partment issued a lower cotton crop
estimate than its November report,
The department estimated the 1858
crop as Of December I at, 1868, 900
bales which was 100000 bales under
its November forecast of l4,s43.OO0
bales. The department dropped its esti-
mate on crop yield to 416 pounds per
acre as compared with 431 pounds cSti-
mated a month earlier. Traders felt a
modest decline in production prospects

in this country.
The cotton trade had looked for a
higher figure. with average ideas rang
ing from ISL million to 1872 million
bales.
Buying was credited primarily to
short covering. with gains extending to
more than 81. q bale. Prior to the re-
port. the market had been of as much

Fur Business On The Skids
Local PeLt Buyers Agree

Local fur buyers are in agreement
with the Ohio Wildlife Department.
officials in a recent report that the
one-time million dollar per year Ohio
fur trapping industry is on the skids.
The local buyers, however, disagree
with the state department that the
shortage Of animals has nothing to
do with it, and that low prices is the
sole deterrent to the business. Jesse
Manages and Russell Leiber, who have
been buying pelts here for years, be-
heve that a scarcity Of the little fur
bearers is very evident at least in the
Bluffton area.
The two local buyers declare that
the clearing of drainage bitches,
which formerly sheltered dens Of The
animals, has affected supply. They
say that much of the local breeding
stock has migrated to other areas.
The shortage is most noticeable here
in muskrat and mink.
Another reason for the decline. ac-
cording to Manages and Leiber is this

seasons late opening. AS opposed to
former years when the season opened
November l, this Year the seasons
trapping was delayed to December /
and, as a result, many ex-trappers
and buyers are not active.
Many trappers did not take part in
the season this year because of the
10y opening price which was under
81 at the start of the season. Musk
Tats and racoon are now bringing
'$l.5G, it was pointed out.
That price is now the best that has
been paid for rats and coon in the
past three years when the average
was $1.25, nearly 100 per cent lower
than was received during the peak of
the war years.
According to the Ohio WildIife De-
partment, with price of raw furs still
relatively low, it seems likely that the
fur take for this year will also show
a decline from 1953-54 which was the
lowest in the past ten or more years.

Rain Fails To
Completely Halt
Quarry Cleanup
SpOrtsmen Spend New Years
Day Seeking Sources For
Fish Restocking

Old man weather stepped in and
halted most Of the work the Sports
mems Club mepbers had planned
Saturday for thejf annual New Years
Day cleanup program at the Buckeye
Park in preparation for their 1855
Rainbow Troht and Walleye Derby
scheduled to/open May l.
While thf rain kept the major pro-
jects under cover the workmen went
ahead With some of the planned actiy-
tiles. A group of men under the
supervision of Dave Riser, head of
the Buckeye Quarry and Park De-
partment, removed the park picnic
tables to the high school where voca-
tional agricultural students under the
direction Of Lorain Basinger will
make repairs and give them a coat
of paint.
Although a few scrub trees were
trimmed out the dampened under
brush made It impossible to burn up
the weeds. This project has been
postponed Until spring.
Assisting Riser in the work were
John Gilbert, A. c. Burcky and
George McCune.
With an eye toward possible sourc-
es of obtaining perch for the annual
Trout Derby directors John Gilbert,
Dave Risser, Aldine Weiss and Eu-
gene Benroth made trip to Monroe,
Mich, to contact fisheries on the
River Raisin.> Reports are that the
perch run is heavy in the area early
in April and that plenty of perch
should be available by Derby time by
the suppliers.
Meanwhile fishing at the Water
Works quarry continues to attract
many anglers and some good catches
are reported. Sunday afternoon sew
eral persons caught two or three
perch and another claimed a half
dozen nice sizeh perch.
Anglers who wish to try their hand
at winter fishing may obtain minnows
and crawlers from Aldine Weiss, live
bait dealer, on Riley street.
Brett Triplett has been selected to
assist in supervision OF the promotion
department this year and Vern Walk
er will head the photography depart
ment.

1854 Sees Fall OF Several Records,
Review Of Years Sports Shows

Although the 1854 athletic teason
for most local sports followers was
not the most exciting ever witnessed
in Bluffton, there were occasions
when the high school, college and in
dustrial teams sent the mere avid
rooters scurrying to the record books.
The new year was only two weeks
young when the first of the records
was broken. With freshman Joe Col
lingwood leading the way, the Bluff
ton college Beavers set a new single
game scoring record with a 103-46
win over Cedarville.
One of the rarities of the athletic
world occurred when the Beavers won
a 20 forfeit cage win over Wilber-
force after the southeastern Ohio
squad was delayed over two hours
due to a bus breakdown.
Less than a month after they had
set a new school scoring record
against Cedarville, the Beavers re-
wrote the record book with 111E78
trouncing of Ashland college.
The Pirates of Bluffton high
school, although experiencing medi-
ocre season, came in for some honprs
when Ralph Molder, six-foot senior
pivot man, was named to the Western
Buckeye League all-star squad. Jack
Fields and Wade Lehman received
honorable mention.
On the industrial scene the Triplett
basketball squad, resuming action af-

ter more than decade, captured first
and second-round honors in the Lima
National League. The team, managed
by Harry Klay, finished the season
with record of Al wins and 10 loss
es.
Track came in for its share of the
attention during the past season as
the Beavers of Be captured their
fourth consecutive Mid-Ohio League
track and field championship. They
gar1ered firsts in 10 of the ID events
during the meet held on the local
feH.
|The Beavers 880-yard relay team
fan the event in 1901 for the second
fastest time turned in during the sea
son among small Ohio colleges. Only
Miami university of Oxford turned in
faster clocking for the event with
a 1888.
Ralph Molder set new high school
mark in the mile run, breaking his
own record, with 4:473 clocking in
the event at the Lima Junior 0lym-
pics.
Triplett's softball team won the Al
len County Softball tournament for
the fourth time in the last five years
with 3-2 win over Eds Cigar Store
Of Lima in the finals at Faurot Park
in Lima. They captured the title
