The Dixie highway between Bluff
ton and Beaverdam was closed to
thru traffic the first of the week as
section crews were at work raising
the track of the Nickel Plate rail
road at Gratz crossing three miles
south of Bluffton. The track at the
crossing was reported several inches
below the pavement level.
Thru traffic was detoured here at
Jefferson street over Route 103 east
to Route 90 and into Beaverdam
over the Lincoln highway. Work at
the grade crossing is repaired and
the road open to traffic Tuesday.
This was the latest development
in an extensive street and road i'm

No One Wants Job of Spraying
Towns Streams to Curb
Propagation
Heavy Rains of Past Two
Months Have Kept Creeks
Free of Larvae

Bluffton is without a mosquito
control program this summer for the
first time in seven years because it
has been impossible to find anyone
to take the unpleasant job of spray
ing the towns creeks and other
bodies of water within the muni-
cipal boundaries.
For the last three preceding sum-
mers Mayor w. A. Howe shouldered
the responsibility of conducting the
control program when no one else
could be found to do it, but he de-
clined the task this summer and
Buttons mosquito situation is right
back where it was seven years ago
when there were no measures to pre-
vent the summer infestation.
Fortunately, mosquitoes so far this
summer have not been too plentiful,
for heavy rainfall throughout May
and June kept the creeks cleaned out
and free of stagnant pools where
mosquito larvae thrive.
TASK UP TO HoUSEHoLDERs
From now on, however, plenty of
mosquitoes may be expected, and
with the municipal control program
out of the picture for at least this
summer, householders must depend
on their own resources to escape
summer attacks of the insects.
Many householders are painting
window and door screens with DDT
preparations, which they say has
been quite effective in keeping mo-
squitoes out of homes.
A general cleanup of the premises
also is recommended with special
emphasis on cleaning out caves
troughs where water may stand,
eliminating piles of tin cans in
which moisture can collect, and be-
ing certain cisterns are tightly COW
cred.
How serious the mosquito situation
may become here before the summer
is over is something that only time
can tell, but Mayor Howe said that
of possible breeding
sources around homes will go a long
way toward lessening the total num-
ber of the insects the town can ex-
pect.

WHEAT HARVEST IS
WELL UNDER WAY
in BLUFFTON AREA
Major Portion of Acreage Will
Be Cut This Week; Quality
Reported Good.
Yield Is Estimated at 35 Bush
els to Acre, Indicating Bump
er Crop

Bluffton district farmers are in the
midst of bumper wheat harvest this
week, with the first grain marketed
at elevators here bringing S1.96 per
bushel, AZ cents higher than last
years opening day quotation.
Most binder-cut wheat already is
in the shock, and combines began
their work early Monday, with wheat
marketing starting in earnest later
in the day.
Combined wheat received Monday
by the Bluffton Milling Co. was mar
keted by John Schmutz, on the Amos
Thutt farm, north of the Bluffton
corporation, and by Otto Amstutz,
one mile south of Bluffton.
Amos Reichenbach and Son, three
miles northwest of Bluffton, also de-
livered Monday the first load of
wheat to the Farmers Grain Co.
Early prospects for yields in the
district are reported upwards of 35
bushels to the acre, a better than av-
erage crop. Tests are running from
So to so pounds to the bushel, with
a moisture content of IA to Is per
cent.
Grain Stands Well
Most of the grain is standing up
we'll, and farmers with combines are
hoping heavy rains or strong winds
can be escaped until the harvest is
completed. Every section of the sur
rounding community has wheat in
the shock, a. farmers who stick to
the binder method OF harvesting pre-
fer to cut the grain before it is too
ripe, to prevent shattering wheat
heads.
Reflecting the worldwide shortage
of wheat, grain marketed Monday
brought S196 per bushel, in compar-
ison with last years price of $1.54
for first day deliveries.
Most of the crop in the area is be-
ing combined, an operation which
cuts and threshes the grain in one
operation. During the past several
years the shortage of farm labor has
stimulated this method of harvesting

No Mosquito Control In BlufftOn
This Summer AS Job Goes Begging
Deer Is Reported
Seen Near BeaUerdaI,,

A full grown deer was reported
seen on the Joe Gerdeman farm
northwest of Beaverdam, Friday at
dusk.
Lawrence Radabaugh, al, said he
saw the deer about a half-mile dis
tant while peering thru the tele-
scope sights of new rifle which he
recently purchased.
He jumped in his car and tried to
get nearer but the animal leaped a
fence and disappeared into thicket.
This is the first report of deer in
this vicinity since one was killed
during the hunting season last fall.
The animal, doe, was found by
three Dayton hunters a mile north
of Rockport. Responsibility for vio-
lation of the game law was never
fixed.

