Enoch Carson's
Harvest Home

''In as much as it is incumbent on
all men to acknowledge with graft
tude the infinite obligation to Al
mighty God for benefits received"
droned the Reverend John Clark to
the little gathering of men and
women in buckskin and home-spun on
the close-cropped bear-grass in Enoch
Carson's beech woods.
1t was 143 years ago and Clark,
first Methodist preacher in Green
township, Hamilton County, began
his long-winded, rambling speech
with the lifted opening quotation
from Arthur st. Clair's 1790 Thanks
giving proclamation. 1t sounded well
and was an appropriate beginning.
1t was late harvest, 1906, and Car
sons beech grove now is in the heart
of Cheviot, 10000 populated municip-
ality completely surrounded by Gin
cinnati-steadfastly refusing to be
annexed to the larger city. The oc-
casion was the first Harvest Home

or two in wartime, annually up to
this day. The 143rd of the miniature
fairs is being held this September,
two days and nights.
Settled in 1906
1t is pretty story and true.
Enoch Carson was one of the eastern
ers impoverished by the postwar
depression which followed the Revo-
luton. Almost penniless, he came
by fat-boat to Cincinnati and with
his sons, cut and sold frcwood at
"a Bit load" until he got enough
money to buy little wilderness farm
in Green township. That was in
1905.
Twenty acres of mixed crops,
grown among girdled trees too bic
to fell and drag away,-a little plot
of corn, turnips, cabbages and pump
kins, planted broadcast among the
potatoes and tomatoes, all came up
Well anu Tie ildl NSst NdS q Dpunlllul
one
The big Carson family would not
go hungry during the coming winter
and they were thankful. The toma-
toes were planted there by Achsah,
Carson's wife, because they were
beautiful in the green. Love Apples"
the pioneers called them, believing
they were poisonous and not good to
eat.
Only a few families besides the
Carsons were yet in the township
perhaps a dozen.
So Enoch and Achsah Carson were
thankful. So were their brood of
eight smaller Carsons, including
Enoch Jr.. months, who cooed
contentedly. The neighboring settlers
had as good luck, though their clear
ings were not so large.
Thanksgiving Service
The Carsons passed the word
around asking the neighbors to gath
er in the beech woods for a day of
celebration and thanksgiving. And
the neighbors came. So began Green
townships nearly century and half
of Harvest Home Festivals.
There was community singing" of
the OLD English folk songs; much
laughter and chatter, and long before
sunset the big hampers and baskets
were emptied and the "vittels" spread
on bed sheets and table covers over
the stubby grass. 1t was bounteous
feast.
Everybody made stammering
speeches, the one by Preacher Clark
being the longest and most fowery
Clark had been in the woods only a
few months and had walked all the
way from Muddy creek to the Carson
clearing for the occasion.
Pioneer Dance
After the big spread, the covers
were taken up and there was dancing
under the trees far into the night, te
the strains of a cracked fiddle and 6
"big bass viol'-simulated by mar

stick and making the sounds with hi

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1949-09-22

They did come back. And SO, with
out organization whatever, the Green
Township Harvest Home Festivals
went on until 1854, when an attempt
at organization was made. The only
skips were two years during the
War of 1912.
Organize Society
October 1, 1854, the Green Town
ship Agricultural Society was organ
lied, The first society festival was a
picnic at Miamitown. on the Great
Miami River, May II, 1856. Every
body gathered at Bethel Church at 6
o'clock in the morning and went i'm
body to the picnic grounds,n' Annual
memberships we're sold at so cents
each and next year the festival was
resumed at the same Garson's beech
grove.
The annual Agricultural Society
Harvest Home celebrations went on
until the Green Township Harvest
Home Association was organized
seven years later to supercede it.
Memberships still cost 30 cents
apiece and there were so members
at that time.
The first Association festival was
held in 'Carson's Grove" Chevior,
Friday, August II, 1860. From the
original minute book, in beautiful
handwriting and faded lamp black
ink, closed for nearly 80 years, the
writer is copying:
"The Harvest Home Association or
Green Township celebrated their an
nual festival yesterday in Carson's
beautiful grove just north of Chevior.
The day was a magnificent one. the
cool weather of the past week being
just sufficiently tempered by the
ardors of the sun to be comfortable.
5000 Attend Festival
There must have been nearly
5000 people on the grounds. They
came on horseback; in wagons, bug
gies, rockaways, barouches, omnibus
es and a-foot, all drest in their Sun
days best and bent on pleasure,
though with a frugal mind, for the
full stores of homemade lunch CON
stituted the whole expense of the
entertainment" And there was much
more of the account.
First premiums for best exhibits
were from 81 down to % cents. And
farmers and farmers wives competed
in great number. William Lingo took
the so cents first prize for best ap-
pies and ]. Hildreth, first prize, also
60 cents, for best wheat. SaIlie
Hannaford got 30 cents first prize
for her sampler mat; and Elizabeth
Hannaford, so cents for her peach
preserves.
There were the usual dancing,
singing and many 'long and firing
enthusiastically by politicians"
And on through the Civil War until
today the association functioned. It's
festival this year was held September
IL and II at "Carson's grove-now
Harvest Home Park, Cheviot. The
City of Cheviot bought the four-acre
tract long ago and besides the yearly
festivals, a playground, athletic field
dancing pavilion and other PARK
features are there. 1t took $4,000
bond issue to do it.
Green township residents declare
with pride that many of the great
beeches still stand and the second
growth now are tall.

