Logan Elm Scene
OF Celebration

Ohio's most famous tree the
Logan Elm will be the scene of
the 42nd annual celebration of
the Ohio History Day Association.
The program, by the Saltcreek
Township Rural School, will be
held Sunday, October 3rd at 2
Pm. at Logan Elm Park.
Mr.. George D. cDowell,
Superintendent, Pickaway County
Schools, will give the address,
Logan'S speech will be delivered
by Carol Ann Spangler, and the
Adelphi band and the High School
Group will furnish music.
According to tradition it was
under this ancient tree that Chief
Logan of the Mingo tribe made
the speech which is regarded as
a masterpiece.
In his 1876 word talk, Chief Lo-
gan bitterly criticized the Whites
for their actions against the In
dianS.
It was near the Logan Elm that
the Lord Dunmore Treaty was
signed in October 1774. 1t was
this treaty which brought tenn
porary peace between the Whites
and the Indians.
Logan Elm Park is administer
ed by the Ohio Historical Society,
located about 7 miles south of
Circleville and about / mile off
r. %. Parking and picnic facili-
ties are available.

possible thievery with adequate fencing. The fencing will
be necessary to keep livestock from damaging trees.
Many people have land that is too steep or rough for
cropping, but that can easily grow trees. You can make good
use Of such land by putting the fruit trees there. However,
if such land is also used for pasture, the trees and their fruit
should be protected from livestock. Animals will eat fruit
from trees, or eat and trample fruit on the ground-Also, H
cattle eat green mangoes they may choke when the seeds be-
come lodged in the throat,
The stronger fruit trees, such as mangoes, serve well as
a ~windbreak. Weaker plants such as bananas, avocadoes,
and papayas should be protected from the wind. These weak
er trees might best be planted on the lee side Of the house,

different conditions.
The vegetable garden should be planted on flat or gent
" shopping land. IF the area does slope, the rows run across
the slope. This will slow the rain in its path down the slope,
and cause more of it to soak into the soil.
The plants in the garden should be arranged SO that the
sun is not blocked by tall plants, such as sweet corn. This
the garden, in rows running east and west. However, if that
would make the rows run down the slope, don't do it. The
erosion that might result would be worse than a little shad-
ING. The garden should be located away from trees or shrubs
that have long, strong roots that might rob the garden OF nu-
trients or water, or that might reduce light by blocking the
sun. On the other hand,lthere should be a Windbreak to re-
duce the possibility of wind damage. The Wlndbreak can be
a hedge, trees, an old wal, house, or a nearby hill.
Perennial crops those that remain in the garden more
than one weary should be planted off to one side Of the garden.
Examples Of such crops are okra, pigeon peas, and peppers.
If they are kept away from the other crops, they will not in
terfere with preparing the garden in the future, and will not
be damaged in the process.
A good place for fruit trees is along the north side Of the
garden, north of the sweet corn. In this way they will not
shade the garden from the sun. This is important because
rain falling on the vegetable plants should dry off rapidly.
This helps to keep down leaf and fruit diseases. Il the gar
den IS south Of the house. the fruit trees can be set on q line
shaded by the trees and is cooler and more comfortable. Ad-
ditional fruit trees can be located east and west Of the house
to increase the shading Of the house. You should remember
to plant the trees close enough to provide shade, but far
enough to keep the roots from damaging the c1stern or toun-
dalton, and avoid collecting leaves in the spouting.
Another good location for fruit trees is along a drive
way. Still another location is along the boundary lines OF
the property. 1t would be wise to anticipate and prepare for

"Ths Seminole indians, separat-

Florida and had already given
Gen. Andrew Jackson an excuse
for a brief military adventure in
1817-the so-called First Seminole
War-resulting in moving the tribes

Florida from Spain in 1921. One of
the first results was the establish

mouth of the Hillsborough River.
Here was the nucleus of the future
city of Tampa, and here the first
white child Of the area, John Mer-
Ger Brooke, was born in 1926, son
of Col. George Mercer Brooke, the
fort commander. John Brooke grew
up to become chief of the bureau
of ordnance of Confederate Navy

Merrimac into the worlds first

Being located entirely on a gov

community of Tampa offered little
lure to developers for quarter of

contact with the outside world.

Augustus Steele, a Connecticut
Yankee, who had wrangled an ap-

Two years later he was credited
with inducing the state legislature
to create, on January Is. 1884, the
