A National Arbor Day.

Ex Governor Seymour, of New York,
suggests that Decoration Day be cho-
sen for National Arbor Day. 1t is
too late in the season for successful
tree planting in most OF the States.
Nebraska, the first of the States to
adopt the custom, has for nine years
observed the second Wednesday in
April as Arbor Day. In OHIO the
third Thursday in April is Arbor Day,
and Minnesota whose climate is 80 cold
that ee-plauting can be done there
later than in most of the States, OBJ
serves the first Tuesday in May. The
National Association for Sanitary and
Rural Improvement, which has accom-
plished much in beautifying and in
creasing the health of the country,
adopted a resolution at its meeting at
Greenwood Lake last summer making
April 10th Arbor Day. But the Ma
tional Forestry Congress recommended
at its Meeting in Cincinnati in April,
1882, that the last Thursday in April
be made National Arbor Day. 1t is
evident that Congress should end the
confusion as to the day to be observed
by designating National Arbor Day.
1t will add much to the movement for
the restoration of our forests if such a
day can be established and observed in
all the States.
Perhaps the middle or last of April
is the most favorable time for tree plant
ing, although it is to be regretted that
Ex Gov. Seymour's suggestion as tc
Decoration Day seems impracticable
The last Thursday in April is probably
as good day for the greatest numbe,
of States as can be chosen. The i'm
portance of the establishment of Ma
tional Arbor Day can hardly be overes
timated. There were more than l2,
100000 trees planted in Nebraska OF
the first Arbor Day of that State, an,
| if prominent citizens in all the State
would each plant tree on the frs
National Arbor Day appointed by Cor
gress, the custom would be establishe
in favor among all the people. Cent?
ries of experience in Russia have laugh
that 22t per cent. of country must b
covered with forest if it is not poorl
wooded, and 374 per cent if it is richl
supplied with timber The Unite
States will soon fall below the lowe
limit unless earnest and united effort
: are made to restore the forests.
