Tree Day would be quite as appropriate a
name as ArbOr Day for the spring holiday and a
notable feature of its observance in the average
community consists in the planting of trees and
shrubs along roadsides and in other suitable
places. In some instances the work devoves by
decree or time hOnored custom, upon magistrates,
local officials publicspirited citizens, but for
the most part it is in the hands of the teachers
and pupils of public and private schools 1t is
not too much to say that Arbor Day like sew
eral other of the spring festivals is primarily
young peoples holiday.
For all that most communities observe Arbor
Day in April, the fact remains that it is a NOV
able festival, and there are some sections of the
country where, owing to the climate, it is desir-
able to have the tree planting exercises at some
other time of year In majority of our states
the date for Arbor Day is either selected by the
state legislature by the governor of the state
acting under legislative authority. Usually, SUI
perintendents of schools supplement the guberna-
torial proclamations the subject of Arbor Day
by the issuance of open letters bearing upon the
aim and object of the holiday and with due ref

Minnesota, which took action in 1876 Thereafter
there followed steady procession of other states
the legislatures of which became converts to the
popular idea. In 1887 the movement took root
in Canada, the Educational Department of On
tario setting apart day which the trustees Of
every rural school and incorporated village were
desired to plant shade trees and make flower
beds. Oddly enough, the State of New York did
not fall into line in this movement until the year
1888, but when the state legislature did take up
the matter it enacted very explicit legislation,
prescribing for exercises in the public schools
tending to encourage the planting, protection and
preservation of trees and shrubs.
Thus far only one foreign country has adopted
the American holiday known Arbor Day. The
nation that has paid this compliment of mf-
tatOn is Spain, but in the land of the Dons the
festival is known as fiesta del Arbol meaning
the Fete of the Tree. The Spanish holiday was
naugurated in 1896 and is celebrated earlier than
in this country-namely, on March 2S On the
first Tree Day in Spain the young King Alfonso
with the queen regent and the ladies of the court
proceeded to grounds situated near the village Of
HortaZea, two miles distant from Madrid
Here the king planted pine sapling and two
thousand children selected from the schools of
Madrid, Immediately followed his example. Then
gold medals commemorative Of the event and
duly inscribed with the date were distributed
among the youthful tree planters Although only
Spain has actually copied the Yankee customs Of
Arbor Day several other countries notably
France. Great Britain Japan and New Zealand
have holidays that very similar to tree
planting festival.
1t is probable that very few of the children who
plant trees assist in planting trees on Arbor
Day realize that the United States government
maintains big institution the primary purpose
of which is not merely to encourage but actually
to carry tree planting This establishment
for the employees of which every day in the year
is Arbor Day, is known the Division of Silv
culture and is branch of the U. S. Forest Serv-
ice In the average year Uncle Sans official
tree planters set out upwards of half a million
trees, most Of them located in the national for
ests. Moreover, not only does Uncle Sam main
tain his nurseries source of supply for
his perpetual tree planting campaign, but he also
aids private owners who desire to set out trees

ter's second term in the White House It in
1872 that Mr.. Morton conceived the idea Of this
unique holiday and he forthwith introduced be-
fore the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture of
which he was member resolution setting
apart April 10 OF that year tree planting day.
The legislature finally adopted the resolution
as proposed by Mr. Morton, although of
his colleagues thought that Sylvan Day" would
be better title for the newly-created festival.
and there is portion of the public that inclines
to this belief today. The scheme proved
emphatic success and than million
trees planted throughout Nebraska that
first Arbor Day. Not only were the children of
the public schools interested from the outset but
individuals and local societies of various kinds
participated This due in part, doubt, to
the fact that the Nebraska State Board of Agri-
culture, which created the holiday, offered prize
of one hundred dollars to the agricultural society
of that county which planted properly the largest
number Of trees, and provided farm library
and purse of twenty-five dollars for the person
who planted the largest number of trees.
The next year ArbOr Day observed through
out Nebraska with increasing enthusiasm and in
1874 the governor, by official proclamation, desig
mated the second Wednesday of April Arbor
Day for Nebraska. In 1885 when the legislature
of the state formally designated Arbor Day
holiday the date changed to April %. If Ne
braska can be taken as example the influence
Of Arbor Day is certainly most beneficial and the
only pity is that other states could not have
placed the holiday their official calendars
early as did Nebraska Statistics show that in
a period of sixteen years following the date on
which Farmer Morton secured the adoption of
the Arbor Day project total of three hundred
and fifty million trees and vines were planted in
Nebraska as the direct outcome of this
ment.
The first states to follow the example of Ne
braska in adopting Arbor Day were Michigan and
