The value Of aboriculture has been
known to scientists for centuries, but
it has not been scientifically practiced
in America until comparatively re-
cent date. The first legal "arbor day"
was established in Nebraska, through
the efforts of John Sterling Morton, in
1872, and within the next twenty years
four hundred millions of trees were
planted in Nebraska. Other states fol-
lowed Nebraska's example, but the
work of planting trees was generally
left to children and other inexperi-
enced persons with the disappointing
results that usually accompany such
methods: and as a consequence arbor
day in most states has fallen into unde-
served disrepute.

Why not look at the bright instead
of the dark side of affairs, Just as we
find it more agreeable to look for the
good rather than the bad characteris-
tics in man? The Washington Press
hits the nail on the head in recently
published editorial under the caption,
"Humbugs," in which it argues that
the great majority of the critics are
humbugs, pure and simple. The Press
says.
Look out for the critics, the growl-
