A short time ago Governor L. E.
Hall appointed George ]. Glover to be
a member of the Tensas Basin Levee
District board to fill vacancy. Tie
appointment was generally commend,
ed by the newspapers and the people
of the district affected who regard Mr..
Glover as especially fitted to combat
the impending food
Those opposed to the governor, how,
ever, have carefully refrained from
mention of the fact that Mr. Glover
was not a supporter Of the governor
in the campaign which resulted in his
election a year ago. Neither have they
made prominent comment upon the
fact that this is only one of a number
OF like appointments made by him.
Gov. Hall has gone farther in the line
OF making appointments upon merit
alone than any of his predecessors. In
filling the Offices at his command he
has proceeded upon the theory that

And indications Are Good
For Big Fruit Crop

The fruit bloom of all kinds has
been heavier in Ohio during the pres.
ent spring than 1t has been for many
years, according to N. e. Shaw, state
inspector of nurseries and orchards.
Apples, pears, peaches, plums and
cherries have tried to outdo each 9th.
er in the amount of blossoms put
forth. and as result the fruit-growing
sections present rare scenes of beauty
All parts Of the state seem to be
equally favored In the wealth Of
bloom.
Heavy bloom, however, is not al.
ways indicative Of bountiful fruit
crop, as injury frequently results at
the time Of blooming. or even later,
and what early appears to be fine

says Inspector Shaw.
For the present season the danger
from frost has practically been passed
and later injury is but little to be
feared. Some damage has already re.
suited to the fruit crop. particularly
from the freeze Of April 20. A large
percentage Of all kinds of fruit buds
was killed throughout the southern
and eastern sections of the state, prin.
cipally on lower ground, emphasizing
the value Of high elevation for protec.
ton from frost injury.
In northern Ohio, where the buds
were not SO far advanced, but little
injury has been done, although inspec.
tors report from 20 to so per cent of
peach buds killed outside of the lake
belt.
Along the lake, where the peach
acreage of the state is largest, the
trees are now in full bloom and

without taking into consideration
the June drop. due to lack of proper
pollenization, and few minor things
which usually cause the young fruit
to drop. a good average crop OF fruit
may be expected, regardless of what
injury has already resulted. The
bloom is SO heavy that regardless of
the large percentage which has been
killed. enough remains for a satisfac.

"T'he job now seems to be under
the control Of the orchardist and the
market supply will depend upon his
efforts and ability in combating the
many pests which will assail the crop
through the spring and summer
