Madison County
Unaffected By
Ruling On Bonds

Madison County is unaffected
by the Ohio Supreme Court ruling
on bond issues handed down
Thursday.
The state supreme court held
that bond issue had to be approx
ed by 65 per cent majority.
The ruling was given in a Gin.
cinnati case where the electorate
had given SO per cent vote on
a $2,450,000 bond issue intended
for parks and Fairgrounds.
Basis of the courts decision
denying a writ of mandamus to
force the city auditor to certify
an installment of the bonds, was
the fact that council initiated
the proceedings for the bond
issue Sept. z, 1949, six weeks
before effective date of a new
legislative enactment, reducing the
per cent required to SIS.
Millions of dollars in obligations
throughout Ohio supposedly zap
proved" last November must now
be resubmitted to voters at the
next general election, as the re-
suit of the courts unanimous de-
cision.
Included are Cleveland and
Cuyahoga proposals for $14, ,404,-
500.

Ashmore Herd Is
Leader In State

The George o. and Beverly Ash
more herd of Madison county led
all herds in Ohio for the month
of January, with an average Of 81
lbs. of butterfat, according to H.
E. Slagle, Secretary of the Ohio
Jersey Breeders Association. They
were also fifth in the Nation for
herds between five and fifteen
cows.
Although Mr.. Ashmore is EN-
ployed in London, and his daugh-
is a high school student, they have
taken a real interest in their Jer-
sey herd and their records have
been made under modest circum-
stances; in fact, drinking cups or
sileage or anything of that nature
are not available for their herd
and two-thirds of the herd were
home bred. All the animals have
been officially classified by the
American Jersey Cattle Club.
Beverly Ashmore is a juior at
London High School, and has been
a All Club member for six years
in Madison County. Four of the
cows in milk are result of her
All projects. She assumes practi-
cally full responsibility for the
care and feeding of her Jerseys.
She was elected out of 16 fortun-
ate Juniors members from Ohio,
to attend the 1949 All American
Jersey Show in Memphis, Tennes-
see.
Both George and Beverly are

Early Picking
Causes ScaId

Results of one seasons tests
at the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment Station on the development
of scald in the Rome Beauty apple
variety revealed that the greatest
cause was picking this variety too
early, Don Comm, horticulturist,
has reported.
He found no scald 20 days after
removal from storage into room
temperature when picked not less
than $50 days from full bloom.
Apples harvested 130 days from
full bloom scalded to the extert
of so percent in 10 days in a
warm room.
The Rome Beauty apple, con-
tinues Comm, is popular with the
grower as well as the retailer
and consumer. One of its weakne-
ses is its tendency to scald parti-
eularly after being out of storage
for several days. This means that
frequently it leaves the growers
hands in perfect condition and
later scalds or breaks down while
in the retail outlet.
All the apples in the tests were
stored under protection of air
purification equipment which aids
in reducing the incidence of scald.
This equipment utilizes activated
cocoanut shell carbon as an alb
sorber Of the vapors or volatiles
causing scald. Comm points out
that there was lack of scald on
green Romes when they were
harvested at the proper stage of
maturity.
The Gallia Beauty, a seeding.
and the Red Rome, bud sport.
are usually red-colored early in
the harvesting season and thus
require more care in determining
their picking date. They usually
develop intense over-color some
time ahead of regular Romes and
thus stand chance of being har-
vested in an immature condition
for long scald-free storage. They
will scald if picked too early even
though they are entirely red In
color.

PLAYGROUND Bull Ding VOTED IN
'46 SLATED FOR SPRING OF 81

Builders will be unable to be-
gin construction of the Madison
County Junior Fair building and
coliseum at the fairgrounds until
the Spring of 1851.
By the time sufficient amount
of the funds will have been col
lected to provide payment of the
construction costs on completion
of the project, it was indicated
Monday.
The new building, a proposed
$150,000 structure, is TO be pro-
vided under 5-year tax levy ap-
proved by Madison County voters
in November 1916 by vote of
2619 for and 2132 against.
Construction, however, was de-
layed until sufficient tax funds
had been collected to assure pay
ment. High cost of building mat
erials also contributed TO desir-
ability of delay in construction.
Previous to passage of the coun-
ty tax levy, proponents of the
measure cited numerous proposed
uses for the building the year
around. In addition to purposes
for which the building was to be
used during the annual Madison
County fair, it was pointed out
that it would be an ideal cite for
the county basket ball tourna-
ment; livestock sales and shows
and similar public functions.
The construction will be under
jurisdiction of the Madison coun-
ty Agriculture Society and county

Denies Shift Of
Bureaus S Stand
On Farm Plan

John w. Sims, executive Secrc-
tary, today denied reports that
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
has changed its stand on farm
program.
There is no foundation to the
recent radio and press statements
that we have shifted our position
on farm plans" Sims declared.
Naturally, we have been dis
turbed about the bitter controver-
sy which now is raging. We fear
that decisions might be made on
the basis of partisan politics, ia
ther than on the merits of the var
ious farm proposals" Sims point
ed out.
On March IS, the board of
trustees of the Ohio farm feder-
alton moved to take the issue of
farm program back to its $1,000
members. In SO doing, a list Of
principles on which farm plan
could be written was submitted
to the Ohio farmers for further
discussion and action.
Some observers saw in this
action as decided switch in pos
ition on the part of the Ohio
Farm Bureau. Sims stated that
this is not true.
The Ohio Farm Bureau, in its
simply felt that further
discussion on the merits of farm
was necessary at this
time. It's by studying all plans
and proposals, rather than by pit
ting one program against an
other, that constructive decisions
can be reached"
''Ife we do change our stand,
we will do so only after receiving
a mandate from our farmer men,
bership, indicating that such a
change should be made" he
added.
