as nice a mess of fish as any man
would want. In one afternoon and
evening Sam was able to snag 6
Blue Gill, all around 8 inches,
large Sunfsh, 2 nice yellow catfish,
and l bass that measured Ia inches.
Sam says his catch was made in the
Buckeye using night crawlers and
shrimp for bait.
The local fishermen have only a
few more days to ply their skill at
bass fishing. The season in general
has been extremely slow, probably
due to an unusually long winter.
Bass will start to spawn in few
days and for this reason the season
closes on May to June Is, both
dates inclusive. This year there is
no closed season in the northern
fishing zone of Ohio on Rock Bass,
Crappie, Sunfsh, Bluegill, Yellow
Perch, White Bass and Catfish.
Trout is in season at present and
may be caught until next Sept. 16.
Remember to wear your fishing
license holder on an outer garment.
The license must be visible at all
times while angling. Club license
dealers have plenty of metal holders
on hand, but insist that you do, not
ask for a new one if you have last
years holder available. Let's all
cooperate in this matter fellows,
there is war on you know and
next year the department will pos
sibly not be able to furnish us with
any new holders at all.
Fishing licenses may be obtained
from Sam Stepleton, Charley Dill
man, Don Forche at Beaverdam, and
from Gail Mumma, the club license
sales director.
This year, if the land owner is
willing, the public may fish within

Conservation for Victory" is to-

If you would like to view col
lection of these stamps in their
albums drop in on Harry Shalley at
the news stand and he will be glad

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1943-04-29

Two of the grey squirrels were
taken out to Kenneth Dearth's farm
for release. Before being released
the two animals were shown to Shell
Dearth who has been i'll for the past
winter months. Shell was more
than pleased to see them and re-
marked that these were the first
grey squirrels he had seen for a
good many years. Shell has been a
hunter and has participated in many
crow hunts in his younger days.
Clarence Stonehill stated one day
that he remembered time a crow
hunt was held in a woods near the
intersection of Route 90 and the
Lincoln. The boys bagged plenty of
birds after the hunt he and Shell
gathered up the crows and strung
them along guy wire supporting
sign at a nearby gas station.
There were enough crows shot to
cover all the wires supporting the
sign. Clarence said there were doz-
ems of them and possibly lot more
were shot that were never picked
up. At that time a bounty of 25
cents a head was paid for crow.
That small strip of idle land that
you have back along the creek, and
the one back there on the edge of
your wood-lot and perhaps there is
few more that you may think Of
there is no excuse to let them stand
in weeds this summer. Here is
your chance to plan a wildlife
cafeteria.
Tested seeds for planting wild
life food patches will again be fur
nished this spring by the Ohio Di-
vision of Conservation and Natural
Resources. Last year these wildlife
cafeterias on privately owned land
in Ohio totaled S67 acres Consider
ing the fact that they are usually
planted in very small strips this is
a good acreage.
Conservation Commissioner Don
Waters and game management Of
ficials are pointing out that although
some land used in raising wildlife
food in the past will now lend itself
to victory garden paintings the other
agricultural production, for the most
part these areas are too small and
too inaccessible for that use.
While these patches run from one
| half to two and one-half acres some
times, they are usually in long
strips, which aid in preventing soil
erosion and eliminate the congrega-
tion of too much game in one spot
and also will supply food that might
otherwise draw heavily on now much
needed agricultural production.
Seeds provided are put up in units
and include such items as corn, SOY
beans, sunflowers, millet, kaffir corn
buckwheat and sorgo. Left standing
these patches furnish protection
from the sun to wildlife, escape
cover and food.
Farmer-Sportsmen interested in
planting wildlife cafeterias will be
furnished seed units for patch plant
ing from the Conservation Depart
ment through the Bluffton Com
munity Sportsmen's Club. Place
your order with the club now!
