early and weighs
enough to serve the modern smaller
family without exposing them to an
after diet of turkey hash. Restau-
rants provide an outlet for large
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1940-08-08

turkeys, which furnish lot Of sliced
meat for sandwiches.
The latest developments in mar
keting turkeys is system of bon
ing which leaves only turkey steaks,
either light or dark, and which per-
mits the consumer to buy part of
turkey or a whole one. The develop
ment of better cold storages where
turkeys can be kept in excellent con-
dition permits the housewife to buy
them any month of the year.
Mr.. Cray says turkey meat is
good bargain now because there is a
larger than normal number in stor-
age and the new crop will be ready
for market in a short time. The
Ohio State poultryman says that
meat held under the right conditions
in cold storage improves in quality.

But the phenomena is explained
