Arbor Day is of peculiar signfi-
canoe to this comparatively treeless
country. In wooded countries, where
there is much natural timber, the
principal object of such a day as
Arbor Day should be to encourage re-
forestation and the replanting of
denuded areas. In such as this, Ar
Dor Day should encourage the first
planting of trees. It should be OBJ
served in some way, however small,
by every patriotic and thoughtful
citizen OF the state. Whether the
citizen plants a tree himself or
whether he joins in some general
movement to encourage the general
planting of trees, he should lend a
hand toward fitting observance of
the day. It is called to mind that
sections of Iowa and Nebraska were
once comparatively treeless. With
the planting of trees came a change
In general conditions. Trees do not
increase the annual railfall, but they
enable the agriculturalist to conserve
moisture; they prevent the devastat-
ing effects of hot winds; they keep
