PLANT A SEED.
The Story OF the Man Who Planted
Many Apple Seed-Exampsc OF
Spain-Virginia's Early IDEA of Con-
A,ryatiCn.
washington PoSt.)

washington Post.)
In the early part Of the nineteenth
century there was a man who was
| known from the Hudson to the Ohio
as Apple Seed John" because
wherever he went he planted an apple
seed. He was fond OF apples, ana dur-
ing the season always had a supply.
He never threw the core away, as
do most people, but carefully preserV-
ed the seeds, and as he threaded his
way along the newly cut roads through
the wilderness in his Wanderlngs
| through the States he here and there
planted an apple seed. Hundreds OF
| trees that ne planted grew to peTfec-
ton, and many an orchard IN western
Pennsylvania, h and Indiana had
Apple Seed John" He was never
known by any other name.
There was q law in Spain that every
traveller eating fruit as he jouIneyed
along the Spanish highways should
stop long enOugh to plant the seed,
and 1t is said that for many years all
the roads Of Spain were lIned with
| peach, pear and apricot trees sprlng-
ing from the seeds thus planted. The
| fruit of those trees was for the re-
f~resh1nent Of travellers, and were per-
mitted to be gathered by them, and
then only enough for their immediate
wants.
When Virginia ceded the territory
northwest of the Ohio river to the gen.
eral government, the government set
aside one section Of $40 acres. of the
land out Of every sixteen sections for
school purposes In Ohio and indiana
and perhaps other States afterwards,
the legislatures provided for leasing
the school lands for agricultural pur-
| poses, and stipulated h q the lessor
should plant annually a specified nurn-
Der of peach and apple trees. All
these things happened before any con-
serVation theory was taught. In some
Of the states mentioned it was pro-
vided that the lessor of school lands
Should not cut down any Of the TIM
ber trees growing thereon. SO it will
be seen that conservation Is no new
idea
Much has been done during the past
few years to improve the highways OF
the country Now, il along those
highways fruit and forest trees were
planted SO as to make a refreshing
shade during the hot days of the sum-
mer, it would be a delight, and not q
punishment, to travel along the coun-
try roads of America Plant q seed.
There used to a story in our school
books of a New England village that
was famed far and wide for its beau
tifully shaded streets. In summer
time it was like a forest. All the beau
ty and glory came from the bcnevo-
lencc of one man, who, on dying, pc
oueathed to the trustees OF the village
5000, which was to be carefully IN
vested and the proceeds annually OK
pended IN planting and caring for
shade trees along the streets. Thus
for nearly a hundre years this mans
gift had annually planted q hundred
or more treets in the village.
