Hunting Season In County Reduced 70
rs Days TO Halt Decline In WiIdlife

The Ohio Conservation and Ma
tural Resources Commission last
week made drastic cuts in the 1947
rabbit and pheasant hunting seasons
by setting tentative regulations
which reduced the season on pheaS-
ants to seven hunting days and on
rabbits to IS hunting days. This
action, to halt the rapid decline in
Ohio's popular small game popula-
ton, followed intensive game kill
surveys and population estimates
from all parts of the state which
have indicated that three consecu-
tive years of cold and wet nesting
and breeding seasons, increased
hunting pressure and disappearing
cover and habitat brought on by the
heavy wartime agricultural de-
mandS, have lowered the game pop
ulation to a point of danger. The
season last year on pheasant in
cluded IA hunting days and on rab-
bits, Al days.
Tentatively the 1947 season dates
are November is to November %
on pheasant and November Is to
December Is for rabbit, all dates in
elusive. The daily bag limit of four
rabbits and two pheasantS and pos
session limits of four rabbits and
two pheasantS were not changed.
Daily hunting hours were changed
to 900 a. m. to 400 p. m. including
the opening day.
The sentiment expressed by the
Conservation Advisory Committee,
consisting of one farmer and one
sportsmen representative from each
of the seven conservation districts
game hearing last week in Colum
bus together with comments from
the general public at hearing indi-
Gated that hunters generally would
favor stringent restrictions that will
help get Ohios game population out
of its present slump.
The Ohio Conservation Commit
tee, adhering closely to recommend
ations made by farmer and sports
men delegates attending the public
game hearing last week, voted to
close the season on skunk for the
entire state and also on hungarian
partridge due to continued slump in
populations. There was no open sea-
SON on skunk last year in district
7 comprised of the 13 counties in
southern Ohio. Indications are that
the skunk population has dropped
so rapidly in the past several years
that this wildlife family is threat
ened with extinction.
Other regulations set by the Com
mission last week, tentatively,
named September IS to 27 as the
open season on squirrel for the en-
tire state leaving the daily bag limit
as four and possession limit four.
No change was made in trapping
season or bag limits except that the
Lake Erie Trapping District opening
date was changed to November Is
for mink and muskrat to coincide
with the opening date of the Inland
Trapping District. The closing date
in the Lake Erie District remains at
March IS while the closing date for
the Inland District is January Is
Bag or possession limits on raccoon
were not changed.
All hunting and trapping regula-
tions receiving action at the June
meeting remain tentative and are
subject to official vote of the Com.
mission at its July session before
orders are written making then
law.

Report On Ohio
Crop Conditions

Ohio farmers have been able to
plant only 25 to 80 per cent of their
normal oat acreage, the corn crop
was not more than one third
planted on June II, and rains have
prevented normal paintings of
sugar beets and tomatoes up to
June II; but staff members of Ohio
State University and the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station still expect Ohio
will produce crops in 1947 to feed
its people and its livestock.
Corn can be planted for grain up
to June 25 and for silage up to July
l with an even chance of getting
good crop. The agriculturists
meeting at the University June IL
agreed that corn should be planted
up to the limit of the late planting
dates in preference to any other
crop.
An ace in the hole for Ohio farm
erS is the ownership of power tools
which make possible the plowing,
seedbed fitting, and planting of a
lot of acres in a short time. With a
decent break in weather conditions
up to July /, the Ohio acreages of
corn, beets, and tomatoes are likely
to be large enough to produce up to
average.
Importance of fertilizer in help
ing the growth of all late planted
crops was emphasized by the agro-
nomiStS Farmers are urged to use
200 to 800 pounds of sulphate of
ammonia per acre on corn which
is planted on sod that carried
heavy growth of timothy. The fert-
iliZer can be ploWed down or be
applied as a side dressing up until
the corn is knee high.
Ohio apparently will have aver
age potato and green vegetables
crops. Potatoes have been planted
in southern and central Ohio and
can be planted up to July l in the
northern part of Ohio if Katahdin
or some other short season variety
is used. Vegetables are late but are
quantities now.
Only half of Ohio's normal acre
| age of peas for commercial canning
was planted this year, and the crop
is about ready for harvest. Farmers
could increase sweet corn acreage
for canning but the processing
capacity of cannerieS prevents such
| acreage expansion.
The states prospective acreage of
soybeans grows larger each day that
corn planting is delayed. Profitable
yields of soybeans can be expected
from paintings made as late as July
l. Planting delays have less effect
on soybean yields than on corn. Soy
beans can mature a crop in about
100 days from the date of planting
Ohio's 1947 fruit prospects are
better than in 1916. Damage done
by late frost and by heavy rains ir
the blooming period reduced crops
in some orchards but Ohio will have
more apples than in 1916, twice a:
many peaches, and fair crop oi
sour cherries. Rains have disrupted
spraying schedules and apple scab is
cutting down the quality of Ohio
apples more than usual.

