Doubted Land Could
Sustain Population
Settlers Urged to Plant
Trees
By DR. JAMES C. OLSON
Supt., State Hist. Society
Arbor day has particular sig
nificance for ail Nebraskans, be
cause arbor day, perhaps more
than any other single occasion,
symbolizes the spirit of pioneer
Nebraska.
When the first settlers entered
this area west of the Missouri,
they were moving into a land
vastly different from that known
by earlier generations of Amer
ican pioneers. Where the earlier
areas of pioneering had been hea
vily forested, this land was tree
less, or virtually so. There was
considerable doubt that it would
ever sustain an agricultural pop
ulation. Indeed, official opinion
held that it very definitely would
not, and for a generation Nebras
ka had simply been part of the
“great American desert.”
The early pioneer farmers soon
proved that a land where tall
grasses grew in great profusion
would produce crops in almost
equal profusion.
Moreover, the land lay ready
for the plow — no laborious
clearing was required here be
fore farming could begin.
This much was good but trees
were sorely missed by those pio
neer Nebraskans who had come
from the wooded regions of the
East and almost from the begin
ning Nebraska’s agricultural lead
ers worked energetically to en
courage the planting of trees on
Nebraska’s farmsteads and in her
villages.
No one worked more energetic
ally than the author of arbor day
himself. One of the first improve
ments on the claim near Nebraska
City that was to develop into Ar
bor lodge was the planting of
trees. In addition to planting trees
on his own place J. Sterling Mor
ton worked tirelessly to encourage
others to follow his example.
The columns of the Nebraska
City News which he edited were
filled with advice and encourage
ment. In 1865 he wrote that the
groves and orchards of Otoe coun
ty conclusively demonstrated, “the
fact that sufficient timber can be
grown upon a quarter section of
prairieland in the course of six
years, to furnish the dweller
thereupon a bountiful supply of
firewood, and yet leave him 120
i acres of prairie to cultivate.”
The Nebraska State Horticul
tural society, organized in 1869,
reflected the growing interest in
fruit trees among the pioneer
farmers. The society’s meetings
provided an opportunity for the
fruit growers of the state to get
together to share experiences
and exchange views.
This was important because
practical experience was their
only reliable guide. They had lit
tle scientific information.
Hence, when arbor day was es
tablished in 1872, Nebraskans had
been working for almost two dec
ades to improve tree culture in the
territory and state, and arbor day,
in the beginning, was simply one
of a number of efforts to encour
age the planting of trees in Ne
braska. So expressive was it of
the hopes of the pioneers, how
ever, that it soon became a legal
holiday, and spread far beyond the
borders of Nebraska.
As its founder was fond of say
ing: “Other holidays repose upon
the past; arbor day proposes for
the future.”

Holt Fair Is
$500 Richer
The Holt county fair at Cham
bers was $500 richer this week,
when Ak-Sar-Ben mailed a check
for that amount to be used for
fair grounds improvement.
President Lloyd deed and Sec
retary Edwin A. Wink of the Holt
County Agricultural society said
the Ak-Sar-Ben grant and the
county’s matching fund will be
used for a 4-H exhibit building.
Granting of $500 to each of
Nebraska’s county fairs is being
continued for the second consecu
tive year by Ak-Sar-Ben, Omaha
civic organization. This is the
latest of a series of projects of
financial assistance to county
fairs, and resulted last year in
statewide improvements valued
at nearly a quarter of a -lillion
dollars, according to J. L. Thur
mond, a governor of Ak-Sar-Ben
and chairman of its public affairs
committee. The grants are made
possible by funds from Ak-Sar
Ben annual race meeting.
The popular county fair im
provement program follows the
“dollar-matching” principal, in
that Ak-Sar-Ben agrees to put
up $500, provided the people of
each county also raise at least
an equal amount.
In 1954, most of the 71 counties
that took advantage of the grants
raised far more than $500, result
ing in greatly increased facilities.
Many new buildings were con
structed, including livestock ex
hibit buildings, 4-H activities
buildings, dining rooms and
kitchens, grandstands, stages and
many other needed facilities.
In addition to the $50,000 Ak
Sar-Ben sets aside each year for
the new improvement program, it
makes available approximately
$75,000 a year for county fair
premiums, part through the state
racing commission and part paid
directly to exhibitors by Ak-Sar
Ben. According to Mr. Thurmond,
Ak-Sar-Ben plans to continue
these projects as long as the
money is available for it.
