BluftOn Polio Fund Drive

Mrs. Steiner said They will choose
their workers and also help in the ac-
tual solicitation.
Captains are Mrs Leland Diller

One team will get chance to
prove its point this evening, Ada by
repeating their win over the Pirates,
Bluffton by scoring solid triumph
to prove their mastery over the team
which gave them stinging $3.50 loss
early in January.
Ada will rest their hopes on the
scoring abilities of Bob Runser and
Rog Cooley, rangy seniors who COM
bined to swing the wrecking bar
against the Pirates in January. To
chill these two scorers Bluffton coach
Joe Harris might use the developing
defensive abilities of Ralph Reichen-
bach, who proved himself against
Harrod's slippery Chuck Carman.
Ada's hopes of repeating their win
might rest in the chances that Bluff
toms Tim Diller will run into foul
trouble again. In both of Bluffton's S
losses this season Diller was forced
to ride the bench for many precious
minutes while Bluffton frittered away
chance after chance. If Diller and
his coverage of Runser drop out of
the game Bluffton might face cold,

Orange Township Father Of Fiue Named
BIuftOn' s Outstanding Young Farmer

An Orange township man, John I.
Warren, who at 26 is already the
father of five husky sons and the
youngest man ever to serve as elder
of the Bluffton Presbyterian church,
was named as the outstanding young
farmer of the Bluffton area for 1851.
Selection of the Hancock county
man for the honor was announced this
week by James Daley, chairman of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
committee in charge of the local
event.
Warfen's name will be entered in
state competition by the local Jaycee
organization.
The annual award is made on the
basis of outstanding accomplishments
in agriculture and for community
service in general.
Started With Rented Farm
Young Warren began his farming
career with a rented 40-acre farm Ia
1949 after graduating from Mt. Cory
high school. By 1855 he had been
received into full partnership with his
father, Clyde Warren, and the part
nership is now farming 400 acres in
livestock and general crops pro-
gram. The elder Warren is Han
cock County Commissioner.
The purchase of ditching machine
in 1852 enabled the young farmer to
clear off and tile nine acres of new
ground on his fathers farm. At the
same time he did some custom tiling
work after taking a short course in
surveying at Ohio State university.
Conservation Practices
A firm believer in sound conserva-
ton practices, John has seeded a
large permanent grass waterway and
laid a total of more than $4,000 feet
of drainage tile on the farmland he
tills with his father. He has also ap-
piled lime at the rate of two tons per
acre to 100 acres in the last two
years. His rotation basis includes 100
acres in grass and pasture yearly.
With SO acres now sowed to winter
wheat, John plans to plant 100 acres
in corn this spring with 35 in oats, AZ
in beans and 80 acres in grass. Com
pletely mechanized, Warren can ham
die his entire corn picking and stor-
ing operation single handed. However,
he also has the spare time assistance
of two brothers, Richard, junior at
Cory-Rawson high, and Jimmy, a
sophomore at the aOSD college Of
agriculture. Anotherf brother, Robert
assisted on the farg Until two years
ago when he went to Arcadia as
teacher and coach.
The farming operation will provide
more than enough feed for so to 100
head of Hereford steers and heifers,
Is head of gifts due to farrow in
May, 40 ewes lambing the latter part
of March and three dairy cows the
Warrens milk for home consumption.
This leaves wheat and beans for
cash crops and some corn, oats and
hay are usually available for sale.
Trys New Methods
Eager to try new methods, young
Warren this year is one of the first
in the area to try stilbestrol growth
hormone capsuls implanted in the
ears of his steers. Previously stilbes-
troll was given in the food, but the
newer methods said to be more eff
