Ted Brown Talks
On Election Laws

Under Ohio Law, candidates for
the office of member of Board OF
Education may file nominating pc
titions as a group. This privilege
is also available to candidates for
municipal offices in villages of un-
der 1000 population.
When using this form of petition,
each candidate must sign the
Statement of Candidacy" Then,
the signatures of all electors on
the petition are credited to each
candidate. For instance, if the min
imumnumber of signatures for the
office is 25 they need file only
twenty-five valid signatures no
their petition form, since each sig
nature accrues to the benefit OF
each candidate.
1t should be remembered, how
ever, that there cannot be any
more candidates for one particular
office on the petition than the num-
Der to be elected for that office.
This is SO since each elector sign
ing the petition pledges that he will
support and vote for the candi-
dates named in the petition. Hence,
he cannot nominate more persons
that that for which he is entitled
to vote.
These group petitions are
available at the County Boards of
Elections: Form 37-for County
Board of Education; Form 38-for
City, Local, or Exempted Village
Boards of Education; and, Form
29C-for Municipal office of viii

Thinning Can Pay
Garden Dividends

Invariably root crops like beets,
carrots, radishes and turnips are
sown too thickly. E. c. Wittmeyer,
extension horticulturist at Ohio
State University, says this probab-
ly is due to difficulty in sowing
small seeds thinly enough to elm
mate hand thinning. However, he
adds that thinning is a must"
when one is growing root crops as
crowding will cause small, mis-
Shapen roots.
The best time to thin, according
ing to Wittmeyer, is while plants
are small and when soil is moist so
that they can be pulled easily. Tur-
nips need three inches between
plants and should be thinned be-
fore their taproots become fleshy.
On the other hand ,radishes can be
left in the ground until those that
are thinned out are large enough
to eat unless they have been seed
ed very thickly. In this case thin
ming should be done early.
Surplus beet plants can be pull
ed when they are to 5 inches tall
and used for greens.
Carrots should be thinned early
and allowed to stand one inch a.
part. Later, alternate carrots can
be pulled and used. Swiss chard
should be thinned at first to 3 in
ches, and then as plants develop
and if they cannot be used immedi-
ately, remove alternate plants 50
that there will be 60 inches be-
tween plants.

In recent years, at least, visi-
