Garden Clubs In
County Join To
Improve Boxes

Rural Route patrons are being
asked to take a second look at
their mailboxes from June
through June 10, according to an
announcement by London Post
master G.. G. Schlechty. Schlechty
has asked that all boxes on the
rural routes be put into condi-
ton to meet the standards set by
the postal services.
Schlechty said the majority of
the boxes in the county are at
least satisfactory, but that tour
taken this week revealed that
many of the boxes are still not
marked with the names as sug-
gested by the Post Office Depart
ment.
In cooperation with postal au-
thorities, the Madison County
Federation of Garden Clubs is
sponsoring a drive to improve the
appearance of the boxes, and the
plots surrounding the box location.
The Garden Clubs have urged
all rural patrons to keep weeds
and deep grass cut from around
the boxes, and suggested that low
flowers be planted behind the box,
so as to improve the overall ap-
pearance, and make the box loca-
ton a place of beauty rather than
an eyesore.
The Post Office Department
looks at the situation from a
more practical viewpoint, accord
ing to Postmaster Schlechty. The
important point of view is that
the rural service helps thousands
of people, and the fact that mail
boxes are in proper condition
means better service all along the
route.
Schlechty pointed out that de-
laws at a single box where the
carrier must change his position,
or possibly be- delayed by rusty.

Ashmore Jersey Is
Given Distinctive
Tested Rating

A registered Jersey COW owned
by George O. Ashmore, Route 2
London, Ohio, has been rated q
Tested Dam by The American Jer-
sey Cattle Club. The distinction
was awarded Louis Belle Ida for
having three offspring with official
production records.
The cows progeny averaged
9,709 lbs. milk with 491 lbs. butter
fat on a twice-daily-milking, 305-
day mature equivalent basis. The
records were made under one of
the programs of official testing of
The American Jersey Cattle Club,
which has its national headquar-
ters located in Columbus, Ohio.
The Tested Dam rating aids Jer-
sey owners on the selection of SUI
perior breeding stock. The three
tested progeny required to qualify
a COW as a Tested Dam may be
either three tested daughters or
three tested sons, or any combina-
ton thereof totaling three.

Tree Problem Is
Explained; Tiny
Mite Is Blamed

Several people with maple trees
have been concerned about the red
ish or green golbular gals about
one tenth inch in diameter appear
ing extremely abundant on the up
per surface of the leaves of silver
maple trees, according to John E.
Moore, County Agricultural Exten-
sion Agent.
The bladder like gals may be
green or bright red, but as they
develop change to reddish-purple
and finally dry up and blacken
toward the end of the summer.
Ordinarily the malformation of
the leaf tissues causes no apparent
injury to the tree There is nothing
that can be done this season.
Spraying in early spring with
liquid e-sulfur while the tree is
dormant controls this mite, which
causes this damage, satisfactorily.
This damage is caused by tiny
mite, which hibernates in crevices
or wounds in the limbs or under
rough bark on the trunk of the
trees, is responsible for the gall.
As the buds swell in the early
spring, these alternating forms mi
CRATE to the new leaves and pune
ture the tender tissues. Calls form
at these points which serve as an
abode for the mites in which they
feed until they mature In cary fall
the mature mites return to their
winter quarters before the leaves
begin to drop from the trees.
No control measure is known
that can be employed after the
gals appear. Caution should be ta-
ken when spraying lime-sulfur in
early spring when the trees are
dormant since this spray will dis
color woodwork and stain bricks,
walks, etc.
