For examples, one college labora-

chickens lay more eggs, and turkeys

"Thiouracil' has been used to make

Pigs on the hormone diet ate 405

Another hormone finding partisans
among farm folks is "Stilbesttrol," :"
which turns roosters into capons by

Orange township residents near
Bluffton this week still are effecting
repairs to buildings and cleaning up
debris left in the wake of tornado
which cut a swath of damage FIVE
miles long and approximately 800
yards wide in semi-circle around
Bluffton early Wednesday evening of
last week.
Headed northeast from the Harry
Moore farm, on the Allen-Hancock
county line road, the tornado wind
was a second edition of a one and
million dollar tornado which
had ripped Lima about an hour
earlier on the same day. The local
storm finally blew itself out on the
Milton and Howard Benroth farm,
five miles away on State Route 103.
Carpenters and roofers still were
busy on homes, barns and other build
ings this Wednesday, a week after
the storm hit, and woodlands which
suffered heavily in the windstorm will
be mass of debris for months.
Crops Damaged
Riddled corn fields, where mud
bespattered stalks are stripped much
as in hail storm, are making an
attempt to effect comeback, but
most of the crop in the stricken area
will be stunted and the yield will
suffer accordingly.
1t was nearly "a hours after the
storm struck before all roads in its
path We're re-opened. In some cases
the resumption of traffic was made
possible by showing fallen trees to one
side of the highway where they will
remain until there is time to remove
them later.
Orange township trustees assisted
by farmers working with tractors in
opening the blocked roads; and farm
ers whose homes escaped damage
helped neighbors in putting tempor-
ary roofs on buildings and effecting
other repairs.
Dead Pheasants and Rabbits
In heavily damaged woodlots, lot
of dead rabbits and pheasants could
be found, leading to conjecture that
the storm had come up SO quickly that
the game birds and animals had no
chance to find shelter.
Before dipping down into Orange
township on its trail of destruction,
the same tornado struck near the DIR.
Foust farm, one mile southwest of
Beaverdam on the Dixie highway, and
levelled a barn on the Homer F.
Weaver farm. Weaver, buried in the
debris, escaped with bruises, but a
Son, Melvin, who was outside the barn
received broken leg when he was
struck by flying barn door. In the
same area it blew down a number of
trees at large roadside park near
the Foust home. The Deeds barn
south of Beaverdam and the Fett
barn east of Beaverdam were also
completely demolished.
The tornado ripping thru this area,
however, was apparently a different
one than that which ravaged Lima
more than an hour earlier. 1t struck
here shortly after p. M, while the
Lima tornado occurred at 4:50.
Trail of Destruction
Between Beaverdam and it's major
path of destruction in Orange town
ship, the tornado dipped briefly at
the Edgar Herr farm on the Bentley
road, and again at the Rollie Moser
farm on the, Allen-Hancock county
line, where Moser's barn was badly
damaged
From there, however, the wind

to make their escape, but in addition
to the hay and straw Cook lost a
quantity of farming equipment, In

binder
In the house when the storm
struck, Cook knew the lightning
bolt had found mark nearby
Looking outside shortly after the
crash of rumbling thunder which
followed the bolt, he saw smoke
rolling from all sides of the barn.
The barn destroyed by fire was
one Of two on the Cook farm. His
other, which was not damaged, is
about 100 yards from the razeo
structure.
