NO GOOD.
The Soft Maple is Short Lived
and Should Not Be Planted
Out as a Shade Tree.

Every year, in all parts Of the city,
the yellow foliage of the soft maple is
constantly in evidence against its use rs
shade tree.
About the Court honse, about the
churches, in rows here and there before
dwellings, they have turned pale, then
yellow, and finally in scores of cases
they have dropped their shriveled
spotted leaves and given up the ghost,
leaving long blank spaces where other
wise we should have fine shade trees.
We knew that the habitat of the
soft maple was in wet ground, and
therefore attributed its decay to the
lack Of moisture in our gravelly soil
and under our paved streets. But the
manner in which rows of trees would
be affected, one after another in success
sion, suggested that some insect might
be destroying the foliage, and that it
would spread its work from one tree to
another. We, therefore, sent q few
leaves to the Ohio Experimental Sta
tion, at Wooster for examination, and
have received the following reply:
s'Obio Agricultural Station,
WOOSTER, o., Aug. q, 1902.
Mr.. j. O A. CAMPBELL,
THE REPUBLICAN,
Bellefontaine, o.
DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 10th is re.
ferred to me and the maple leaves
have been examined. A fungus is dis
covered in the dead areas which may
be the cause of the dying or may be sec
ondary-that is, attracting it when the
tree has become reduced in vigor. The
soft maple as street tree is shortlived
consequently it should not be planted
where permanency is desired in tree
Yours very truly,
A. ID SELBY,
(Dic. L Botanist
The fact that so many of these tree;
have died in our city, and the statement
made by MIR. Selby, that it is q short
lived tree, should be good reason why
they should never be put out on oul
streets Time and labor should not bs
wasted on a tree that dies almost a:
soon as it begins to furnish shade

NEWSPAPERS
MAY END STRIKE,

Some of the New York newspapers
are writing up the hard coal strike in
Pennsylvania In such vigorous style,
with illustrations and cartoon accom-
paniments, that Pierpont Morgan is
getting very much interested, the Gov

If anybody doubts the popularity OF
the President with the people, he has
only to read the daily reports Of his re-
ception in all parts of New England.
The people look upon him as the en-
bodiment of good sense, patriot
ism and true craftsmanship, and that
with it all, he is their own great big
boy. Metaphorieally, they slap him on
the back, and say, '.you bet we are
proud of you."
