ARROR DAY IN NEW MEXICO,

The second Friday in March is desig-
mated by law as arbor day in Ne" Mex
leo. The governor is authorized to issue
his proclamation calling attention to the
law and urging the people to join in the
observance OF this occasion, which, for
obvious reasons ought to be made a
specially important gala day in the states
and territories of the arid region. Truly,
if ever people were called upon to make
two blades of grass to grow where one
grew before, it is the people who inhabit
the arid country.
The law especially enjoins upon county
superntendents OF the public schools the
duty of having all school children observe
this day. Arbor day is made legal holt
day, and appropriate exercises should be
had in connection with systematic plan
whereby every child in attendance upon
the schools of New Mexico shall be re-
ouired to plant out at least one shade tree.
School officers should read up on this law

The Past Year Under Protection.

Taken altogether the past year stands
as the most striking in the history OF the
foreign trade of the United States. 1t is
really remarkable in how many different
ways the year is distinguished beyond all
other years and takes first rank.
The bureau OF statistics has this week
furnished the statement for December
and the twelve months, and by compar-
ing it with the statements for the years
preceding We discover a number of very
prominent characteristics. To cite only
the more important of these, we find:
First-That we exported more wheat
and flour than ever before in any period
of twelve months.
Second-That we also exported more
cotton than in any previous year.
Third-That our total merchandise ex-
ports have never been equalled.
Fourth-That our imports have like
wise been unexcelled.
Fifth-That the total trade Imports and
exports combined is far in excess of that
of any other year.
October was the first menth to break
the record, with exports of $102, 1877, 243.
This was followed in November by still
better results, namely, total of $780,
lO3,537, and now for December, as stated,
we have an aggregate but trife below
