Ideal Corn Growing Weather Aids Crop
In Overcoming Handicap Of Late Start
Midsummer Temperatures This
Week Prove Powerful
Stimulant
Abundance of SubsoiI Moisture
Aids Current Recovery
Move

Ideal corn growing weather, the
first Of the summer, is being exper-
fenced in the BlufFton area this
week when temperatures have con-
sistently registered daily high marks
in the upper eighties.
With an abundance of subsoil
moisture, the sudden arrival of typ
ical midsummer weather has proved
a powerful stimulant to the corn
crop which has made rapid strides
in recovering much of the ground
lost last spring when unfayorable
weather delayed the planting season.
Arrival of warm weather this
week is in contrast to unseasonal
temperatures last week when a low
mark of 40 degrees was recorded.
FARMERS OPTIMISTIC
Farmers here are revising upward
estimates of the corn crop. Although
there is overhanging the entire pic
ture the possibility of an early frost
this fall, sentiment, generally. thru
the rural area has undergone a
marked swing toward optimism.
Sale on the market of a limited
amount of corn of last years crop
which farmers have held in reserve
for possible emergency is believed to
reflect the improved outlook. The
unusual situation marketwise with
corn commanding a higher price
when wheat is offering an attractive
inducement to sell.
Corn, which ordinarily sells at a
lower price than wheat was quoted
on the market here at 1920 a bush
Ell Wednesday morning while wheat
was $2.12.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS
ARE HAMPERED BY
LACK OF BOX CARS
Elevator Here Ready to Ship
Seven Carloads of New
Grain
Average Yield Around % Bu-
shells; Price Lower on
Market Here

Shortage of railroad boxcars, a
situation which is hampering move
ment of the wheat crop thruout
Northwestern Ohio, is being felt in
Bluffton, it was stated by spokes-
man for the Farmers Grain comp
any, local shippers, Tuesday.
AS yet there is sufficient elevator
space here to store wheat brought
in from farms in this area. How
ever, how long this situation will
continue will depend upon the supply
of boxcars.
Five carloads Of grain were
shipped Monday and there is now in
storage wheat sufficient to load
seven cars more, it was stated late
Tuesday.
$4,000 Bushel Capacity
Total elevator capacity here is
about $4,000 bushels of grain and
after the bins are once filled ad-
ditional grain can be purchased only
as shipments are made. Cars loaded
here generally carry from 1900 to
1000 bushels.
The growing practice of combining
wheat, leads to a more concentrated
marketing peak, as the grain is
ready for the elevators as soon as
it is cut.
Under the former method of
harvesting by binders the crop is
shocked and several weeks usually
elapse before threshing, each farm
er taking his turn as the threshers
make the rounds.
Yield Averages % Bushels
Yields are averaging around 2S
bushels per acre, it was stated,
which is somewhat less than last
years figure estimated at an aver
age of 35 bushels. Tests are run
ming from 81 to 81 pounds to the
bushel.
The price was down sharply, Tues
day, dropping. from 1920 to $2.1O
per bushel which some quarters in
terpreted to mean a larger wheat
crop than had been anticipated
Wednesday morning showed a partial
recovery to S2.12.
Wheat raised here, the soft winter
variety used mostly in the manu-
facture of crackers, is shipped
principally to Toledo and Fostoria
| mills. 1t is better adapted for that
use than the hard spring wheat OF
the west which is used mostly fol
bread baking.

DURING NEXT YEAR
Expenditures in 1948 Will Be
Si,4O1 Less Than for the
Current Year
Budget Prepared by Town Clerk
Is Approved by Municipal
.. Council