TOWNS OPERATION
TO COST $127,933
DURING next Year.
Receipts For Coming Year Esti-
mated at S137,S17, Leaving
S9,SS4 Balance
Expenditures of Municipality
For 1947 Will Be S153,770
Less Than I'm 1916

Bluffton's municipal expenditures
during the 1947 calender wear will
aggregate S127,933 approximately
S153,770 less than the amount ear
marked to be spent this year, accord
ing to the 1e47 budget prepared by
Town Clerk Wilford O. Geiger.
Of 1916 estimated expenditures,
however, S150,000 is included in mort
gage revenue bonds to finance inn
provements at the municipal light
and water works plant. With this
special fund substracted from this
years expenses, the 1947 estimate of
Bluffton's municipal expense is only
S3,770 short of the preceding r.
months period, it was pointed out.
Receipts for 1947, together with
balances that will be on hand next
January l, will give the town to-
tai of s137,817.35, according the bud
getary forecast.
With expenditures for the coming
year estimated at 1927, 1888, a balance
of S9,884.35 is expected at the close
of 1947, most of which will be reflec-
ted in the balance of the municipal
water works and light plant fund, the
budget shows.
Earmark S150,000 for Light Plant
Expenditures of 1881, ,703 in 1916,
based on actual first-half reports and
estimates for the balance of the year,
will be considerably in excess of the
preceding 12-months, because of the
expansion program at the municipal
light plant and water works, for
which the $150,000 mortgage revenue
bonds are earmarked.
Expenditures for 1947 are estima-
ted as follows, with 1916 figures in
parenthesis: General fund-S16,53
($19,S03); Street Maintenance and
Repair-s2,000 $4,000; Gasoline
tax receipts applied to street main
tenance-$2,500 (s3,000); Bond Re-
tirement-$6,9O0 t$6,90O); Electric
light and water works plant-S100,
900 (s250,000).
The budget, approved by the mum
icipal council; will be submitted to the
Allen county budget commission for
their review and approval.

MEAT, BUTTER AND.
RENTS UP; OTHER
PRICES HOLD Line.
Meat Rise Averages 10 Cents /;
Butter Makes Second Jump
In Month
Trend of Rents Upward; Other
wise Prices Here Show
Little Change

Meats, rents and butter were de-
velopments in an upsurge of prices,
which highlighted the second week
after the removals of OPA controls,
survey of the situation here re-
vealed. Other prices appeared to be
holding fairly steady.
Meats which registered an advance
averaging five cents a pound early
last week have added another five
cents on the average, it was dis
closed, with prices expected to stabi-
lie around ten cent advance based
on present livestock prices.
The supply of fresh meat is ade-
quiate and hysterical buying to-
gether with crowds which packed
meat markets when stocks were
scarce has returned to normal pro-
portions.
STEAKS HIGHER, BUT AVAILABLE
Steaks which have been scarce are
now available in reasonable quanti-
ties with an advance in price from
81 to so cents per pound; pork
chops, likewise are up from 81 to 45
cents. Hamburger, lifeblood of the
quick lunch business held steady at
its initial raise of last week from 90
to 35 cents a pound. Other meat
price advances were not so pro-
nounced.
Butter reflected the end of federal
subsidy payments in a rise of 10
cents a pound the first of the week.
Prices are quoted from rs to n
cents.
During May and June the govern
ment paid Is cents per pound direct
to farmers for each pound of butter
fat produced for churning purposes.
On July l this rate would have been
increased to 90 cents.
SECOND BUTTER ADVANCE
The advance in butter this week is
the second within month, the first
occurring the middle of June. The
increase in butter prices follows a
similar advance in butterfat price
paid to farmers at local produce sta
tions which buy cream principally
for buttermaking.
Since the initial raise last month,
butter has been plentiful as many
buyers switched to the lower priced
oleomargarine, which probably will
be further accentuated by the latest
price advance this week.
What the local rent situation may
be has not as yet fully materialized,
but some increases have already been
reported, with others expected to
follow.
GROCERY PRICES STEADY
Grocery products for the most
part are holding at about the same
levels as two weeks ago under OPA.
Bread (the 18 ounce loaf) is priced
at 13 cents loaf; milk remains at
Is cents a quart; eggs have gone up
one cent on the various grades; the
price of sugar has increased one-fifth
cent; and flour prices are unchanged.
With the advance in meat prices
the bottled-up supply of livestock
that has been held in reserve await
ing price increases is coming onto
the market, and Buttons meat
shops now are open daily.
Citrus fruits are expected to con-
tinue above the former OPA levels,
and also some increase in cheese
prices seems to be in the offing as
there is little of it on the market
locally.
Retailers generally have been
s'holding the line" on other goods
which they have on their shelves,
and so far there has been no indi-
cation that items on order will re-
fleet undue price increases at an
early date.
