While st. Louis, by our direct line of railroads
is supplying such vast increase of that trade
to Baltimore for European shipment, as well as
home consumption, New Orleans also DOW has
a grain trade-one that will soon expand into
grand proportions. So says the Picayune of
the 18th ultimo and in proof of this averment

will be something like 100000 bushels. St.

"ARBoR DAY.'-The benefits of tree cul-
ture have been so often dwelt upon as tu need
no recapitulation at this time. Various plans
for encouraging the planting Of trees have been
from time to time advanced, but the most eff.
icacious, perhaps, is that adopted in Nebras ska.
The Legislature Of the State has, BY formal en-
actment, established a new holiday, taking
rank with Fourth of July and known as Ar
Dor Day." This day is devoted to the planting
of trees, and desirable premium is given By
the State Agricultural Society to the citizen
who plants the most trees on "ArbOr Day,
which occurs annually GU the 10th of April.
The inauguration of this new holiday was re.
ligiously opened throughout Nebraska on the
10th OF last April, and of the result the Omaha
Herald says that 10 ten counties alone more
than seven millions of trees we're planted. In
five years these trees will be worth, at least,
fifty cents each, and the State will then be
worth actually three and a half million dollars
more than it would have been without. Ar
Dor Day. This much we are sure of, and We
are confident if facts could be gathered, the in-
huencc of '.Arbor Day would be easily proven
to have enriched Nebraska by the first year Of
its celebration nearly FIVE millions Of dollars. "
