NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM

A committee of Wilbur Peters,
James Lenke, Carl Wainwright and
myself have selected the stops for
the cattle tour to be held Thurs
day, April T. After visiting 18
farms throughout the county we
settled on five stops for the after
noon tour We plan to start at
Gaylord CrollS at lis pm. then
proceed to Ray AtWaterS, Wilbur
Peters, Don Kuhlman and end at
James Lenke. We hope you can
come along.
Ottawa county dairymen can be
proud of NOBA technician Dick
Wilson. He is a hustler and the
1854 record showed he increased
his work among dairy farmers
while many counties slipped back
little. We learned at the annual
NOBA meeting that Ohio is now
tied with some other states on
frozen semen to bring you wider
variety of better bulls.
We are getting scads of requests
for literature on lawns, trees, and
shrubs and fruit tree spraying. EX-
perience has taught us that success
will follow if you do what EXten-
sion bulletins say Most of these
bulletins are free so avail your
selves of this opportunity before
you miSSpend lard earned money.
Last weekend | took five Junior
Leaders to Columbus for a special
program. Eileen Clayman and
Shirley Haynes went along to re-
ceiVe the Junior Leader Award be-
fore large group assembled
from over the state. Setting for
the program was the beautiful
student Union building on the Ohio
State University campus. After the
ceremony they received colorful
All jackets from the Ohio Farmers
Insurance Co. Also along on the
trip were Betty Kramer and Frank
Brough of Port Clinton and John

too good to turn down offer to be-
cme chief designing engineer at
the Northrop Aircraft Co. at Haw-
thorne, Calf, and off to the West
Coast moved the Guggisbergs and
son Rocky. Their Perry-st home
has been rented to Mr.. and Mrs
Gerald Floro.
Rocky, who left PCHS in the
middle of his sophomore year, is a
Junior at Redondo, Calf, and plans
to attend the University of South
ern California to study fish and
oceanography. The GuggiSberg
home is right on the ocean at Her

and they like California very
much although they do miss Port
Clinton, writes Virginia. Hugh and
Mae Barnes Manley (ske's Vir-
ginia's mother) have been visiting

month.
Virginia writes she caught the
