COMPLAINT OF FARMERS
AGAINST LEAD COMPANY

Farmers residing and owning lands
along Big River met at DeSoto last
Saturday and discussed the matter OF
the pollution Of the stream by the
St. Joseph Lead Company of Bonnie
Terre, Mo.
A preliminary organization was
formed and resolutions adopted. r.
Henson was made chairman and
Frank Perkins secretary. A com.
Inittee was appointed to perfect
plans for n permanent organization.
The members of the committee
are: |. l.. Page of Bonnie Terre,
James Allen of Trumet, George
Harness of Home Springs, Steve
Cole of Blackwell, J. Williams of
Cedar Hill and F. Rheimer of Vine
land.
The sense OF the meeting was ex.
pressed by Frank DIETRICH, who said:
1.-THE valuable lands along Big
River are being absolutely ruined by
slime from the lead mills. This
slime forms soft bed, which in
times of high water Is distributed
and thrown up on the cultivated
ground, so that along the entire
length of the river farms have been
ruined, Devastating traces Of the
slime are visible to even the mex
perienced.
1--WE expect to organize perman-
emily and perhaps incorporate. Then
we expect to bring action for dam
ages against the lead company that
will run well over II million dollars.
"There is some difference Of opin-
ion as to the style of the organiza-
ton, but this will he left to the com
mittee."
The resolutions declare that for
forty years the slime from the lead
mill has been emptied into the river;
that 1t has destroyed the fish, spread
over the fertile lowlands, until, dur
ing the last ten years, they have
been almost valueless, and the farm
ers are urged to take steps to pro.
tect their fields from further dam.
age.

TUESDAY, APRIL z, ARBoR DAY

Next Tuesday has been named by
Governor Hadley as the official Ar
Dor Day for Missouri, and recon-
mends that the children in the va.
rious schools plant at least one tree
or plant on that day. II IL a good
time to begin the adjoining of the
grounds of FarmingtOn's new High
School, and general holiday for
that purpose ought to be given all
the schools.
1.-The recent movement towards
the conservation of natural re-
| sources has been strong factor i'm
recalling the custom of annually
planting trees in the various States
and the people are taking a deeper
interest In observing the day. II il
"A generally recognized fact that, at
the present rate of consumption
the American forests will be de-
Stroyed so far as commercial uses
are concerned within perhaps TWEEN
~ years. This condition of affairs,
If permitted to be brought about,
might have IA disastrous effect upon
climate conditions, upon the grow
ing crops, and upon the health of
the people.
"Arbor day Is day set apart by
the Legislatures of most OF the
States for the annual planting Of
trees by the people and more espec-
tally the school children. The day
now is observed in some States as a
legal holiday aud in other States as
IA school holiday. Some States, in
GLIDING New York, publish an Ar
hor Day manual. The date for the
observance OF ArbOr Day is not uni
form throughout the different States
but generally is late in April or ear
ly in May.
1.-The custom of planting trees an
nually is said to have had its origin
in 1860 when Il. G.. Northrop, while
secretary of the Connecticut Board
of Education, suggested tree plant
ing under the direction OF the State
government. Sterling Morton of
secretary of agriculture
under President Cleveland, probably
was the first man topropose the set
ting aside of certain day on which |
TO observe this custom. That the
suggestion of Morton's has been a |
profitable one is shown by the fact |
hat more than $4,000, 900 trees have |
been planted In Nebraska alone,
