ters second term in the White House. 1t was in
IoIZ tnat Mr.. Morton conceived the idea of this
unique holiday and he forthwith introduced be-
lore the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture. of
"h'ch ne was a member, a resolution setting
apart April 10 OF that year as tree planting day"
The. legislature finally adopted the resolution
as proposed by Mr.. Morton, although some Of
mis- colleagues thought that Sylvan Day" would
be a better title for the newly-created festival.
and there is a portion Of the public that inclines
TO this belief today. The new scheme proved an
emphatic success and more than one million
trees were planted throughout Nebraska on that
nrst 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 was due In part, no doubt, to
the fact that the Nebraska State Board of Agri-
culture, which created the holiday, offered a prize
OF one hundred dollars to the agricultural society
OF that county which planted properly the largest
number OF trees. and provided a farm library
and a purse OF twenty-five dollars for the person
who planted the largest number of trees.
The next year Arbor Day was observed through
out Nebraska with increasing enthusiasm and in
1874 the governor. by official proclamation, desig.
mated the second Wednesday of April as Arbor
Day Tor Nebraska. In 1855, when the legislature
OF the state formally designated Arbor Day as a
holiday the date was changed to April %. n No.
oraska can be taken as an example, the influence
OF Arpor Day is certainly most beneficial and the
only pity Ia that other states could not have
placed the holiday on their official calendars as
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 a total of three hundred
and NIFTY million trees and vines were planted In
Nebraska as the direct outcome OF this move
ment.
The FIRST states to follow the example OF Ne
oraska IN adopting Arbor Day were Michigan and
