CENTURY TREES.
How Children Are Helping the For.
est Movement in the Prairie
Regions.

tNSbiShos
The prairie town without trees In
cheerless and umattraotive. Few
things add more to the attractive
ness of town than rows of thrifty
shade trees planted along its streets.
Village and town Improvement 80
cieties and civic associations have
done much to promote tree planting,
especially In the prairie regions of
the middle west Where trees adapt
I'd to local conditions have been
planted, and where the citizens have
cared for them and taken AN inter-
est in them, the results have been
remarkable.
A public spirited man residing in
city in Missouri has been doing
commendable work along this line,
In connection with the Civic Improve
memt League of his city In the year
1901 he painted a large quantity Of
seeds of various trees In nursery
rows. lie carefully tended the young
seedlings, and, few years later, dug
them up, labeled them, and turned
them over to the school children free,
upon condition that they should be
planted and cared for.
Since the trees started life with
the beginning of the present century,
they we're called century trees" and
this gave them additional interest.
Each child was given printed di-
roctions, which were headed as fol-
lows:
Ornament your MONIES Plant
Century Trees, seedlings of 1901
They are living monuments; watch
them develop-They began with the
century, and the century, as II ad-
vances, marks the record of their
age year by year
These who received trees were di-
rected to dig holes two feet in dia-
, meter and one and one-half feet deep
| They we're told to Keep the roots OF
| the trees moist and covered until
| planted, to see that all torn ends OF
| roots were cut off smoothly, and Il
cut back the side branches about q
quarter or third of their length, or
out branches, to cut back the tip 0
Jew inches. This pruning wac &c
| balance the loss of roots in digging
up the trees.
In planting the tree, they were told
| to spread the roots out into natura
position, and to set the tree about
| an inch deeper in the ground than Il
| stood In the nursery; to use gooC
| rich soil, but to allow no fertilizer Ul
mulch to come into direct contac
with the roots; to work the soil care
I fully about the roots, and to waite
the tree plentifully every few days
after 1t was set out, and during tht
dry weather OF summer.
Five or six thousand trees wer,
given away In this manner Two O
three trees were given to each chilt
who asked for them, and almos
every child did 50. There were
many species, and naturally som,
died, but few children lost all tina
they planted. Each child who receiv
ed trees was required to fill out
slip giving his name and address, an
the place where the tree was plant
cd. The trees in public places vii
be labeled when l.-~y L-,s cow
somewhat larger.
The town is now dotted with thes
little century trees" which hav,
become the pride of those who plant
ed them.
