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 on which the trustees of
every rural school and incorporated village
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 foreign country has adopted
the American holiday known as Arbor Day. The
nation that has paid us this compliment of imi.
tation is Spain, but in the land of the Dons the
festival is known as Festa 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 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
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
1t is probable that very few Of the children who
plant trees or assist In planting trees Arbor

maintains a big institution the primary purpose
of which is not merely to encourage but actually
to carry on tree planting. This establishment.

ters 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 a member, resolution setting
apart April 10 Of that year tree planting day..
The legislature finally adopted the resolution
as proposed by Mr.. Morton, although some 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 an
emphatic success and than one million
trees were planted throughout Nebraska on 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 was due in part, no 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 was 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 20. If Ne
braska can be taken an example, the influence
of Arbor Day Is certainly most beneficial and the
only pity is 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 total Of three hundred
and fifty million trees and vines were planted In
Nebraska as the direct outcome of this move.

American people have suddenly awakened to the

country being exhausted at dangerously rapid
rate with no prospect of repenishing, but, worse
yet. the wanton waste of forests has sequel

Tree Day" would be quite appropriate
name as Arbor Day for the spring holiday and
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 devolves by
decree OF time ehonored custom, upon magistrates,
local officials pubc-spirited citizens, but for
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 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 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-

125,OOO AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In report of the House Committee
(Washington) appears the following:
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
Of absence each year and most lenent
regulations"
All of which Is true and 1t Is now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence of these is found In the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all of Southern Alberta. He says:
81 have seen six crops, four Of them
were first class, one of them very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches Of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, 80 that am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural in
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
In the world. We have good soil, good
water, and good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin,.
Hundreds Of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled SO rapidly.
Full particulars can be had Of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.
