Recruit Students In every state In the Union there has been a day set aside and designated aa Arbor day, a day on which trees were to be planted and cared for. Yesterday, April 22, was Arbor day In Nebraska, the state of its origin. J. Sterling Morton, pioneer statesman Inaugurated a day to be devoted to the setting out of trees, and since his time school children all over the state have had a half day holiday each spring to set out trees in school yards or else where. Tho Arbor day falls on the 22nd of April in Nebraska, in states to the north and Canada it is ceie brated later in the spring, and in the southern states Arbor day comes in late winter or very early spring. Tree Specialists Give Information. Fortunately, love of trees and appreciation of the comfort and help they give in shade, protection and fuel is fairly genoraliy rear ized. There are many people in the state whose work is trees and who are willing and ready to fur nish information about them to all interested. One of these people is Earl G. Maxwell, extension forester at ag college. Thru his work at ag he has done much toward the plant ing and caring for trees. Maxwell's Experiments. Since 1939 Mr. Maxwell has planted 200 species on a trial plot of ground covering about two acres. Each tree is labled with its common and scientific name and is observed to see what trees are best suited to growing in Nebraska. The tree which most nearly typjfics Nebraska, Mr. Maxwell says, is the Cottonwood, which proved a great boon to the early settler of the state. Many south eastern Nebraska cottonwood groves are still in existence tho they were planted by pioneers who transplanted them as saplings from the banks of streams. Other trees much utilized at that time were the boxelder and ash. The Clark-McNary act, passed in 1924, provided for distribution of trees as windbreaks, shelter belts, and woodlots on farms, Since 1926 10 million trees have been distributed, at a nominal cost to farmers thru the agricultural college. This spring alone 85,000 have gone out from the college to farmers. Twelve different varieties have been given out including, yel low and Austin pines, cottonwood, Chinese elm, Russian olive, and Russian mulberry. Wanted: Jurymen (or women.)