Buttons municipal expenditures
during the 1948 calendar year, ex-
elusive of light plant and water
works, win aggregate s31, ,437.09, ae-
cording to the new budget prepared
by Town Clerk Wilford o. Geigef
and submitted to the Allen county
budget committee.
Expenses in 194S, according to the
budget estimate, will be approx
imately S4,401 less than funds ear

gregate outlay of $35,s3S, approx
mately $4,000 more than funds
spent in 1916.
The figure of $35,83S for 1947,
however, runs higher than normal
because of $4,000 in a government
loan which will be spent this year
to complete drawings and specifica-
tions for an intercepting system of
sewers for the town.
Expenditures for 1948 are broken
down as follows, with 1947 figures
in parenthesis: General fund, 1928
1921, ,538); Street maintenance and
repairs, $4,004.09 (S4,1OO); Gasoline
tax for street repairs. $4,000
$4,000; Bond retirement and in
terest, $4,000 (s6,300).
In general fund expenditures for
1948 the greatest outlay is $4,000
for street repair, $4,000 for police,
$4,000 for sewer and drain work;
and $1,700 for cemetery.
The budget, approved by the
municipal council, has been sub
mitted to the Allen county budget
commission for their review and
approval.

Home Site Near New Farm Bu-
reau Operations, South of
Town
Man Made Lake Is Being Great
ed BY Excavation For Farm
Bureau Grading

A rural residential building loca-
ton overlooking a man-made one
acre lake appears in the making this
summer one and one-half miles
south of town near the new center
of operations for the Farm Bureau
on the Philip Hilty farm.
One new home already is planned
at the site, and with Farm Bureau
operations centered within easy
walking distance, there are prospects
that other residential building may
be expected.
Location of the lake borders on
land owned by Philip Hilty, Paul
Emmert and Herman Hilty on the
Lugibihl road, near Little Riley
Greek bridge, about one-half mile
from the new Farm Bureau site
between the Nickel Plate railroad
and the Dixie highway.
The lake is being created by ex,
cavation necessary to obtain earth
for the completion of grading ot
the Farm Bureau building site, a
nine acre tract now being put into
shape by a Springfield contractor.
Just south of the bridge on the
Little Riley creek, the lake will be
separated from the stream by dixie
Surface water drainage from the
surrounding land will provide the
water for the lake.
Emmert, owner of a four acre plot
of land adjoining the lake on the
east, plans to erect a residence or
the site, at some future date.

Oil Boom

There was intense excitement
thruout the Duck creek valley and
soon the west fork of the creek
with derricks from Macks-
burg to where Caldwell was laid out
IN 1857.
Oil usually was struck within 300
feet of the surface and when it was
not reached at that depth the we'll
was abandoned.
One well, drilled near slocum Will
age, reached oil at SO feet and flow
ed so4 perfectly that it filled every
container obtainable and poured oil
out over the bottom into the creek.
Thousands of barrels Of oil were

Bob Mckee Struck Oil

Grunting with disgust Robert Nc
Kee, an early pioneer of Noble
County, moved his homemade drill
ing rig away from the well where
only black, greasy stuff came out
and started another hole. He got the
same result.
After repeated drillings Mckee got
what he was after-pure saltwater,
unspoiled by the black, oozy mess.
That was on the bank of Duck
creek, within a mile of Caldwell in
1916. He did not know it and he did
not want it, but Robert Mckee had
struck oil. 1t was the first oil we'll
drilled in Ohio and many believe, the
first in the world. E..
Abandon Oil for Salt Well
Mckee abandoned the oil wells and
continued to evaporate saltwater
and sell the salt. Salt was hard to
obtain and then sold for 81 a bushel.
A few neighboring settlers tried to
use the oil in their lamps but found
it too smoky and odorous. Several
peddlers bottled the oil and sold it
door to door as "Seneca OIL"
guaranteed to cure all aches, pains
and internal disorders.
Much later when McKee's son,
David, was on Oil creek, Pennsyl-
vania, where E. L. Drake had found
oil and local businessmen were much
interested in it, he told them
There's plenty of that stuff on
Duck creek, where live" and agreed
to send them a bottled sample. A
company then was formed to develop
the new region.
The company's first paying well
was drilled by James Dutton mile
and one-half southeast of Macksburg.
The strike was made at 81 feet,
bringing mixed oil ond water but no
gas. That we'll produced 100 barrels
a day when at its best. Oil then was
selling at from eight to ten dollars
barrel.