Yes We Have No Bananas

Most people will be surprised to
learn that bananas don't grow on
trees" the plant being a species
of the lily family; and that the fruit
is classed by botanists as a berry.
The banana plant is an annual, that
is, it completes its life cycle in
single growing season of from Il to
l8 months. Each plant produces
only one stem of bananas during its
lifetime.

 The walkout was voted by the AFL transit union which is seek ing a continuance of the company policy of 96 hours pay for two- week vacations. Under a proposed new formula the amount would be reduced, the strikers say.

Standardized Arms
 In Five Years

WASHINGTON, (P)-The U. $. Britain and Canada plan to build military equipment to a common interchangeable standard but 1t may be five years before the new standardized items come off the production lines.
 Governments of the three coun- tries announced the plan this week. The aim of the standardlza- ton plan, they said, is to make military weapons and supplies usable by the armed forces of all three nations.
 If artillery, for example, were standardized, shells made for the guns of any one of the three would fit the guns of the other two as well. The same would be true of aircraft parts.
 Member sof the staff of the sec retary of defense told reporters that the three countries will keep each other informed about all con- ventional types of weapons, com municationS equipment, transpor- tation, engineerig and quartermas- ter equipmet and medical supplies.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, (P)- Yugoslavia's army day celebattion yesterday was marked by charges that once-friendly Russia used to sell Premier Marshal Tito second hand arms and useless gunpowder at exorbitant prices.
 The charge was made by It. Gen. Otmar Kreacic, political chief of the Yugoslav army, in speech at a select celebration party at tended by Tito and his top-rank- ing colleagues.
 Despite this double dealing by the Russians even before the com inform split in 1948, Kreacic said, Yugoslavia built a modern army patterned after the Red army.

To Investigate Fate of Red-Held Jap Prisoners
(By Russell Brinesl

1Oh 1O, (HD-Generdl MdcAr- thur yesterday denounced "cal- lous" Soviet "hypocricy" and started a move for independent investigation of the fate of 376,000 missing Japanese war prisoners captured by the Russians.
 He said he had requested Wash ington the begin negotiations for an investigation either by a neu- tral nation or the International Red Cross.
 The America occupation con- mander issued one of his strongest attacks against the Soviets after a Russian walkout of the Allied Council for Japan Wednesday. This was followed by renewed Russian charges the United States was assisting the revival of Japan csc fascism.
 The Soviet mission was under determined siege by 200 Japanese representatives of anxious rela- tives of missing war prisoners. They were told the Soviet answer to requests for information on fur ther repatriation appeared in this mornings papers," Presumably this referred to a letter charging oppression" by the Japanese gov ernment which It. Gen. Derev- yanko. head of the Soviet mission, addressed to General MacArthur.
 Macarthur said the letter show ed "a callousness of hypocrisy I can not fail to denounce." He termed it a smokeScreen to dis tract attention from the repatria- ton issue.
 w. J. Sebald, head of the occu- patton diplomatic section, earlier had termed the letter ''unadulter-. ated twaddle."
 The Japanese crowd around the Soviet mission became clamor- ous at times. Once Russian guards pushed them back when they at- tempted to enter the compound.
 The delegation went to the en- bassy to keep what its leaders said was an appointment made last week with Soviet officials who promised answers to questions on repatriation. The Japanese said they represented the Tokyo chap ter of the Council for Acceleration abroad"
 Sebald told the council Wednes- of the Repatriation of Japanese day, after the Russian walkout, that probably 374,O41 of the miss ing Japanese prisoners had died in Soviet prison camps. He read lengthy account of the Russians treating prisoners brutally in "dis- regard for humanity"
