100000 Trees Planted In State
5000 In Morgan County

Reforestation went on apace in
Ohio this spring. More than T.
100000 trees were planted, accord
ing to a report by F. w Dean, ex-
tension forester for the Ohio State
University. Not all of the trees
were planted by workers in the IA
soil erosion camps. Students in vo-
cational agriculture, members of
All forestry clubs, municipalities
and farmers did their share of the
planting. exhausting the available
supply of seedlings furnished by
the state forest nursery at Mariet-
ia. Workers in erosion camps plant
ed four million trees. A half mill
lion more were planted by workers
in conservation camps. Students of
vocational agriculture planted $780,
900, and All forestry members
10000. Four All club members
of Tuscarawas county planted 49,
600 seedlings, setting a record for
planting by county club group. In
Coshocton county 4-H'e planted
$4,000, in Portage county, IA
900, and in Trumbull, 900. For
ty thousand more trees were plant
ed this year than last.
A thousand trees are supplied free
to each forestry club member who
agrees to plant them on his home
farm More would have been plant
ed had not the supply of seedlings
become exhausted. Since 1925,
nearly 100000 trees have been
furnished All clubs for this pur-
year in the program.
Students in vocational agricul-
ture also set new record to be
their mark another year. Trees
are furnished vocational agriculture
students on same basis as to All
club members. Planting is super
vised by instructors in agriculture
in high schools.
Vocational students in Washing
ton county led all others by plant
ing 5000 trees. The class in agri-
culture at the Marietta high school
set out $4,000 seedlings under the
direction of H. B. Wander Poel. This
is an individual class record.
Students in Morgan county plant
ed $4,000 trees. In Coshocton
county they planted 24,500, in Ath-
ems $4,000, and in Morrow county

It's now history-the dedication
of Noble county's new court house.
1t brought together the biggest
crowd that the present generation
ever saw at Caldwell. The second
soldiers reunion back in the 70's
was recordbreaking crowd. Then
for many years political meetings
were measured by the Garfield
meeting. Many were disappointed in
not being able to see and hear what
was taking place on the so-called
platform. Down in 'front.'" which
in some places, means ali that it
implies, had little or no effect, on
the crowd that surged around the
slightly elevated esplanade on the
east side. The chairman made his
requests as plain and forceful as
the English language would stand
within the bounds of reasonable
ness, yet to no avail. Some will
criticize and say, "Well, if I had
of been there I'd done so and So"
but how unlucky CD They are
never there. What more could the

Who's Afraid2 Not Ohio

Evidence accumulates as anti
Roosevelt orators swing into action
in Ohio that the old formula used
to create fear psychology among
the voters is to be overworked in
the fall campaign. 1t was the chief
reliance of the Hoover spokesmen
in 1882. Painting pictures of over
whelming disaster that was to owe
take the nation if Mr.. Roosevelt
were elected, they succeeded in
soaring thousands of Ohioans. Now
that revival of business, re-employ-
ment of millions and restoration of
the financial structure have follow
ed the change in pilots and their
dire predictions have proved to be
wholly false, Republican spell bind
ers still cling to the worn-out trick,
Casting about for new devices TO
terrify the voters. they hit upon
such transparent misrepresentation
as these:
The Roosevelt program is social
istic and cOmmunistic. National
policies are based upon the fam
tastic theories Of brain trust. The
spending Of billions for recovery
and relief is heading the nation TO-
ward bankruptcy. With these and
similar myths they hope to create
such alarm that the voters will turn
TO reactionary candidates pledged
to apply brakes to the New Deal.
This strategy Of desperation has
worked before. but it is inconceiva-
bic that it will fool intelligent Ohio
Republicans and Democrats this
year. The vote of confidence this
state has given the president
throughout the Literary Digest poll,
the faith that is expressed by men
and women everywhere, plainly
warn the Old Dealers that Ohio will
answer their vicious propaganda
by sending pro-RooseYelt senator
and pro-RoOseyelt congressman to
Washington to uphold the hands OF
the president. And the evidence
also gives assurance that the state
will elect another Democratic gov
ernor TO continue the cordial CO.
operation that Ohio has given the
administration at Washington.
No thinking citizens of this state
are going to be afraid of the big
bad wolf that the G.. 0. p. bedtime

peared in last weeks Democrat It
gives us new clue to the Calvert
family. A few years ago our Sis
ter, Florence Dye, now the widow of
the late Judge Cassius Dye, was
trying to get some information per-
tanning to a Calvert family. At
that time she was assisting someone
in the west who was hunting UP
some Dye history, and we are now
thinking that this Calvert who liv-
ed in the vicinity of the Dickinson
mill, might have in some way been
connected with the Dye family. The
Dickinsons did not come here until
1850, and year later they began
the milling business. The Dye se,-
tlement here had been in existence
more than 40 years, and had grown
into a fourishing community, as
the old brick houses attested, and
water mills were along these
streams, and steam wooden mill
was doing a thriving business, so
we are much inclined to think that
there must have been a grist mill in
operation years before the Dickin-
sons came here. Calvert might
have been the man who built and
first operated the mill. We had never
heard of any Calverts in this com
munity as our sister had Us looking
through the old cemeteries in and
around Reinersville, and failing to
find any such name recorded on
tombstone, we had given up the
search.
The wheat fields, many of them
sparse, one sock holding all the
farmers money, including his
loose change; horses, none too
many, binders, few, so we have
been expecting to see somebody cut
ting wheat with a cradle. We un-
derstand however that some fields
have been cut that way.
