Ohio Population
Near 8 Million

Ohio's nearly eight million
people (7,901, ,791 preliminary 1850
figures) lives in 88 counties. There
is a wide variation in county pop
ulations, reports the Ohio Devel-
opment and Publicity Commission,
but more uniformity in distribution
than in the other states of large
population.
Cuyahoga County, containing
Cleveland, is Ohio's "biggest"
county, with 1882, 116 inhabitants.
Cuyahoga has been first for so
years, having passed Hamilton
County in 1900, the census year
that first showed Cleveland ahead
of Cincinnati.
Vinton County, with 10,735
people, has the smallest county
population in Ohio. Vinton, cele-
brating its centennial this year,
had 9,253 inhabitants when it was
organized in 1850.
New York, the first state in
population, has one county with
less than 10000. California, Pen
nsylvania, and Illinois, the other
states ahead of Ohio, each have
several counties with fewer than
10000 inhabitants.
The most common size for Ohio
counties is in the group between
10000 and 10000. There are IS
counties in this class. Next largest
are the 1O,0OO-2O,OOO group and
the 30,OO0-40,00O group, each
with IL counties. Thus AZ Ohio
counties, more than half the
total, have less than 10000 in
habitants.
The 4O,0OO-5O,OOO population
range contains eight counties. The
5O,OOO-60,O00 class also contains
eight.
Only twelve Ohio counties have

Heavy Leaf Fall
May Mean Trees
Need Feeding

If leaves come tumbling down,
but heavy, in early September,
chances are your trees are signal
ing their energy is spent after a
hard Summer. Because stalwart
tree friends can store food like
a squirrel over the Winter, it's
a good idea to assume them grow
ing vigor next spring by treating
them to a Fall feeding.
In most instances, moderate
leaf fall now indicates nothing
more serious than approaching
Autumn, Urban l.. Throm, field
representative of the Davey Tree
Expert Co. advises. Some trees,
notably elms, naples, walnut and
sour gum, begin shedding their
Summer dress early. This is
especially true of the trees are
in areas where Summer rain
fail was sub-normal
If you're not quite sure about
the health of your trees, best
thing to do is feed them any
way. A special tree food, high in
nitrogen content, will do them a
lot of good. Fall feeding is now
an accepted practice and many
authorities believe it has some
advantages over Spring feeding.
In fact root growth into late
Fall is stimulated. The enlarged
root system gives a tree Bet
ter chance to absorb whatever
moisture is in the soil. Feeding

county's Traffic
Toll 50 Injured
And 8 Fatalities

The State Highway Depart
ments Traffic & Safety Division
has just released its semi-annual
report on traffic accidents in
Ohio for the first six months of
1850. Statistics usually make for
dry reading but their applica-
ton to our every day lives often
brings to light facts which con-
Germ everyone.
Octave Ammon, Deputy Direct
or of Division Six, points out
some pertinent figures which ap-
pear in this report. First, traffic
deaths on state highways out
side cities and towns for the first
half of 1850 amounted to 367-
practically the same as last year.
Second, persons injured in traffic
accidents numbered 7191-an in
crease of 1870 over the same per-
iod in 1949. The accident total of
all kinds from Jan. / through
June 80, 1850 reached the stag
gering figure of 10,624-a jump
of 1870 over 1949-and if the pres
ent trend continues it may reach
$4,000 ast'compared to 10000 last
year.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. AM
mon that Division Six, consisting
of eight counties, namely Mad
ison, Franklin, Pickaway, Fayette,
Marion, Morrow, Delaware and
Union has had SAB injuries with
35 fatalities up to June 80 of this
year which were dut to traffic
accidents on state highways out
side municipalities as compared to
488 injuries and 81 deaths in a
similar period of the preceding
year.
Madison County has had 38 in
jury accidents and (3) three
deaths at the halfway mark as
compared with 80 injury accidents
ana t4) 1Our 1atdlltleS during the
first six months of 1949.
.Analyzinz these figures, their
significance becomes glaringly ap-
parent and serves tor emphasize
the fact that all of us-pedestrian
and motorists alike-must obey
the. rules and regulations set up
by the State Highway Department
and the Highway Patrol to as
sure safe travel on the highways
as we'll as exercising common
sense, courtesy and consideration
Of the other fellow if the unneces-
sary loss of life and property due
to highway accidents is reduced.

