.SOybean Harvest
Completed; Corn
Headed For Market

With the last of the local soybean
crop expected to be hauled to the To-
cal elevators by the end of this week,
Bluffton area farmers are expected
to start hauling their corn to the mar
ket beginning next week.
While yield was down considerably
on the latest soybeans to be harvest
ed compared with the earlier ar
rivals, the crop was reported to be
about average on the whole. Area
fields varied considerably from u to
40 bushels to the acre with an aver
age of about % bushels, one elevator
operator said.
The Farmers Grain company has
already shippe approximately
10000 bushels of beans and have an
other 10000 bushels in their silos
awaiting shipment.
Modern drying processes al the ele-
vators now makes it possible for
farmers to place their corn on the
market instead of waiting until the
middle of November for it to dry out
1t is estimated that approximately
one third of the corn raised locally
goes to market for cash. The remain
ing two thirds stays on the farm as
feed for livestock.

The ancient elm tree on the Pres
byterian church lawn will have tc
fight its own battle against disease
just as it has successfully done for
the last century, without the help oi
science.
If the giant spreading tree were
only younger, recently developed
chemical treatment would inoculate
1t for $3.50 chance against the Dutch
Elm disease, but as it is, old trees dc
not seem to respond so readily to the
treatment. 1t would be difficult to gel
distribution of the chemicals through
its tired old circulatory system.
This was the discouraging story re-
ceived last week by Clair B. Fett,
who has been seeking some means OF
saving the tree from the Dutch Elm
disease. The dread disease has al
ready stricken several hundred of
Blufftons trees on the college campus
and elsewhere.
Mr.. Fett this summer took his plea
for some of the elm-saving chemical
to the company reported to be man
ufacturing it. After receiving no
answer, he wrote directly to the Coll
ege of Agriculture at the University
of Rhode Island where the depart
ment of plant pathology and entom-
ology is doing research work in the
development of the Dutch Elm
disease vaccine.
Last week he received his reply
from Frank L. Howard, head of the

Beaver Victory
Sat. Will Clinch
Mid-Ohio Title

The Bluffton Beavers face an op-
portunity to delight large home
coming crowd by cIinching their
second consecutive Mid-Ohio League
championship in Saturday afternoons
game against Ohio Northern univer-
sity.
A Beaver win will eliminate every
club except Defiance from any pos
sible chance for the league champion
ship. If Ashland defeats Defiance it
will also drop the Yellowjaekets from
the race and the Beavers would stand
alone and mchallenged with still a
week to play.
A third incentive for the Beavers
will be the opportunity to score their
ninth consecutive league victory.
Ohio Northern, on the other hand,
views the game as an opportunity to
score the biggest upset of an upset
ridden league season. Gripped by
two week slump which has seen them
absorb defeats from Ashland and
Findlay, the Polar Bears will be
primed for the game with their old
rival and a chance to soil the three
fold glory of the Beavers.
Before losing to Ashland and
Findlay the Bears had scored their
first league victory in nearly two
years when they upset the Wilmington
Quakers 14-12 in an early season
game at Ada. -~-S
