The Shelterbelt planting above is
in eastern Nebraska. Planting con
tains caragana, Austrian and Scotch
pine, Honey locust, and Chinese elm.
This planting is made for a shelter
for livestock than for height.
The seedlings were planted in
April, 1928. The wonderful growth
which the trees made is shown by
picture which was taken at the close
of the third growing season in Sep
tember, 1930. This picture illustrates
very well the method of planting dif
ferent varieties of trees in the shel
terbelt.

DAN HANSON WINS
HOUSE TRIBUTE BY
LINCOLN READING
Mr. llanson is a nephew of Mrs. J.
B. Mellor of this city; he is a mem
ber of the Wyoming legislature.
(Cheyenne, Wyo., Tribune-Leader)
Fitting observance was given by
the House of the 21st Wyoming leg
islature Thursday of the birthday
anniversary of Abraham Lincoln.
The program in memory of the
Civil War president was a one-man
service, but was exceedingly suffi
cient.
Selected by the representatives to
do honor to Lincoln because of his
striking similarity in stature a n d
manners to the great Emancipator,
Dan Hanson, of Hat Creek, youth
ful House member, held the crowded
chamber spelbound for 40 minutes.
With simple words, without ele
gant gesture, in a clear, low voice
that carried the speaker’s own sin
cerity to everyone within its range,
Hanson gave a brief reading from
Ida M. Tarbell’s “Life of Lincoln.”
W;hen Hanson finally finished there
was a brief, significant pause and
then the House members applauded
their most youthful contemporary
with more respectful enthusiasm
than had yet been displayed in the
lower chamber this session.
At the close of the day’s work, I.
W. Dinsmore, speaker protein, in be
half of the members of the House
presented Hanson with a book on
Lincoln. Dinsmore said, in making
the presentation, that the volume
was a token of appreciation for the
way in which the young representa
tive had aided the House in recalling
the noble memory of Lincoln.
When the House had finally ad
journed for the day, several older
House members went to Hanson and
shook the hand of the 24-year-old rep
resentative, the legislature’s young
solon.
