From Saturday's Dully In his proclamation designating. April 22 as Arbor day. Governor Mc-J iMullen makes some practical sug-; Sestions in regard to planting trees, the need of replanting trees that have died ,or been destroyed by storms or cut clown to make room' for crops. He advises the planting j of trees in draws, swails and low! places on farms not suitable for cul- j tivation. He says: . . The early settlers of Nebraska were lovers of trees. The first care i pf the prairie homesteader after! building a house for shelter, was to j nlow a firemiard around his claim, i , This answered the double purpose of j j protection against preirie fires and i to prepare a place for planting trees . i around his future home, very soon tno:e runioie dui iauiuui ineims, the Cottonwood rnd the box elder, began to mark the home of the sturdy first settlers. Later an iden gave a great impet us to 1ree planting. Arbor day, a day set apart and dedicated to plant ing more and better trees, resisted in converting the bare but fruitful soil into homes surrounded by the beauty and comfort of growing trees. Nebraska, the tree planting state, b?rame an example and an in spiration to other states and to other countries. Many trees have died, wind storms have taken their toll of destructions; and "groves have been cut down to make room for other crops or more immediate profit. So it is that many farius have fewer trees than they had a decade ago. These ravages should be made good by new planting. We need a revival of the spirit of tlie early settlers for more trees, new groves. There are on most farms, draws, pwnils and low places not suitable for general cultivation but entirely suitable for the growing of trees. Where there is drainage affording more moisture trees grow at double quick. These eyesores, when cov ered with trees become the beauty spots of the farm. I would call espe cial attention to this feature of tree growing and farm improvement and urge its earnest consideration. In a proclamation. President Cool i.'Vcre urges the observance of Ameri can Forest week in connection with Arbor day. This coincides so closely with Nebraska's program that Arbor day may well be extended to include American Foresl --week, 'April 27 to May 3. While Nebraska may never grow large forest areas, it will pro duce many groves of use and. beauty. Elm for shade. Jack Pine for wind breaks, black walnut for nuts and for lumber and locust for fence posts, which Nebraska uses many millions and all a harbor and home for birds. Many other varieties may be profit ably grown. Trees should be select ed with reference to local conditions which vary greatly in different parts of the state. In conformity with the law and in co-operation with the president,- I hereby designate Wednesday, the twenty-second day ofApril as Arbor day, and the week following as American Forest week and urge their observance in the interest of the present and future generations.
