iums being $500 for first, $1,000
for second, $500 for third, and
$500 for fourth in each class.
Class "a" found Charles Hayes
driving his John Deere Mt,
down the line to first place. He
was followed very closely by
Larry Miller of Caldwell, operat-
ing a John Deere 40, 3,740
pounds, drawing up in second.
Pulling and tugging into third
place was Bill Lashly, of Seneca
vile. He jockeyed a Ford COL,
$500 pound tractor. William
Douglas put his Ford 49,, $500
pounds, through some mighty
fine PAGES and was awarded
fourth place.
Other winners strained and
ground the wheels into the fol-
loiwng places: George King, Ford
681, 3,795 pounds, fifth; G.. G.
Miller, John Deere 40, 3,74O
pounds, sixth; Harold King, Ford
681, $500 pounds, of Caldwell,
seventh; last, but by far from

bring a can of gas with him.
The class "B" contest found
John Rech and his John Deere
"B", 5000 pounds, from Marietta,
in first place. Bowling to Rech by
just few feet, was Paul Barth,
also of Marietta, operating a
John Deere "B", 5,100 pounds,
who repeated his feat of last year
by drawing up in second. Grind
ing into third place was Dean
Becker of Whipple, thus better
ing his record of last year by one
step. He piloted John
Deere "B", 5000 pound tractor.
All three of these tractors were
pulling $500 pounds of block.
Although Larry Miller of Cald-
we'll pulled up short at $500
pounds of block, nevertheless,
he put his John Deere "B", 5000
pounds, through rigorous test
and it turned out to merit him
fourth place.
The remaining places went to
Carlos Bryan, Ford 981, fifth;
Bob Larrick of Caldwell, Ford
$50, sixth; Bill Lashley, Ford
tractor, seventh; Craig Warne,
Ford 871, eighth; Charles Hayes,
John Deere "B", ninth and G. G..
Miller on a John Deere 430 land
ed tenth.

with the results being as fol-
lows: Ralph Dunbarger with a
Farmall $50 came in first; John
Rech took second on a John
Deere 60; Bill Lashley landed
third with a Ford 88l; fourth
place went to Phiop Ullman and
his John Deere so; Dallas
Bond came in fifth place driv-
ing Ford 96l; and Craig Warne
was awarded sixth place using
a Farmall "M". The top three
contestants were pulling the sled
loaded with 1880 pounds of
cement blocks.
Only three tractors entered
the Class ID" contest. They were
tugging and pulling 1880
pounds also. First place went to
Jerry Fullerton with his mighty
John Deere go, pulling the weight
three feet and secen inches. Paul
Miller was second on big John
Deere 60 going distance of two
feet and six inches.

teams 5000 pounds and under
took the following positions:
third, w. G.. Lindamood, Chand-

inches. N. c. Rollins team, of
Adamsville, took sixth position
by pulling the same weight for
II feet, nine inches. The contests
last place went to the 3,105 team
of E. R. Rambo, Crooksville,

weight of $500 pounds the full
distance, while second placers,
$500 pound team owned by the
Mccullough Brothers of Martins
burg, took that position by pull

1000 pound difference separated
the weights of the two teams.
Two local teams were entered

eighth and ninth positions. The
first King team of 5000 pounds

The unusual is quite often the
most effective manner to accom-
plish a task; so it is with squir-
rel hunters who have taken to
the water in search of their
quarry.
Floating along the many wat
erways in the Free State is a
fascinating way to take a limit
of squirrels and offers much
tougher shooting than providing
the Woodlots.
Equipment Needed -.
The necessary gear for float
ing for squirrels is little: a
canoe or light boat, gun, hip
boots, two cars and a knowledge
of the area or a map.
A 20 gauge is the smallest
bore recommended because of

FISHING
Capt. Gene Hunt
GAIL D"
Chesapeake Beach, Nd.

