American Revolution, named their
settlement Marietta, In honor of
Queen Marie Antoinette of France.
That was in 1786, during the stir­
ring years of expansion und growth
following the birth of the new repub­
lic. It was a group of New Eng­
landers, led by Manusseh Cutler and
Gen. Rufus Putnam, thut founded
the frontier town at the confluence
of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers.
The story of Ohio might be told

Ohio, from the Indian, mean*
“ Beautiful R iver," but the names
of Ohio’s sons are known around

about half of the nation’s pottery.
Ohio ranks first in the production
of tires and tubes, machine tools,
stoves, ranges, furnaces, electrical
appliances, printing and publishing
of periodicals, soap, matches, pot­
tery and porcelain ware, pumps and
pumping equipment, coffins and
steam shovels.
The state ranks second in the pro­
duction of motor vehicles, bodies
made from ocean to ocean by Eng­
lish kings to various colonies along
the Atlantic seaboard.
After the settlement of Marietta,
a considerable migration from V ir­
ginia was directed to the southern
part of Ohio. A great impetus was
given to settlement when Gen. An­
thony Wayne defeated the Indians
of the Northwest In the Battle of
Fallen Timbers near the Maumee
river.
By an act of congress of A pril
30. 1802, the territory was author­
ized to draft a constitution; and on
February 19, 1803. Ohio was de­
clared a state.
Edward Tiffin was elected the
first governor. Chillicothe became
the first capital and Lancaster,

Even back in prehistoric days,
men must have found Ohio a good
land in which to live. The Mound
Builders, whose origin is as mys­
terious as their destiny, devoted an
estimated 100,000 man-years of la­
bor to the building of 10,000 mounds
and earthworks. These village slteä,
fortifications and burial places re­
main in Ohio as the record of these
ancient people.

OHIO’S M EM O R IA L MARKERS
Landmarks of Ohio's early days
have been carefully preserved or

with all its romantic characters is
recalled in the state’s 46 memorial

Little Big Horn in 1876, is at New

Humidity for Storage
Apples Is Important
The successful storage of apples
depends on the ability of the indi­
vidual to read the danger signs.
When apples show signs of wilting
or shriveling, it is an indication that
the surrounding atmosphere or hu­
midity is low, according to Purdue
university. The dry air is absorbing
the moisture from the produce, thus
the apple shrinks.
Sprouting and rotting results from
warm and moist temperatures and
lack of proper ventilation. Contain­
ers should be open and kept off the
floor and away from the wall. Ap­
ples should be stored at 34 to 38
degrees and 75 to 80 per cent hu­
midity. Ventilation, sound produce,
proper temperature and humidity
are essential.

And nitrogen deficiency was also
to blame for the “ firin g " or drying
up of the lower leaves of corn in
many other midwestern fields, Dr.
Pierre asserted.
"Nitrogen is the plant food ele­
ment that gives crops their normal,
dark-green color and their fresh ap­
pearance," he declared. "Without
enough nitrogen, plants become pale
green and spindly. In corn when
nitrogen hunger develops about m id­
summer, the older or lower leave*
of the plant turn yellow near the
m idrib and may gradually die.
"Farmers sometimes mistake ni­
trogen-hunger sighs in corn for
drouth injury. Where small grains
and grasses are concerned, a lack
of nitrogen not only results In pale-
green color but later m aturity and
lower yields.
"One of the other serious effects
of nitrogen deficiency is a low pro­
tein content in crops, for proteins
cannot be formed without nitrogen
This has an adverse effect in meat
and dairy cattle raising, for low pro­
tein crops have a low feeding
value."
Dr. Pierre pointed out that there
are three ways in which nitrogen can
be added to the soils so that crop
needs can be met. One is through
the growth of legumes, another is
through the use of manures and crop
residues and the third is through the
use of fertilizers containing nitro­
