Depredations Reported Serious

Animals, No Longer Hunted for

In District

Raccoon that were stocked and
propagated in this area for many
years until their depredations in
1948 made noticeable inroads on
farm products, this summer are be-
coming more destructive than ever,
with chickens and growing corn the
two choice items on their menu.
Raids by the animals on poultry
and early sweet corn long have
passed the nuisance stage, and
farmers are regarding the growing
numbers of raccoon in woods and
fields as a definite menace to farm
operations.
What steps to take in coping with
the situation, however, have farm
ers puzzled, and many who deplore
raccoon depredations at the same
time admit there appears to be
little that can be done in the way
of preventive measures in the near
future.
IHANGE IN ASHlONS
Behind the increasing depreda-
tions of raccoon is a change in
fashions. Women no longer wear
raccoon furs, and the slap-happy
collegians who 20 years ago sported
raccoon coats long have disappeared
from the scene.
Consequently, the raccoon skin,
formerly in heavy demand, has drop
ped to fourth place in local fur
marketing; following muskrat, OPP
possum and skunk in the order
named.
When raccoon furs were in favor
for wearing apparel, there was no
problem involved in keeping the
population well in check, for pelts
20 years ago sold for prices as high
as SS each, and hunters were in the
field constantly during open season
Good prices continued to prevail
even through 1916 when hunters
were getting 1925 on local markets
for raw pelts, but last winter the
price dipped to low of $3.50, re-
moving most of the incentive for
hunters to scour the woods in search
of the animals.
LITTLE HUNTING
Another factor contributing to
growth of the raccoon population
was the fact that during most of
the war years hunters had compare
lively little time for coon hunting
AS result, the number of rae
coon roaming wild in this area are
greater than in the memory of old
er inhabitants, for the animals
multiply rapidly and have few nat

ural enemies. Only dogs and foxes
war on the raccoon population, and
there is little danger to the animals
from those sources for they forage
principally at night when dogs are
kept at home because farmers don't
want them attacking sheep, Foxes,
on the other hand, are few in num-
Der, because of repeated fox hunts
to keep them under control.
While there isn't much which can
be done this summer to change the
overall picture, there is the belief
that factors are in the making which
may cut down the raccoon popula-
ton before another summer.
MAY CUT POPULATION
One is the fact that the Bluffton
Community Sportsmen's club which
discontinued it's restocking program
last summer likely will not resume
it this year. During the time the
restocking program was in operation
the club had a standing offer for
live coon for 81 over the pelt price
for males and $3.50 for females.
Indications pointing to less over
time employment in industries and
business during the coming wnter
probably will give hunters more time
to hunt raccoon. Even though pelt
prices remain at low levels, most
raccoon hunting is for the sport
involved, as the monetary return
seldom will recompense hunter for
his investment in coon dog and ne
cessary equipment.
Disease also may be another fac
tor in decreasing the population,
for naturalists say that wild life is
affected for cycles. One type of
animal will increase until some dis
ease wipes out large part of the
breed, then the cycle starts all over
again.

SHORTS AND MIDDLTNGS

One-half of one per cent of Ohio
cattle are still infected by tubercu-
losis. There are approximately $780,
900 heads of cattle in the state and
of this number we have but 600
tuberculosis-free accredited herds.
There will be money in hogs next
year. Mervin Smith, rural economist
at Ohio State University, says that
the corn-hog ratio is still favorable
for hog raising and is expected to
be favorable next year.
The herd of registered Jersey
cattle owned by Otto Miller, Jr., and