4-H LEADERSHIP
Program Gains

Rapid increase in participation
in the National All Leadership
program since 1948 was announc-
ed by G. L. Noble, director, Ma
tional Committee on Boys and
Girls Club Work, in a Chicago
interview.
Noble pointed out that 97,119
members were enrolled in the
program last year, as compared
with 1916 in 1948, an increase
of more than 80 percent. Forty
five states accepted the program
in 1948, while AZ including Ohio
did SO this year.
Awards comprise a gold medal
of honor to the outstanding boy
and girl in each participating
county, and gold-filled wrist
watch to the boy and girl State
champions. Educational trips to
the Cricago National 4-H Club
Congress next November will be
awarded to eight sectional winners
-four boys and four girls-se-
lected from the State champions,
On the national level, $500 col
lege scholarships will be given to
the high ranking boy and girl,
and $3.50 college scholarships to
the second high boy and girl. All
these awards are provided by Ed
ward Foss Wilson, Chicago meat
packing company president.
In addition, the two top nation
al winners - boy and girl - will
each receive a. silver plated tray
for permanent possession, donated
by the Horace Moses Foundation,
of West Springfield, Massachus-
ettS. A
Last years state winners in
Ohio were Arthur Neuenschwand-
er, of Columbus Grove, and Edna
Robinson, of Millersport. Sixty
seven blue award winners received
county medals.
The program is directed by the
Cooperative Extension Service.
County Extension agents will fur
nish full information.

Ohioans Want
More Emphasis
On vocafions

Ohio's citizens want more en-
phasis placed on the teaching OF
vocational education In the pub
lie schools but in many cases VIII
have to enlarge their school dis-
tricts in order to get It, the ONO
Citizens Commission for the Pub
lie Schools has reported.
In a statewide survey or cltlzen
and educator opinion conducted by
the Commission, one-third OF the
citizens listed vocational educa-
ton as a current school problem
of primary interest to them.
DR.. Arthur j. Klein, executive
secretary of the non-partlsan
state citizens group, is of the
opinion that citizens lack infor-
nation as to why vocational edu-
cation programs have not been
improved in many school districts.
only seven per cent OF the
school administrators participa-
ting in the survey listed vocation
al education as problem of great
concern probably because, in most
cases, they are aware that their
schools cannot meet federal and
state requirements for the estab-
lishment of vocational depart
ments," DR.. Klein said.
This situation is closely re-
lated to problems of school dis
trict reorganization. Many school
men know that reorganization OF
existing small school districts in
to districts with larger pupil en-
rollments and wider tax bases will
be necessary if the standards for
vocational departments are to be
met by their schools. Twice as
many school administrative Of
ficers expressed concern about
district reorganization as did
laymen."
The survey showed that rural
SltACIio Wdill NOIdliOIidi d6Ii1ui-
ture courses adopted more than
any other vocational subject, and
DR.. Klein pointed out that "the
need for school district reorgan-
iZatiOn in order to meet the con-
ditions for setting up such de-
partments is greatest in these
neighborhoods."
"At the same time," he said,
the opposition to such reorgan-
ization of districts is strongest in
rural communities because their
small local high schools are re-
garded as community centers for
social and athletic events"
DR.. Klein said that the Com
mission, organized to study pub
lie school problems and to as
sist local citizen organizations in
developing school improvement
problems.
He said that the commission
also is conducting survey of
present and future public-school
enrollments for each of Ohios
90 counties in order to assist To-
cal citizens in making long range
plans for school housing and fl
nancing.

Mr.. Throm says feeding now

weeks beyond the time of the
usual signs of dormacy. It gives
your trees reservoirs of strength
that will help them through the
hard Winter and be evident next
