$61.50 per duck. That was based
on a cost of $80,598.81 for the
marsh in 1858.
George says he became the hap

NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED GRIMM

Many different insects and di-
Seases are making their appear
ances already this season. An in
teresting one is large eruption on
the leaves of elm at Robert Balm
sens in Oak Harbor. 1t is called
"cockScomb gall' and is caused by
an aphid Many roses have severe
outbreaks of mildew. The average
homeowner usually doesn't have a
sprayer or duster to fight these
things so the general purpose dust
outfits are good. If you have a
duster then buy a general purpose
rose dust.
There have been some inquiries
about wide row spacing of corn.
Our experiment station has been
Wirking with several variations of
the wide row at a Sub-Station in
Wood County. Main problem has
been equipment. Now they have
published a report of available
equipment. If you receive Farm

Mid-Six League
May Soon Become
8 Team Circuit

Officials of the Mid-Six League
are considering the applications of
two schools which wish to join the
Central Ohio athletic circuit. AT
present tire league is comprised of
athletic teams from London, Wor-

Grove City and Hilliard high
schools.
According to T.V. Bancroft, prin-
cipal of the Westerville high
school, who is chairman of the
committee, the two new schools
who have submitted applications
for entry are, Marion-Franklin and
Gahanna, both Of Franklin County.
At present the two schools are
competing in the Franklin County
league which has ten teams, two
more than the desired number of
eight.
Doubtless schools of the Frank
lin County league will be glad TO
see Marion-Franklin move out for
the school has been mighty rough
competition within the past two
years while winning championships
in just about all sports. Gahanna
is located in a community which
is growing very fast and their
teams will strengthen from year to
year The announcement is expect
ed to be made soon that the two
schools will be accepted into the
Mid-Six league which will then
automatically become the Mid
Eight League Of Central Ohio. 1t
was thought that league officials,
in event the applications are ac-
cepted, might consider changing
the name of the league to THE Big
