NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM

Some 4-H'er may be interested
in Brown Swiss calf. If so contact
Wilton Gulau east of Oak Harbor
Quite a few persons have been
in about chiggers in hay or straw.
Everytime they go into the hay.
NOW they get mess of bites which
keep a person very uncomfortable
Naturally they are interested in
some relief. If you dust Sulfur in
to your shoes and clothing before
entering the barn you will prevent
the insect attacks. If you have some
bites you can get relief by apply
ing a 1919 solution of benzocaine
in alcohol. If you have chiggers in
the lawn you can apply chlordane,
lindane or toxaphene.
A problem about which very lit
tie can be done is our dying elm
trees. The disease attack is very
severe here in Ottawa County and
northwestern Ohio in General. We
have talked with our entomolo-
giSts and pathologists in Columbus.
They told me that you can gain
partial control by spraying twicS
in the spring and summer. With
heavy concentrations of DDT. Your
only recourse now is to cut down
diseased trees. Some areas have a
law that you must cut diseased
elmS.
If some trees die it means we
must get on the ball and plant
those trees resistant to insect and
disease. Do you recall those terrib-
ly hot days of a lew weeks ago
when you moved into the comfort
able shade of a tree? Did you real
ly appreciate that tree? That prob
ably someone made a lot of effort
25 or so years ago so you could
be comfortable. Well lets think a.
bout the future. Fall and spring
are satisfactory times to plant. If
you want trees for Wind-breaks,
odd areas, Christmas trees and so
on We have the order blanks a.
vailable. The supply is always
shorter than the demand so get
your order in Immediately.
Last week the Junior Fair Board
met to make last minute plans for
the fair. The meeting was called
to order by president Don Hoeft
After a few announcements the
group divided into smaller groups
to discuss their specific plans.
Those present on the committee:
Beef Cattle = Melvin Myerholtz,
Lloyd Sutton, Roger Peters; Swine
= Lyle Peters, Richard Harder;
Sheep - Frank Brough, Kenneth
Rlsch; Rabbits = Dwayne Henry,
Bernard Blausey; Poultry - Jerry
Miller, Virgil Base; Dairy = Don
Hoeft, Glen Klaustermyer, Lowell
Rothert; Floats and Awards - Jer-
ry Johns, Shirley Haynes, Ann
Browder; Armory and Town Hall
= Rolans Schumacher, Beve Henry.
From the plans that were made
the fair will have a bigger and
better Junior Fair this year. This
is made possible by our Junior
Fair Board Members and their
hard work to make it that way.
