Grains Available
In Annual Bird
Feeding Program
SpOrtsmen's Club EnlistS
Help OF TOwnsmen; Feed
Barrel Filled At News

Buttons first taste of honest-to-
goodness winter weather this week
brought the annual request of the
Community Sportsmen's club for aid
in their annual song bird feeding pro-
gram.
Now that snow has covered the
frozen ground, the feathered crea-
lures find it increasingly difficult to
find food.
Persons wishing to share in the
protection and care of the birds may
pick up feed offered free by the
Sportsmen's club at The Bluffton
News office. The barrel of grain was
filled this week by Leland Basinger
of the Farmers Grain Co. 1t is neces-
sary to bring your own containers.
Bird feeding stations need not be
elaborate. An ordinary board tackled
on a window ledge or tree will serve
the purpose, or piece Of suet nailed
on a tree is satisfactory.
To the mixed grains offered by the
Sportsmen's club it is helpful to add
sunfower seeds raised by many local
gardeners for this special purpose
Dried crumbs from the bread box or
cookie jar are also recommended.
Suet heads the list for meat eating
birds. Scraps of meat from the table
are also helpful and attract nut
matches, tuffted titmice, chicades,
brown creepers, downy and hairy
woodpeckers and starlings.

Pipeline Break
.POnuting Riley,
TrapperS Believe
Oil Slick Killing Fish
And Spelling Trapping
Activity Near Here

Possibilities that large pipe line
has broken south of Bluffton was re-
ported this week by local trappers
who stated that an oily substance on
the waters of Little Riley creek is
killing fish and has halted trapping
activity along the stream.
Aldine Weiss, Riley street, stated
that the oil slick has been sighted
above the Myron Motter farm on the
south edge of town and that it has
been traced on the Little Riley as far
as Fryman's bridge northwest of
here.
There have been no muskrats or
other furbearing animals taken along
the creek since the season opened on
November Is. Most of the trappers
have pulled their traps along the
stream because of the polluted water.
Some danger of fire is said to exist
along the creek. Reports indicate that
serious fire could be started along
the course of the stream which, under
way, would be difficult to bring under
control

New Equipment
Steps Up Capacity
Of Local Hatchery

A heavy local demand for the ma
tionally famous Heisdorf and Nelson
"Nick Chick" Leghorns has resulted
in Amstutz Hatcheries stepping up
production capacity approximately a
third at the Bluffton plant on Har-
mon road.
E. J. Wahlie, manager of the Bluff
ton-Pandora operation, said that a
new all-electric automatic Buckeye
Streamliner hatcher has been in
stalled to hike capacity by $4,000
eggs. The new equipment now gives
the Bluffton hatchery a capacity of
100000 eggs, and 1866 eggs can be
set twice each week.
Popularity of the H & N "Nick
Chick" leghorn has made the expan-
sion necessary, Mr.. Wahlie said. He
explained that the newly developed
strain has so widened his trade area
that it has been necessary to add
three men to his sales force and in
crease the Matching capacity.
