Arbor Day.


Prof. Newall Secretary Of the State
Board Of Education has issued circular
10 the School Examiners of the different
counties of the State directing them to
notify the public school teachers that the
ordinary school exercises will be omitted
on Arbor Day, the 10Th of April next
And that the pupils shall assemble at
their respective school houses at an ap
pointed hour for the purpose of carrying
cut the recommendations of the Cover.
nor with reference to planting trees
around the school houses and along tie
public roads. We are pleased to note
that the s,hool authorities are taking
hold of this movement in the spirit il
was intended, and that the young minds
will thereby early be trained in this use
full and important occupation. Tree
planting and tree culture ia of vast i'm
portance, and if properly and systema:i
eally entered into, will prove a great
benefit to the people of the State Not
only the children but as we have before
said the old and middle aged should re.
alize the importance of work of this
kind. Besides fruit and shade trees,
hickory. oak. chestnut, walnut. locust
aud cedar trees can be planted on lands
which now are comparatively worthless
aud in few y.ars will make those same
lands bring several hundred dollars per
acre. The principal thing is the start,
and there is no better time to start than
the 10th of April Only few trees
possibly, can be planted this year, but il
i've acres of useless land is laid off anu
planted with what trees Of the varieties
named above that can be secured, a be-
ginning will have been made, and once
made it will be kept going. Seed from
the chestnut. oak, hickory, and other
yarictics can be secured this fall, and il
planted then by the spriug OF 1890
nursery of valuable young timber trees
will be ready, which, if properly planted
cultivated, MANFRED and cared for, will
in the declining years of life be a source
of revenue to those who had the energy
and enterprise to plant on worthless /
lands valuable timber trees. Remember
