exposure of the roots is fatal to them.
Owatonna, Red Wing and other
cities and villages of Minnesota are
beautifed by evergreen trees planted
years ago, and it would be useful if
the capital city Of the State of Min
nesota would set a good example In
such enterprise. A fine record in tree
planting this coming spring would be
favorable omen for the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, to be
voted on next November, and which,
if carried, will enable the Legislature
to set apart as state school or other
state forests such of the states lands
as are better adapted for the produc-
ton of timber than for agriculture,
and which would place Minnesota in
the front rank of forestry states.
