School Children Petition Pres.
ervation of California

10 Uncle Sam is n which has Just
been received here by the Forest
Service from nearly 400 Cali.
fornia school children who ask for
the establishment Of a Redwood
National Park. This petition,
which is from the children Of the
schools Of Eureka, Humboldt
county, California, i S unlike any
other which has ever been sent 10
a government department TO ask
for the preservation Of forests. In
the petition the children say:
We, the children OF Eureka
Schools have been studying about
our redwood forests, and along
with the rest Of the people OF our
country We feel that representa-
tive groves Of these trees should
be preserved for ourselves and
coming generations OF children;
and We respectfully petition the
United States government to take
some action toward establishing a
National Forest Of redwoods."
Government foresters who are
acquainted with this section Of
California say that the children
give good reasons for the establish
ment of the National park. 1t has
only been a few years since the
redwood trees stood thick on the
land around the larger towns Of
Humbolt county, but now all the
accessible timber has been re-
moved and the people see the time
when the redwood groves will
have disappeared.
There is little if any, redwood
left suitable for a National park
that has not fallen into private
hands. The acquisition of any
such areas therefore would have
to be brought about through pur-
chase or through public donation.
If it is found necessary to pur-
chase the land congressional action
will be required.
1t is not often that private do
nations Of valuable timberlands
are made, but a notable example
OF such generosity and public
spirit was recently shown by VIM.
Kent, OF Chicago, Illinois, and
kentheld California, who pre-
sented a tract OF 295 acres Of mag
nihcent sequoias in Redwood Can
yon nea San Francisco, to the
government. In Monterey and
Trinity National Forests at Cali
f~ornia, there are a few small tracts
Of redwood.
The children do not specify any
particular grove OF trees which
they would like created a National
park. 1t will therefore be ncces-
sary for the people OF Humbolt
county TO locate a suitable grove
OF redwood to be made a National
park, make arrangements for the
purchase OF the tract and then
request congress to take up the
matter. The Forest Service will
be able to do nothing more than to
supply all possible information
and assistance. The Chief In
spector at San Francisco will be
requested to look into the matter
and assist those interested in the
movement in every wav.

In transferring tomato plants
from the cold frame or kitchen
window to their permanent place
in the garden, plant a stock Of
head lettuce in the center of the
space between the plants. The
young tomato plants will furnish
shade for the lettuce, and by the
time the tomatoes occupy the space,
you should have a stock of tender
lettuce as large as a head OF cab
bage, for your trouble.

during the last five years, the neces-

If the children of school age have
not been ayailing themselves Of the
benefits Of the public schools; it was
equally as apparent to the board
that a strict enforcement Of the law
compelling the attendance of such
delinquents would be impracticable
for the lack of necessary buildings
equipments and facilities to take
care OF them.
The result Of the last school cen
sus, taken by superintendent Glen

about 1000 children of school age in
the district not in schools of any

The law is imperative that the

it is the duty Of the board to see that
all such children attend the school