ayers to cross 1948 off their calen-
dars. The Democratic Party, with
out the backing Of the labor vote,
they knew, might as well not have a
candidate.
Into this situation stepped that re-
doubtable Republican leader (ouchD
John L. Lewis. The Democratic
managers are not at all dissatisfied
with the result of the ensuing bat
ties. They have learned that most
other labor leaders entertained a
sneaking sympathy for the Presi-
dent during the succession of en-
tanglements with Mr.. Lewis. That
was very definite gain for Mr..
Truman.

1t is acting with what labor considers

labor sees it, for an angry executive,
faced with national emergency and
beset by an angry public, to take
sides and hit hard. A fight is fight
and 1t Is possible to respect good
fighter. But 1t is another thing to
tie the hands Of one OF the eontend-.

Is what Congress is seeking to do,

The Republican leaders may have

restrictions on labor. They obvious.

not insist on putting them all in one
package. 1t is their idea, perhaps,
that the President might pick and
choose a number of labor bills; sign
those he found acceptable and veto
the others. They would deny him
this opportunity; make him take all
or nothing.
That being the case, most of
Washington is betting the President
will take nothing. He is expected
to veto any omnibus labor bill that
contains as many revolutionary ap-
proaches to the labor problem as
that which now has the right of way
in the House and seems likely to get
the same in the Senate.

years OF age, looking old enough
to be my own father. and Uncle
Sheck so exhausted that he was two
lyears recovering.
That Model T was Uncle Sheck's
first car, and when we left Atlanta
he had only soloed in it couple of
times. To insure that he would
handle the big machine correctly,
he had installed q sort of home
made music rack in front Of the
steering wheel, and on this, held
by a rubber band, was the book of
instructions that came with the
car.
Pause With Every Rattle.
Whenever a doubt assailed him,
he would stop and read page or
two. And doubt gripped him every
time there was a new rattle, which
meant that we seldom ever went
more than three or four miles with
out halt. He would never proceed
without locating the rattle and
satisfying himself that it did not
involve the wheels or the steering
wheel. He had q deadly fear that
a wheel would come OF, or that the
steering wheel would snap off in
his hands. Actually, this would not
have been very serious because we
were in ruts so deep that the car
couldn't possibly have gotten out
Of them, and could easily have gone
on to Jacksonville without any one
steering it.
But 1t was the water in the radia-
tor that made me II before my time.
Uncle Sheck believed-and I shared
his belief-that to keep the motor
cool the water in the radiator should
be cool. Every half hour or so he
would come to stop and dispatch
me under the car to open the radia-
tor pet-cock and test the water.
Naturally, 1t was always hot
Drain it, Henry" he would say.
I'VE don't want 1t to boil and ruin
the motor"
I'd drain it, and then he would
give me big bucket he had brought
along for the purpose and send me
of IN search Of water. Sometimes
Uncle Sheck would decide the water
needed changing when we were in
front Of or near a farmhouse, but
more times than not we stopped in
barren wilderness, and it was my
duty to walk until I found a farm
house with a well. Then I would
fill the radiator and we would pro-
ceed at our dizzying pace.
Nerve Center of Car.
Uncle Sheck worried great deal
about the battery that ran the lights,
too. Why, I don't know, because
we never intended to drive at night.
But while I went for water for the
radiator he would lift the floorboard,
remove the battery, and I would al
ways find him polishing it when I
came back.
This Is the nerve center Of the
car, son." he would explain to me
wisely. Anything happen to it, and
there is no telling what would hap
pen to the car" He would continue
scrubbing 1t until it shone like a
precious stone and then lower it
back into place for new splashing
OF mud and coating of dust.
I wish I had space to tell you of
another Model T trip, taken when
was II in the company of the
Rev. Martin. He kept a loaded
shotgun across his knees while driv-
ing, and always kept the side cur
tains up in case of quick thunder
shower. I'll never forget the late
afternoon when a wild turkey walked
across the country road and the Rev.
Martin, abandoning the steering
wheel of the car to the Lord, fired
through the isinglass curtains and
bagged the turkey.
