NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM


Our office has just received the
new book-"Ohio's Wildlife Re-
sources. It's the best value for
dollar, I've seen. Within the COW
ers are 200 pages about wildlife.
Much is in colored pictures. Its
great book for every conserva-
ton club member, All and Scout
leaders and anyone interested in
our wildlife. A better cover can
be purchased but it costs little
more Write Ohio Division of Wild
life, 1900 Dublin Road, Columbus,
Ohio for your copy
Farmers intend to plant 1,311,-
900 acres of soybeans in Ohio this
year. About 10000 acres more
than 1854. In the us. acreage is
expected to be up 1,228,000 acres.
Can this mean lower prices for the
soybean grower.
Gardeners are advised not to
send soil samples to Wooster for
testing. The testing of soil sam
plies is handled through the county
agents office located in Oak Har
Dor post office Charge is one dol
lar for standard tests.
Edgar DEWITT solved a drainage
problem with a shallow waterway
in the middle of long field He
said low spots in the field former
ly drowned out the crops. Now
the field drains completely over
the surface. Harley Miller with a
bulldozer did the soil moving. An
ordinary breaking ploW can be used
too.
Woodrow Kohlman and Leroy
Herring early cut new meadows
last week to killweeds. That rich
first growth of hay will make an
excellent mulch for future crops.
We recommended over radio and
TV the spraying of spittlebug. If
the hay is tall, as much of it is,
you better increase the dosage from
/ quart to / Y quarts. Aphids do
not seem to be present so we doubt
the need of putting on 2 quarts.
1t is doubtful if old meadows need
to be sprayed-just the new mea-
dowS.
New uses for honey-washing
hair, taking baths and treatment
for burns. At least that is the
word from G. " Knepper, county
bee inspector. The whole family
claims it works. Perhaps te future
of the bee business will be much
better.

All CLUB BOOM
Seen IN COUNTY

Five new All Clubs for boys
were organized last week. Pros
poets for two more new clubs will
bring the total number of boys
clubs to twenty two. Enrolment
for boys is expected to reach the
300 mark.
Three of the new clubs were or
ganized in Oak Harbor and will
specialize in electricity. Ed Deu-
schel will be advisor to the Battery
Boys while Elery Wolf will have
the High Voltage All Club. Clubs
organized by Don Schroeder and
Dick Wilson have not been named.
The club formed by Wilson includ-
ed boys just east of Oak Harbor.
In Danbury township Harry Hall
plans to start an electric club. Max
Knepper organized a new club in
Portage township last Friday night
Through the efforts of Gerald Won
nell and Frank Brough a welding
club may be started in Bay town
ship.
Prospects for reaching the goal
of IT'S members are very bright
according to county agent Fred T.
Grimm. In several cases Grimm
said clubs are going together to
form small bands with the thought
that county All Club band may
be formed.

Black Pans
With the coming of rhubarb
season, homemakers have the
chance to give pots and pans the
spring shine. If you have alumni
mum pans that are black from
boiling water, potatoes, etc, cook
the stems of the rhubarb for about
5 minutes and your pans will glist-
en-. The black coating on the pan
is harmless so you can eat the
rhubarb. There may be a slight
off flavor and if you have an
abundance of rhubarb you may
prefer not to eat your cleaning
agent. But if you buy it, it would
be Wasteful not to eat the rhubarb
as the off-flavor can hardly be de-
tected.

1927 Chill DREN GET VACCINE
SHOTS IN SCHOOL VISITATl0NS

A total of 1877 Ottawa county
first and second graders had re.
ceived the first shots of SaIk anti
polio vaccine last Friday when the
county health department complet.
ed its visitation TO all county
schools.
''Pick-upS" . the children who
had signed up for the shots but
were absent when their school was
visited were scheduled to re-
port to the county health offices
Wednesday. Second injections will
be given the week of May 16, fol-
lowing the school schedule observ-
ed last week.
DR.. G. R. Ley, at GYPSUM; DR..
c. R. Wood, at Catawba; DR.. j. C.
Witker, at Lakeside; DR.. Votaw,
at Elmore; and DR.. Duffendock,
at Genoa, aided in completion of
the school inoculations the latter
part of the week.
School officials made special
point of expressing appreciation to
the county health department for
the smoothness and efficiency with
which the program was carried out
There were no reports of any
reaction to the first shot nor did
the health department receive calls
from worried parents. The News
last Thursday published a bulletin
that none of the vaccine used local
ly came from the Cutter labora-
tories, all used here coming from
Wyeth'S Inc. in Philadelphia.

Something New

Should you plan to visit some
one in Toledo Hospital now, you
can pretty much set your own
time.
Visiting hours, announce the
superintendent, will be liz hours
daily-from 9 am. to $3.50 pm,
for medical and surgical patients
Maternity patients may be visited
six hours daily, II am. to 1890
pm., 2:30 to pm. and $50 to
$50 pm. The hospital announced
the change is being made because
it feels the longer visiting time
helps patients by spreading their
visitors over a greater number of
hours. A card system will still con-
troll the number of visitors in
room at one time.
Wonderful convenient for visit
ors-but we can't help wondering
when nurses in a Small-staff hos
pital would get in the patients
room to get their work done, if
all institutions followed suit.

The new plant is being built
at West Memphis. Ark. by the
Middle South Utilities. Inc.
headed by Edgar H. Dixon, and
the Southern Co.. headed by
Eugene Yates. The private firms
have signed 25-year contract
with the Atomic Energy Com
mission to furnish the Tennes-
see Valley Authority additional
power to make up for IVA cur
rent to be used after 1857 by
atomic plants.
Under the contract, the util-
ity group will deliver the power
to the middle of the Mississippi
River. The IVA must build a
transmission line to carry it the
rest of the way. and opponents
of the Dixon-Yates project have
centered their fight on blocking
this link.

ing TVA funds, is now before

partment recently asked a $73t
million boost in funds to speed
up production of B-52 jet

proved by both Democrats anc
