BRACING TREES

Heavy crops of fruit are liable to
break down and ruin the trees and
may therefore, in spite of their desir-
ability, be a distinct menace to the flu
ture of the home orchard. Certain
species. particularly plun1s and peaches.
are most susceptible to breaking. Part
of the trouble lies in the original train
ing of the young tree or rather the lack
of training. Too often the main limbs
all arise at one point on the trunk or
two main limbs of equal size form a
narrow, weak union. However as this
may be, much injury may be prevented
by taking the simple precautions of sup
porting the limbs before the fruits be-
gin their final enlargement. Pieces Of
board serve the purpose very well, espe-
cially if V cut is made at the upper
end. Permanent trees. such as the APP
pie. may be braced with rods and wire,

measure in decreasing the breaking

SIS Counties Against Bond Issue


T h proposed constitutional
amendment authorizing issuance Of
seven and one half million dollars
of bond, the sale of which was to
have provided additional funds for
the state welfare department., was
defeated on November 3rd, by S5 OF
the SS counties in Ohio. Only three
counties, Erie, Hamilton and Ma
honing gave majority of their
votes to the issue. The unofficial
reports for the S,744 precincts in
Ohio, gave 491.784 votes for the is
sue, and 760,345 votes against the
issue. Few of the local bond and
tax measures secured passage. In
several municipalities the schools
will operate on reduced schedules;
and in at least one city, schools will
not open until after January /
1882, unless some new way of rails
ing school funds is available.
During the past two years the de
partment of public welfare has ex-
pended and contracted for new IA
cilities the sum of $4,8OO,000, all
out Of monies appropriated by the
general assembly. Had the bond
issue of $7,500,000 carried at the
late election it would have per
mitted continuation of the states
limited program for the care of its
wards, and would have provided
funds which heretofore have been
appropriated and paid out of reg
ular state operating revenue. In
the last two years the twenty-five
state institutions under direction of
the welfare department, have had
an increase of 4,750 patients.

Cantaloupe growers met yester-
