Addresses Message Urging Ar-
 Dor Day Celebrations
ACTUAL TREE PLANTING
Says That Country Without Trees Is Almost as Hopeless as People Without
 Children.

Washington, April 14.-President Roose- welt has addressed "To the School Child ren of the United States" a message on the significance of Arbor Day, which dur ing the month of April is celebrated in many of the states. The message is as follows:
 ITO the School Children of the United
 States.
 "Arbor Day, which means simply Tree Day, Is now observed in every state in the Union and mainly in the schools. At various times from January to December. but chiefly in this month of April, yuu give a day, or part of d day, to special exercises. and perhaps to actual tree planting in recognition of the lmpor- tance Of trees to us as a nation and of what they yield in ornament, comfort and useful products to tte communities in which you live
 Tt is well that you should celebrate your arbor day thoughtfully. for within your life time, the nations need Of trees will become serious. We of an older generation, can get along with what we have, though with growing hardship; but in your full manhood and womanhood you will want what nature once so bountiful- ly supplied and man so thoughtlessly de- stroyed and because of that you will not reproach us for what we used but for what we have wasted. For the nation, as for man or woman. and the boy, or girl, the road to success is the right use of what we have and the improvement of present opportunity. If you neglect to prepare yourselves now for the duties and responsibilities which will fall upon you later, if you do not learn the things which you will need to know when your sisi.,s 9agys IA ogcfs you will suffer tte consequences. So any nistion. which ifl it's youth lives only for the day, relps without sowing, and consumes without husbanding, must expect the penalty of the prodgal, whose labor could with difficulty find the bare means of lifc
 "A people without children would form a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as hopeless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew them- selves will soon vanish and with them all their benefits. A true forest is not mere ly a storehouse full of wood, but as it were, a factory of wood. and at the same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests, or 10 plant new ones, you are acting the part of good citizens. The value of forestry reserves. therefore, 10 be taught In the schools. which aim to make good citizens of you If your arbor day exercises help you to realize what benefits each one of you receives from the forest and how their benefits may continue they will serve good end

Strawberries Killed.

Cullman, April H.-(Special)-The heavy frost this morning has possibly damaged the farmers and truck gardeners in this section many thousands of dollars. The strawberry crop, which was just ma- turing and which promised to be one of the largest in this section. is ruined and the only hope now is for second crop that may develop in the early summer.
 The ripe and maturing betries on the plants are blackened, hard and will rot at once, while the blooms are killed. The plant may survive but is injured.
 It was estimated that the crop of straw berries this season would have been at least 10e cars.
 Peaches are also thought to be seri- pusly damaged, though it will take a few d to fully determine the extent Other crops of vegetables and fruits have suf- fered greatly.

Peaches Damaged.

Gadsden, April 1t-(Special)-A heavy white frost fell here last night and ice formed to the thickness of a fourth of an inch. Practically all tender vegetation above ground was killed and great dam age was done to the fruit crop.
 The young peaches in the lowlands were frozen, but the owners of the large moun- tain orchards claim that their crop was only slightly damaged.
 At the large orchards of the Elliott FI--it company. near this city, large log fires were kept burning throughout the night. and the frost was kept off in this way.
 Farm crops, such as oats, corn, wheat anL grasses, suffered greatly, owing to tho advanced stages it was in on account of the very warm weather in March. Gar den vegetables of every description were killed and will have to be replanted.
 The loss will run up into thousands of dollars in this part of the state. cold north wind has been blowing all day and another heavy frost is predicted for to- night.

Promising Strawberry Crop at CuNman is Almost a
 Total Loss
PEACH GROWERS MAY
 SUFFER GREAT LOSS
Blanket of Frost and Ice Over North Alabama Blights Vegetable and Fruit Crop to lnestimable
 Amount.

The farmers and gardeners of north Ala bama suffered to the extent of many thousands of dollars from the heavy frost of yesterday morning. Indeed, it is im- possible to estimate the loss in dollars and cents.
 Reports from all sections are very dis couraging, and tell of wholesale ravage by the frost king.
 While the damage to the peach crop Cannot be told for few days, it is cer- ( tain that thee growers, especially in the lowlands, hate lost very greatly.
 In some of the large orchards in Eto- wah county and other peach-growing sec tions. log fires were kept burning all Friday night, and it is believed that much fruit was saved in this way. Reports from some sections are to the effect that the fruit is frozen in lowland orchards.
 Probably one of the most pronounced calamities in the state is the almost total destruction of the strawberry crop in Cullman county. The season was fully open and shipments had just fairly be- gun with the promise of the largest and finest crop of berries ever produced in that section, estimated at 100 cars.
 It is reported that the crop is prac- tically a total loss. The maturing and ripened berry is frozen, and will rot while the flower and bud is said to be dead. The only hope remaining is for a possible small second crop early fin the suninci. The dais; : :, =. T II! vegetable crops at Cullman is said to be very great, and will swell the total~loss to the farmers of that section to an alarming figure.
 At Decatur the temperature was report cd yesterday morning at 27, with heavy frost, and slight freeze. It is said that grapes are killed, and much fear is ex- pressed for the peach and other fruit crops.
 At Huntsville the thermometer stood at 29 There was heavy frost and some ice. All vegetables, early strawberries and most of the fruit are reported killed.
 Centreville reports corn killed, which will have to be replanted.

Governor of Florida to Send Special
 Message to Legislature.

Tallahassee, Fla, April Ex-Governor Broward will tomorrow send a special message to the legislature on the subject of state life insurance, which he strongly advocates. He will treat the matter ex- haustively and will show that foreign in- surance companies have returned in losses paid less than s5.O00.0OO and have received upward of sl3,O0O.oOo in premiums during the past thirteen years. and that the south alone pays northern companies $50OO0,000 per annum. It will be suggested that the management be vested in com mission or a manager, which would elim- mate high salared officers, and that the entire expense would be less than the sal- ary of a vice president or d board chair man of one of the large companies now existing.
