Fire And Wind Damages To Local Farms
Decline In Sc, Insurance Report Shows

The amount of losses paid by the
Richland Township Farmers Mutual
Insurance association in 1856 declined
almost S1350 from the 1855 figures it
was revealed in the annual report
released this week by Earl Matter,
secretary of the association.
At the same time the number of
policies in force increased to 557,
while the amount of the risks reach
ed $5,043,690 an increase of over
$500 900.
One of the main reasons for the
substantial decline in the amount OF
claims paid is due to the fact thai
only $8.88 in fire losses were paid for
all of 1856. This compares with 1855
losses of $1175.95. Wind losses also
dropped the past year. Only lightning
losses, up to S959.75 from $584.07
showed an increase over the previous
figures.
An assessment of $685. AS was col
lected this year when the December
1855 balance dipped to $9,042.93 This

of Findlay college on the basis of
available facts.
Keller's ineligibility was announced
December 27 after he had scored 70
points in Findlay's first three games.
Keller's case had been studied by the
league mediation board for about two
weeks before its ruling was made
known, according to Burcky.
Houdeshell indicated that his ap-
peal may be based on the impression
that no question of Keller'S eligibility
was filed while the Oilers were play
ing these three non-league games.
Burcky stated that the league has no
power over members when they are
playing non-league games.
Bluffton coach Kenny Mast stated
that his team will go into the game
practically cold as they will have had
only two practices after the long
Christmas layoff. For one of the few
times this season the Beavers may
have a slight height advantage, as
only one of the Findlay starters,
Hanauer, tops the six foot mark.
Houdeshell has a strong youth
movement in force on the Oiler cam
pus with Captain Connie Walcutt, a
six footer, the only junior on his start
ing five. Two sophomores, jim
Denney and Fred Polinski, and a
pint-sized freshman deadeye, AL
Cohill, make up the rest of his first
five.
The Beavers will have another
tough hurdle the following Tuesday
when they meet undefeated Hunting
ton, Ind, at Founders Hall. Hunting
ton. team which whipped the Bea-
vers soundly both times they met last
year, is reported to have most of last
years crew back. They are paced
by 6-5 center named Roethlick who
is supposed to be one of the better
scorers in Indiana small colleges.

Good news for local farmers.
hunters and wild game alike came
in the form of an announcement from
Bill Robnolte, Allen county game pro-
tector, that series of multi-flora
rose paintings is being planned for
this spring.
Under present plans the state con-
servation bureau will furnish the
plants, a planter and a man to
operate the planter. Farmers want
ing the plants must supply only the
tractor. Robnolte said it is hoped
that planting will get underway as
soon as farmers are able to get on
the land.
The multi-flora rose is a deeprooted
plant which grows to such thickness
that it will turn any form of livestock.
Robnolte tells of a farmer near
Harrod who fences in even such
animals as sheep and Brahma bulls
with his multi-flora rose hedgeroWs.
It usually takes three years for the
hedgerows to reach their full growth,
but they provide good shelter even
in their first year. Most farmers
plant two rows with string OF
barbed wire on either side. The
barbed wire gives extra fencing pro-
lection until the plants reach matur-
Iity.
Although the plants will spread
they can be kept under control easier
than the Usage orange and other
plants which have been introduced
as game cover. Normal soil tilline
will control any of the plants which
appear in the cultivated fields, &C
cording to Robnolte Most farmer:
with the living fences on their pro
perty NOV up to ten feet from the
edge of the plants.
Robnolte cautioned that one spray
ing will kill the plants.
The thick plants also provide excel
lent winter cover for wild game. Th
sheltered travel lanes in the hear
of the hedgerows also gives game
chance to travel from spot to spo
with safety. They are also a sourc
of food for birds when snow gets S
deep that normal food supplies ar
under cover, as they bear numbe
of red berries which are kept abov
any snowfall.
Some farmers interested in soil COZ
t servation favor the roses becaus
their thickness and deep roots Civ
e excellent protection against soil err
sion.
One group of local hunters WI
visited a Paulding county farm
1855 reported that the multi-flora roS
hedgerows on that place yielde
more than so cock pheasants in OF
day. This compares favorably wit
game sightings for the entire seasc
for most men, who hunt in the loc
u areas.

ings for their farms this spring shou
