Electricity Aids
Poultry F1ocks

Poultrymen can earn So for only
10 cents by using electric lights ia
increase fall egg production OF
laying flocks.
l. P. Blauser, extension agricui-
tural engineer at Ohio State Uni
versity, figures it this way: Elec-
tricity to provide light for 100
hours will cost about 10 cents a
month. With lights in laying
houses 100 hens will lay about 20
dozen more eggs in month. At
10 cents a dozen more for fall eggs
than for late winter and spring
eggs, poultrymen earn So for 10
cents.
There will be little if any in
crease in total production. Hens
will lay more of their eggs in the
fall when the prices are highest.
Blauser suggests using lights to
give 13-to-14-hour day. For
morning and evening lights he rec
ommends a 40-watt bulb for 200
square feet of floor space. A 25-
watt bulb is large enough for all
night lights.
Lights usually are started in Oc-
tober and continued until March.
County extension offices have
additional information on lights
for layers.

Lack Of Oxygen
Kills Fish In Ponds

Many fish in farm ponds die dur
ing August because they lack OK
ygen, warns r. K. Davis, extension
wildlife conservationist at Ohio
State University.
Davis says the biggest reason
for oxygen shortages is decom-
position of plants. When farmers
kill water weeds decomposition in
creases. Davis suggests spraying
one-third of pond at Today inter
walls instead of killing all weeds
at one time. Failing to fertilize a
pond which has been fertilized
earlier also may cause plants to
die.
The conServationist farm ponds
that lack enough deep water get too
warm and lose oxygen.
Fish gasping at the surface are
an indication of lack of oxygen.
Oxygen can be added by pumping
fresh water into the pond or by
stirring the water.

Garbage Disposal
Problem Aired

Oak Harbor, Elmore, and Genoa
officials met with Ottawa County
commissioners and County Sani-
tartan Lyle Kibbel in the court
house Monday to discuss plans for
a central garbage disposal fill site
for the three communities.
AS state law prohibits open
dumping of garbage after October
2, rapid action is needed. The
county commissioners were asked
to assist in maintenance of the
central garbage burying plot, and
to provide equipment to bulldoze
soil over the refuse.
Oak Harbor's councilmen have
been searching for acreage suit
able for use as a garbage disposal
site for the past month and are
hoping for land west of town so
that it would be more accessible
to Elmore and Genoa residents.

Loafhopper Can
Be Controlled

New developments in insecti-
cides now help control leafhoppers
on hay crops without danger of
residues says an entomologist at
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station. C. R. Weaver adds that
leafhopperS cost Ohio farmers
thousands of dollars worth of al
falfa hay during the past season.
Second-cutting alfalca-especial-
ly that harvested for silage-
turned yellow, lost it's leaves and
failed to grow normally during
June and July.
Primary cause for the short, sec
ond-cutting hay crop was an at
tack by the potato leafhopper. The
insect cuts total yield of alfalfa
and reduces protein and caro-
tene content-important factors
in providing good quality feed.
Dry weather in late June and
early July favored build-up of
large numbers of leafhoppers on
alfalfa. 1t is small green bug
about tenth of an inch long and
is the same one that held down po-
tato production until DDT con-
trolled it. DDT can not be used on
hay crops because of the residue
problem.
New developments in insecti-
cideS, however, now enable ento-
mologists to control leafhoppers
on hay crops without the residue
problem.
Recent tests show that methoxy-
chlor, an insecticide nearly harm.
less to humans and other warm
blooded animals, may be used to
treat second-crop alfalfa. For eff
fective control, the material
should be applied a week to 10
days after the first harvest at the
rate of " to l pound of actual
methoxychlor q to 2 quarts of 25
percent liquiO per acre.
After alfalfa is yellow, it is too
late to apply insecticides with
benefit. The same treatment may
be applied after the second har
vest for reducing the insects or
the third crop. The damage to this
crop, however, usually is less Sc
we're.
Parathion also may be usec
successfully. This material is dan
gerous to humans. 1t should be
used only by those experienced
in handling insecticides.
Used on hay crops early in the
growth period, most of the para
thion soon disappears from the
plants so hay crops will not con
tain a residue. Dosage of para
thion is u pound of actual para
| thiOn per acre.

old ICEBOXES
ARE DEATH TRAP

Abandoned or unused refriger-
atorS are serious menace to chill
dren.
This was again brought home to
mothers and fathers recently when
eleven youngsters died through
out the nation within a two-day
period as result of being trapped
in these innocent execution cham
berS.
"A number of such tragedies oc-
cur during every month of the
year, according to the Institute for
Safer Living of the American Mu-
tual Liability Insurance Company,
which collects facts and figures OH
all types of accidents.
These reasons are given for the
alarming number of child 'icebox"
suffocations: Many families have
replaced their original iceboxes
and refrigerators with modern
mechanical units without getting
rid of the old ones. Also some of
these old iceboxes find their way
to the neighborhood junk heaps.
Unused and stored in out-of-way
places, these units provide per-
feet "cave," or doll house" for
childish imaginations.
Ice box deaths are needless,
says the Institute, if parents would
only take the precaution to see
that the latch or door hinges of un-
used units are removed so that
they cannot be locked. Children
should also be we'll instructed to
keep out of refrigerators and
never to close the door when an
other child is inside.
Refrigerators in daily use pro-
vide a less serious menace than
their discarded ancestors, but the
danger is always present when
little children are around. See that
they know and respect this dan
ger.
Should this type of accident con-
tinue, future public opinion may
demand that refrigerators be man.

released from the inside when
pressure is applied, the Institute
points out.

NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED cRINp

Ray Boiler plans to set out some
everbearing strawberries. A man
in eastern Ohio found that the
only way to have everbearing
Strawberries was to use saw
dust mulch Ray plans to get a
load of sawduSt and follow this
practice.
And speaking of strawberries: |
attended Orchard Day at Wooster
with Emery Leow, Byron Swan
and Luther Peers, Emery stop
ped at farm where they grow
everbearing strawberries. There
were plenty on the vines but the
owner was busy in the peaches
and didn't have time to fill our
order.
Going on over to Wooster we
found several more Ottawa Coun-
tians including Rhinehardt Wendt,
Walter Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Ludwig, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Moore, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Moore, w. F. Rofkar, Sam Plum
mer and Hans Jansen, farm visit
or from Holland.
While at the experiment station
we learned that there is a place in
Ohio for pears. Ottawa County is
the leading pear county yet we
have had a 500 drop between
1910 and 1850.
We also learned about weed
control in grapes and strawberries
and saw the results. DIR. Ellen
wood gave us a meadow mixture to
use in apple orchards that includ-
ed birdHfoot trefoil.
A popular exhibit was the fruit
dispensing machine on display by
Mr.. Robertson of Norwalk. This
gentleman buys a lot of fruit in
Ottawa County. He is doing a big
business in packaging bulk fruit
into small packages demanded by
the consumer. The machine he
had on display will sell you a
chilled apple, peach, pear or 9TH
er fruit. 1t coughs out huge sam
pie for only dime. Reports say
! that the machines outsell soft
drink machines where school age
children are the customers.
Orval Apling is proud of his
fruit crop. He has a good set of all
apples including Red Delicious
His peaches are growing where no
other crop would grow. He attrib
utes good leaf color and large
crop to a fertilizer application.
Some of our leading farmers
have been contacted by out-of
state seed dealers. These fellows
sell unrecommended seeds at high
prices. So many folks have told
us sad tales about the beating
they took from these guys. Re

Calumet Has Four
Horses In Preakness
Entries Headed By Chanlea,
Winner OF Santa Anita Derby.

Should the devil red racing silks
of the famed Calumet Farm be seen
in action over Maryland course
this spring, it will undoubtedly be
at Pimlico. The Baltimore track
has always been a favorite cam
paigning ground for Calumet and
that establishment has nominated
four Thoroughbreds for the 100000
Preakness on Saturday, May 23rd.
Last season Calumet representa-
tives earned 1928, 1900 to set an
all time worlds record in this field.
They banked more than twice as
much during the racing year than
the sum accounted for by Calumet's
closest rival, the stable of Mary
lander Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt.
Calumets prowess in the business of
purse collecting has not diminished
in '53 since runners from that barn
took top honors in four consecutive
$4,000 stakes at the recent Santa
Anita session.
Top three-year-old, of the four
named for the Preakness by Calu-
met, is Chanlea, victor in the Santa
Anita Derby. His Preakness bound
supporting cast includes: Bob Away,
the highly touted Breeze By, and
Mark-yeWelPs full brother, Con-
jure.
The Preakness field will be drawn
from 1876 nominees and will possess
both quantity and quality, since
owners of many of this seasons turf
stars have indicated that they will
be present at Pimlico when the 81
day racemeeting opens on May 4.

driving your fathers automobile.
The steering shaft must be at least
Is inches long, must be in q hori-
zontal or sloping position. 1t must
be far enough above the floor board
to give the driver ample leg room
underneath. The steering shaft must
be installed near the top of the car.
The cars steering must be con
trolled only by means of cables lead
ing from the steering shaft, through
pulleys to the axle Any type of till
er-bar steering is forbidden.
Rules permit you to build the car
up to the 250-pound maximum for
car and driver But no loose ma
terials of any kind is permitted.
Wood or metal only may be used
provided it is built into the body
or chassis or securely bolted to the
inside of the car" Inspectors again
have the right to remove any ma
terial which they believe is unsafe.
Another new rule states that a
turnbuckle must be used with the
brake cable for easy tightening.
Builders must use eye-bolts to attach
the brake cable to the car. Screw
eyes, staples or nails are not allowed.
The brake rule points out that ply
