are in charge of the construction
program. Assisting them with the
work to date are Wilbur Fish, Ray
Mumma, Ed Root, Jesse Manges,
Ralph Reichenbach. Donald Root,
Silas Diller, Mayor Howe, Bernard
Fish, James Balmer, several farmers
and this column editor. Additional
help is needed and those members
willing to put in few hours of
labor see Aldine, or Fred for an
explanation Of the plans.
The program planned at the
quarry is patterned after develop
ments at Manistique Lake, in the
upper peninsula, Michigan. Carl
Mumma who has fished this lake in
previous years explain that the
natives build the brush heaps on the
ice in the winter months. The work
is supervised by the Michigan De-
partment of Conservation, and ex-
celIent fishing results are obtained
from the practice.
In Michigan the practice has been
to sink the brush heaps to a level
sufficient to have them covered with
about feet of water
The Ohio Department of Con-
servation is again offering free to
the farmers units of trees, food
shrubs, and plants. This offer is
again being handled thru the Sports
mems Club and all farmers are
urged to take advantage of this ex-
ceptional opportunity. Wilford
Geiger, club director, is in charge of
the program for the Bluffton area.
The tree units can be obtained thru
application and Geiger has these ap-
plication blanks on hand which will
be distributed to all farmers interest
ed in the proposition. Last year
nearly a dozen of these units were
planted in the area thru the efforts
of the club. The Conservation de-
partment explains that in Ohio many
small eroded areas, gullies, fence
rows, odd corners and woodlands
have a use which many farmers
have been overlooking. Such areas,
when properly treated to conserve
soil and water, also furnish an al
most ideal haven for desirable forms
of wildlife. These areas can be made
to provide both food and cover for
game birds, insect-eating birds, and
fur-bearing mammals. Thus, as a
by-product of. small paintings, other
wise unproductive areas on the farm
can be made to yield real benefits
in the form of game, fur, and
measure of protection against de-
structive insects and weeds.

The Ohio Division of Conservation
and Natural Resources through its
wildlife food and cover planting
program has made it possible for
conservation-minded people to obtain
planting stock for such areas without
cost to themselves. The planting
stock is packed in units, each unit
being sufficient to plant approx
mately Il acre. To obtain these
planting units one must use the of
fetal application form which can be
obtained from your local representa-
tive of the Division or by writing
to the Division of Conservation and
Natural Resources, State Office
Building, Columbus, Ohio. This
planting stock cannot be provided
for landscaping or ornamental pur-
poses.
Conifers and hardwoods to be used
for reforestation may be ordered
direct from Chic Division of Fores-
try, wooster, Ohio.
All planting stock will be packed
in units, each unit sufficient to plant
approximately one-fourth acre. One
unit will contain 125 red pine, and
AZ food-bearing shrubs of seven
different species, namely, six each OF
Coralberry, Hazelnut, Red Mulberry,
Bush Honeysuckle, Flowering Crab,
Graystem Dogwood, False Indigo,
Chokeberry, or Multifora Rose. All
stock received must be planted as
unit, the general plan being that the
pine is planted as a solid block with
the food-bearing shrubs planted on
the margin of the pines.

The program at the Buckeye
quarry has been making marked
progress the past few weeks. The
il tons of gravel placed on the ice
at the small end of the quarry has
already sunk down and rests on the
rock ledge below. The gravel bed
on the ledge will make an excellent
spawning area for the hundreds of
big blue gills placed in the quarry
last fall by the club.
At present a project is under way
to construct fish protection areas on
the rock shelf adjacent to the newly
made spawning beds. The four
trailer loads of Christmas trees
gathered thru out the town under the
supervision of Aldine Kohl have
been intertwined with a vast amount
of brush and second growth saplings
trimmed out from the wooded area
at the north end of the quarry.
Spawning blue gills need plenty of
sun, and the trimming out of tree
and brush growth not only lets in
the necessary sunlight, but the work
has inspired the directors to clean UP
the small end of the quarry and
convert it into a park with picnic
tables, benches, fireplaces, and
shelter house. Plans are under way
to place a roof over the three stone
walls standing near the pump hole
thus converting the foundation of
the old crusher into a shelter house
for fishermen and picnic parties.
The brush trimmed out from the
small grove of trees has already
been placed on the ice and the mass
of tangled branches covers an area
approximately so feet long, IA feet
wide, and four feet high. This long
pile of brush will be securely wired
together this week end by the men,
bers of the club. Large rocks will
be fastened to the larger limbs and
when the ice melts the mass will
sink to the rock shelf below. The
lingering fish reared on the new
spawn beds will have protection
from the larger fish in the quarry,
by hiding in the sunken heap of
brush.
The poplar tree when dropped this
spring will fall directly on top of
the long brush pile and the weight
of the tree will help to keep the
mass from floating away.
This coming Sunday afternoon all
directors and other members of the
club interested in the project be on
hand at 2:30 IN. Cliff Elliot, the
club photographer, will be on hand
to make picture for publication.

Undefeated High School Cagers
Trounce St. Marys, 1923 Score

In another demonstration of their
scoring prowess, Bluffton Highs un-
defeated cagers rocketed to a T3 to
% victory over St. Marys on the St.
Marys floor, last Friday night.
1t was the Pirates eighth straight
conquest of the season, and their
third in row in Western Buckeye
league play.
After taking a II to 7 lead at the
first quarter, the rampaging Hasson-
men frightened up defensively with
out hurting their own scoring abil-
ity to be out in front at halftime,
81 to IL.
As usual the Pirates cut loose
with their most impressive scoring
demonstration in the third quarter.
They rolled % points thru the hoop
in that stanza to lead when the gun
sounded 57s to %. Sixteen more
points were added to the Bluffton
total in the last quarter, while St.
Marys was getting only seven.

1t was the Pirates second best
game of the season so far as scor-
ing from the floor was concerned, for
the team made 81 field goals during
the evening. Only five free throws
were tailed. St. Marys had 12
tielders and five free throws.

SPORTS IN SHORTS

Still discouraging outlook to
players and fans alike however, is
the draft status of Center Fred
Hermann, who passed his pre-
induction physical examination at
Toledo last Thursday, and probably
will be called for induction into the
armed service early in February -.
Fred will be in the lineup against
Bellefontaine in a Western Buckeye
league game here Friday night, but
just how long the Pirates can use
him is a matter of uncertainty at
present.

considerably harder against Belle

The only discouraging factor in
the outlook is the status of Fred

the team, who passed his army pre-
induction examination at Toledo last
Thursday, and may be called for
induction into the armed services
early in February.
Hermann will be permitted to
