The First Arbor Day.

What is now known almost throughout the civilized world as Arbor Day originated in the state of Nebraska. At an annu- al meeting of the state board of agriculture, held in the city of Lincoln January 1, 1872, Hon. J. Sterling Morton introduced q resolution for Sylvan Day." which was amended to read Ar Dor Day. The resolution called for Wednesday, April 10, as the first Arbor Day. The society requested the newspapers of the state to take up this matter of encouraging reeplanting. The society offered rewards, and the result was that more than one million trees were planted in the state that year.
 Since the establishment of Arbor Day nearly 36 years ago billions of trees have been plant ed in Nebraska alone. It's ob- servance has extended through out most of the states, and has reached France, Japan and other countries beyond the seas.
 There is no section where tree planting is needed more than right here about Yuma. In or der to encourage the spirit the writer offered a reward for tree planting by the pupils of the Yuma public schools. The sev- eral teachers have taken this up with their respective rooms and on our Arbor Day, Friday, February z, it is expected that more trees will be planted in and about Yuma than have ever been planted in the past. Parents should aid their children in this.
 Friday morning the school children will assemble in their respective rooms at the usual hour. when a brief programme will be carried out. The entire school will then march to the grounds of the new building, where there will be further ex- ercises-this to precede the tree planting by the board of trustees.
 All patrons and citizens are welcome to attend this exercise, and it is hoped that parents will become interested in real ob- servance of this coming Arbor Day.
 Respectfully,
 A. H. MCCLURE,
 Superintendent.

Senator Bailey of Texas was a staunch supporter of the Aldrich bill. Then he heard that he was being criticized in his state and immediately became sponsor for a bill providing for one thousand millions of greenbacks. Mir. Bailey is shrewd enough poli- tician to know that one of the surest ways to defeat a measure is to make it ridiculous. Unfor- tunately for his party there are many democrats who do not see through Bailey.

CRITICIZlNG NEWSPAPERS.

A dearth of local news often leads to murmurs on the part of those who prize local gossip above all else, and it is not all the fault of the publisher. Any live publisher will not fail to give all the local news worthy of note; therefore when the local department is short you should not rail at the editor. Remem- Der that you might have helped him out by committing suicide, getting married, quarrelling with your neighbor, stealing chickens, getting smashed up in a runaway or hundred other ways to fur nish a local item.
 IT newspaper should publish current street gossip, or the hints and alluSionS of the best society in the community it would be ostracized and the poor editor horse whipped or burned at the stake. Think a minute of the mean and low things you say about your townsmen and your  near neighbor, and then imagine how it would look in print. Do not criticize the newspapers for what they print, but give them great credit for what they don't print. A newspaper containing One-half the nonsense current among "the best citizens would be considered unfit to read. Hon. est, 1t would.

ARIZONA LANDS.

The annual report of the bu- reau of statistics, United States department of agriculture, issued December 10, 1907, shows that Arizona produced of corn, 300, 900 bushels, valued at S270, ,000; of wheat, 3s3, 1000 bushels, valued at S408,000; of oats, 116,000 bushels, valued at S270,000; of barley, 923,OOO bushels, valued at S72O,OOO; and 261, ,OOO tons of hay, valued at S3,654, 900, or a total valuation of S5, 122, 900 on 143,O00 acres, which is approxi- mately $37 per acre.
 No state or territory in the union can show production of such high average value per acre from the five crops enumerated as Arizona, and the beauty of it all is that such production can be maintained and increased for years and years.
 A careful estimate of other crops and fruits of Arizona would indicate an acreage of I7,0o0 acres. Oranges alone will reach valuation of S13O, ,O0O. Melons, fruits and gardens make up the balance, and easily reach valu- ton of S3;5O0, 1000, making a grand total of S8,752,O00 worth of farm products grown on 160,- 600 acres of land, making ap- proximately $50 per acre.
 Nearly nine millions from the soil when a few holes in the ground turned out more than seven times as much seems rath- CT insignificant; and yet from the "holes in the ground" yield ing the nine nine millions the same amount and more can be taken for generations, while the other "holes" give up their dol lars and are no more.
 Within the next three years 200, 900 acres will Le added to the farms of the territory by the completion of the Salt river val ley and the Yuma irrigation pro- jects, and in the space of, ten years it is quite likely that the total of farm lands will reach 700, ,000 acres. With @ climate especially adapted to the grow ing of fruits, vegetables and al falfa, the returns per acre should and und undoubtedly will be $100 per acre and the value of the mineral products in 1907 be sur passed by the value of the pro- ducts from the farm.

It is a pretty safe conclusion that the Aldrich bill will become a law before this session of con- gress adjourns, No one regards it as an ideal bill. Even Mir. Al drich himself admits that it is not. But it will obviate a recur- renee of the financial stringency from which the country recently suffered. It is the only legisla- tion of the kind that can be passed at this session, and it will in no way prevent more compre- hensive and desirable legislation later on.
