Thus far only one foreign country has adopted
the American holiday known as Arbor Day. The
nation that has paid us this compliment of imi-
taton is Spain. but in the land Of the Dons tho
festival is known as FIESTA del Arbol, meaning
the Fete of the Tree. The Spanish holiday was
inaugurated in 1896 and is celebrated earlier than
in this country-namely, on March %. 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
Hortazela, some 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 are very similar to our tree
planting festival.
It is probable that very few of the children who
plant trees or assist in planting trees on Arbor
Day realize that the United States government
maintains a big institution the primary purpose
of which is not merely to encourage but actually
to carry on tree planting. This establishment.
for the employees of which every day in the year
is Arbor Day, Is known the Division of Silvi-
culture and is a branch of the U. S. Forest Serv-
ice In the average year Uncle Sans official
tree planters set out upwards of half million
trees most of them located in the national for
ests. Moreover not only does Uncle Sam main
tain his own nurseries as a source Of supply for
his perpetual tree planting campaign. but he also
aids private owners who desire to set out trees
on their property. Finally. Uncle Sam is con.

the Importance of trees to us as nation The
American people have suddenly awakened to the
fact that not only is the lumber supply of the
country being exhausted at dangerously rapid
rate. with no prospect OF repenishing, but worse
yet the wanton waste Of our forests has sequel
in climatic changes that may mean hardship for
many citizens of the republic. Indeed some ex-
perts 80 so far as to attribute to this cause the
terrific heat of last summer and the approx
mately exceptional cold Of the past winter
Tree Day would be quite as appropriate a
name as Arbor Day for the spring holiday and q
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 devoIves by
decree OF time-honored custom, upon magistrates,
local officials or publicspirted citizens but Tor
the most part 1t 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. 1t is desr-
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 or by the governor Of the state
acting under legislative authority. Usually, SUI
perintendents of schools supplement- the guberna-
torial proclamations on the subject Of Arbor Day
by the issuance of open letters bearing upon the
aim and object of the holiday and with due ref
erence to the lessons it teaches.
The state of Nebraska gets credit for original
ing Arbor Day, for 1t was the pioneer in what
