FARMERS BUSY IN
FIELDS; STORMS
DAMAGE IS SMALL
Weeks Setback In Farm Work
Is Principal Loss From
Heavy Downpours
Corn Cultivating and Haymak-

Harvest In Offing

Farm crops in the Bluffton area
show little effects of storms and
heavy downpours that wrought wide
spread damage in some areas and
for more than a week effectually
brought to standstill all work in
the fields.
Farmers now busy with corn cul-
tivation and interrupted haymaking
in fields many of which were under
water last week, say that about the
only crop damage was that suffered
by hay which was down with the
heavy rains started.
Cool weather following the in
undation and several days of cloudy
skies gave most farm crops time tc
recover from the storm effects, althc
widespread damage could have re-
suited had not hot weather imme-
diately set in.
WEEKS TIME LOST
Principal complications resulting
from the. storm was the fact that at
least full weeks work was lost

ly has been set back by just that
much time.
Some hay cut just prior to the
storm proved complete loss, and OF
growing crops potatoes probably suf.

Wheat and oats in many fields was
beaten down by the wind and rain
but most stands have raised again

BLUFFTON'S MEAT
SUPPLY DWINDLES
TO new Low MARK
Fresh Meats Shorter This Week
Than Before; No Hope For
Improvement Soon
Livestock Raisers And Buyers
Reported Holding In Hope
Of Price Raise

Bluffton's dwindling meat supplies
dropped to new low during the last
week, and on last Saturday, normally
the most rushing business day of the
week, the two local markets had prac-
tically nothing to offer the weekend
shopper.
No improvement is seen for the
near future, and new complications
have entered into the shortage pic
ture when it was learned that
sIaughterers are finding livestock
hard to obtain.
In contrast to the situation of a
month ago when plenty of beef and
pork could be bought on the hoof,
altho rigid government quotas did
not permit buying them for slaugh-
ter, today's picture has vastly
changed.
WATCH FOR OPA BREAK
Local market operators are forced
to search high and low for enough
stock to permit them to reach quota
slaughtering, for owners and buyers
of livestock are reported holding
their animals for price increases
they feel will be in the offing as of
July l. Discontinuance of OPA, or
an easing of it's controls, generally
is believed in prospect as of the first
of the next month, and as a result
livestock is not on the market.
At the same time, tight bread
situation has eased slightly, altho
shoppers often must accept whole
wheat, rye, or buns, instead of the
more popular white bread.

Can Make Life Easier
For Work Or For Rest

Considerably more comfort for
human beings at rest and at work
are promised by explanations given
by T. H. Parks, specialist in ento-
mology, Ohio State University, for
the control of insect pests such as
flies, mosquitoes, reaches, ants, bed
bugs, fleas, carpet beetles, clothes
moths, silverfish, and ticks.
Mr.. Park believes proper use of
DDT will eradicate some of those
pests and will reduce the number of
others until they are much lesser
instances. The University entomO-
lcgist warns that DDT is prepared
in several forms and the right one
must be chosen for use against pests.
The forms of DDT which will be
most commonly offered for sale this
year will be DDT in a solution of
stainless kerosene or some organic
solvent, and the DDT should be
present at a strength of 5 per cent.
DDT powder will be available both

Donahey was governor from 1923

Donahey occupied a unique niche
in Ohio Politics.
Politicians called him miracle

on the strength of his personal fol-

Donahey was born in Westchester,
Tuscarawas Co., on July 7, 1873. His
only formal education was received
in the lower grades of public schools.
He was an obscure printer in Tus-

elected state auditor in 1912.

kept close watch on the state trea-

There will be aersol bombs which

The 5 per cent solution of DDT

used for bedbugs, reaches, ants,

to the ends and edges of mattresses
and bed springs and to cracks and
crevices in the bed frame. No treat

LIME FOR LAWNS

Too much lime applied to lawns
may hinder the growth of grass and
encourage weeds. The presence of
moss On a lawn is more likely to
indicate low soil fertility or too
dense shade than a need for lime.
Application of 100 pounds of lime
stone or so pounds of hydrated lime
per 1000 square feet of lawn once
in 10 years is usually enough.
