CONSERVATION AFFAIRS
Happenings Affecting Woods, Waters and Wildife
By THE BLUFFTON COMMUNITY sPoRTsMEN's CLUB, ne.

The problem does not end here, for
there are other difficulties. Trout
which are immuned thrive best in cold,
moving water. The water in the
quarry is agitated by the light plant
thru its use of the quarry as cool
ing reservoir in the production of
electricity. But, as the water is used
for this purpose it is also raised in
temperature in a scale that reaches
from 43 degrees in February to
so degrees in August. So, how will
trout act if planted in these waters
this question perhaps will be answer
ed by the Fish and Wildlife Service
at Chicago. In the meantime we will
appreciate any suggestion that can be
enacted on in clarifying this condition.
Last weekend Jess Mangus caught
three nice 13 inch bass in the water
works quarry on minnows. Jess says
the fish have plenty of pep and he had
plenty of good fun in landing them.
The fish looked good to eat-and are
good to eat. There are plenty of
them in the quarry and the fishing is
exceptionally good. Plan to go fish
ing, the recreation will be good for
you.
This Friday Aldine Kohl, Wilford
Geiger and this column writer will
travel to the Ohio Experiment Station
at Wooster to get traitor load of
trees for planting at the new park
being created at the Buckeye quarry.
DR.. Oliver Diller, assistant forester
at the station, will conduct the party
on tour over the premises and will
assist the group in selecting the trees
for the planting here at the park.
Dr. Bangham at Wooster college
will also be contacted for further in
formation in regards to our problem
at the Waterworks quarry.

frozen eviscerated poultry you will
no longer have to keep it in hard

you are now able TO sell frozen

Texas Arranges
Trading Post
For Tribesmen

AUSTIN, Tex, June l-UP)-
Yes, Indians still live in Texas, but
they don't roam the plains shooting
arrows at people.

Alabama and Coshatti tribes in

redmen may offer for sale to the
public their beaded moccasins, la

variety of useful articles as we'll as
amusing trinkets.
Chief of the tribe is 64-year-old
Ticaiche, whose Anglicized name is
Bronson Cooper Sylestine. He and
others of the settlement are wards
of the State of Texas.
The Indian Village isn't an ar

The white men overran the orig
inal two leagues of land more
than double the present 1000
acres given the tribes back in

1t was through the efforts OF
Gen. Sam Houston, twice president
of the Republic, who had lived
with Indians before coming to
Texas, that the tribes in 1854 re-
ceived another grant of land.
The tribes began to accumulate
stock, food was easily grown, and

WAS FALSE RUMOR

Take poultry, for example: To
most of us poultry is poultry, as we
buy it at the butcher shop, or raise
it in the back yard or on the farm.
"Cut-up poultry" would mean cut
up poultry. AS We move along the
road TO regulation, however, it is
necessary TO be more explicit.
The OPA. on April 6, issued a
description of cut-up poultry. 1t
was Maximum Price Regulation
No. 422 Amendment No. u, and
Maximum Price Regulation 423
Amendment No. l3" and the first
sentence put every butcher at his
ease, for it says, This trade bulle-
tin is to help you understand
amendment u to MPR 422 and
amendment Is to MPR 423. 1t
covers only the main points of
these amendments and does not
take their place"
II then adds amendment 25 tC
RMPR 269, describing cut-up poul-
try, two pages, very small type.
from which I Gull the following
gems:
The wings of each poultry item
must be disjointed and removed at
the socket joint adjoining the
breast and must contain all the
wing meat" Yes, I think that
would be the wing. The legs must
be disjointed and removed at the
hook joint and must contain the
complete thigh, all thigh meat, and
the oyster, but shall not contain
the illium or the ischium bones or
any part thereof" 1t would be
the very dickens TO have an ischium
or an illium caught in your throat.
MORE OF SAME
If you don't like the price, just
read the following slowly to your
butcher: IF you Cthe butcher buy
any live, dressed or drawn poultry,
and sell it in parts which is not
cut-up poultry under the definition
above, you figure your net cost
for each part as if you had bought
that part from a seller pricing
under RMPR 269. Tc this net cost,
you apply the mark-up for poultry

Story Of q Fruit Car

Watching an engine pull some cars
--ot fruit away from packing house,
your reporter got TO wOndering:. q.
How does a fruit car get where it's
going?
Thought some growers might like to
know more about this too, so got the
facts from r. C. Neill. who heads
up the Sunkist Traffic Department.
Here they are:-
When a car leaves your packing
house it's first hooked onto a way
train, which hauls it to place called
a concentration point. If you're in
Northern California, all your fruit
that's shipped North and East goes
to the big yards at Roseville, up
above Sacramento. If you're in the
South, your car goes either to the
Santa Fe yards at San BernardinO
or the Southern Pacific yards at Col
ton, depending on where it's headed.
Al the concentration point your car
joins fruit block"-a string of re-
frigerator cars travelling together.
1t then starts East, following the
routing indicated by the shipper.
If your fruit is marketed through
the Exchange, it may change desti-
nation several times en- route. The
entire Exchange system of selling
is based on placing the fruit where
h.
demand slows in one city, that fact
is instantly reported to the Sunkist
Sales Department in Los Angeles
and the car is rerouted, with the
shippers approval, to a market
where demand is more active.
So your car, Neill said, may set out
for Denver and eventually sell in
Buffalo because market advice re-
ceived while the car was en- route
revealed the eastern market more
active and the fruit in greater
demand.
Throughout this complex transpor-
tation process, Exchange fruit is
under the care of the Sunkist Traffic
Department. Its job is TO cooperate
with the Sales Department in the
routing of every car, and TO handle
all rerOuting with utmost speed and
efficiency d. to watch the progress
of each car every day and prevent
DELAYS see that it is checked by
Sunkist inspectors, and properly
ventilated and iced throughout its
journey -. and so make sure that it
arrives at the right place, at the
right time and in best possible con-
dition.
The departments other big job is
to follow through on every claim for
damages. If your fruit Is damaged
IN transit and nobody collects for
you, your return is reduced the same
as if it were damaged in the grove.
So the Traffic Department is geared
to high efficiency in claim handling.
No one can learn such things oUer-
night. The Trafc Department men
Average IS gears experience. There is
no other such group Of experts in the
industry. In Jact, this department,
like the nation -loide Sunkist Sales
Department. the Field SerUice, the
Products Department and the rest,
is possible at no ertra charge only
because ii series 1850 cooperating
grolDerS instead OF rust q tel0. The
claims collected each gear, and re-
turned to the grower, amount to
many times the cost Of the entire
department.
This expert service is just one of
the many special services that be-
come YOURS automatically when you
join the Exchange. Why not start
beneiting from them now?