From the Land of pleasant liv.
ing :. greetings!
This is a new column for the
Sentinel and will be devoted to
all of you who are addicted to
that fine form of recreation,
fishing-salt water fishing, that
is. 1t will be somewhat unique
in that it will be written by one
who is first, last and always a
fisherman. The editor has come
to the shores of the Chesapeake
and hooked this poor fish for the
job. If it is not already obvious,
it will become increasingly so
that l wouldn't know a noun
from an adverb or recognize a
proposition if it jumped in the
boat with me.
Fishing, on the other hand is
my lifework. I own and operate
the "Gail D" out of Rod & Reel
Club down at Chesapeake
Beach, Md. Alpine 1901
and being on the bay every day
and in constant radio contact
with most of the other charter
boats from Annapolis to Point
Lookout should place me in a
pretty good position to have a
fairly accurate idea of what's
happening here on the bay.
Since this is new to me, l will
sort of feel my way along and
try to give you what you want in
a piece of this sort. Any sug-
gestions from you folks will be
a big help. I'll get them if you'll
address your letter to the Sen.
tinel.
Unfortunately, many folks
feel now is the time to stow
their gear and forget about fish.
ing It'll next spring. How wrong
can you be? October, November
and December is the time when
the best fishing is just begin.
ming. Racking up now would be
like leaving your wife just be-
fore the honeymoon.
Now is the time when the
fabulous rockfish are streaming
out of the rivers and down from
the headwaters to gather in
larger and larger schools in the
middle and lower bay. Now is
the time when the hint of win.

better hurry and prepare for the
freeze that will soon be on the
land and sea alike. And so the
rockfisn are now frantically
scurrying about, gorging, build
ing up the fat needed to see
them through the dormant,

the creeks sink their roots deep
into the moist banks, the prob
lem of drought and a poor nut
crop is eliminated. Invariably,
the hickories, walnuts, oaks
and other nut bearing trees
along waterway always pro-
duce a good yield. Then too,
ferns, mushrooms and other
choice foods of the bannertails
grow throughout the summer
along the shaded river bottoms
and encourage the squirrels to
remain there.
Such conditions prevent the
squirrel populations from fluc-
uating from year to year. And
the gunner who floats; picks off
a squirrel here, then maybe a
quarter-mile downstream and
on a little farther. This scat
tered harvest of squirrels
doesn't eliminate whole families
of squirrels as the woodlot hunt
err often does.
Hunt Small Streams
Polling instead of padding is
the preferred method. The
smaller streams are much bet
ter to hunt than the Potomac
and Monocacy. On the larger
rivers the gunners can only
hunt one shoreline, failing to
see or hear what travels the
far away bank. On small
streams the vegetation grows
right down to the waterline,
while on the Potomac the trees
and fallen nuts lie high up on
the bank. This results In the
hunter not seeing or hearing
many squirrels on larger rivers.
This is not to say that float
ing and hunting the Potomac is
not effective. Among the many
islands in the lower Potomac
hunter can take his limit of
fox and grey squirrels. On the
upper Potomac, above Williams
port, the river is smaller and
here again hunting is very good.
Floating silently on a misty
fall morning down a small
meadow stream, when the whole
outdoor world Is beginning to
awake, is an experience no hunt
er should miss. An added divi-
dend is the sunrises. Everyone
extolls the sunsets, probably be-
cause they are up to see them,
but a frey sunrise burning the
morning fog from the water is
reason enough why some wise
Maryland hunters float the
waterways each fall for their
squirrels.

the many long shots that have
to be made at times. Hip boots
are required if the gunner hunts
along smaller streams. These
come in handy when getting out
to pull the craft over the shall.
low rifles encountered, and to
retrieve squirrels.
The boat should be light and
not draw much water - a canoe
is perfect. Getting in and out
of the boat will cause some wat
er to be deposited on the floor
of the craft. An old bucket
or can to toss the downed SPUR
rels in and another for extra
shells, clothing and lunch, will
keep them dry.
