AliBOR DAY, APRIL %.
Governor Clarke Issues Proclamation
Appealing to People of Iowa to
Observe Day by Planting Trees.

3Des Moines, April 7.-Governor G.
w. Clarke today issued proclama-
ton designating Friday, April %, as
Arbor Day. 1t is not mere formal
proclamation however, but an ear
nest appeal for the planting OF trees
on school grounds and at proper
places on public highways. He says
that Notwithstanding the fact that
iproclamations have been issued on
Arbor Day observance for twenty-five
Years there are probably now as
MANY or more school houses without
"a tree or shrub on the grounds as
there were twenty-five years ago. HIS
proclamation and appeal follows:
For almost twenty-five years gov
ernors Of Iowa have annually issued
proclamation designating day to De
known as Arbor Day and urging its
observance, particularly in the schools
of the state, by the planting OF trees
on school grounds. Notwithstanding
that fact it is very probable that there
are as many, or more, school houses
without tree or shrub on their
grounds as when the first proclama-
ton was issued. The day, however,
has been regularly observed by read
ing and singing the finest things that
have been said about trees.
| Iowa has spent $7,000,v00 on new
public school buildings within the
last three years. There are l76 con-
-solidated schools in the state. The
new buildings are, for the most part,
beautiful and equipped with all mod
ern improvements. The grounds
about them, as a rule, are commodi-
Gus. Should not these new buildings
have beautiful settings? Should not
the children be taught to assist in
protecting every plant, tree and
shrub placed on the grounds! VIII
not the people think of these things
and delay no longer?
"In order that they may l hereby
name and proclaim Arbor Day. April
%, 1916, and beg that meetings be
called at once to arrange for prop
err observance of the day-beg that
somebody in each community will
take the initiative in behalf of bet
ter and more beautiful state and
finer ideals among the people and
urge that not only at our school
houses and other public buildings
but also along our public highways
at proper places, there be planted
trees, shrubs and plants, all contri-
buting to the things that make life a
joy and genuinely worth while. Have
not the young people pride enough
and interest enough in the future to
unitedly accomplish this task? Will
not the women's clubs see to it that
hereafter Arbor Day shall mean
more?"

Making Garden.

Making garden is harmless pur-
suit which is INDUCED in every
spring by married men who envy the
farmer. Nine out of ten American
business men are convinced, after
casting up their bills payable at the
end of the month, that they should
be on the farm, and most of their
customers agree with them. AS few
business men, however, are able to
save enough out of their net earnings
after paying the hired girl, to buy a
farm, they console themselves by
making a garden which will not grow
anything but the hardy ard unterri-
fled onion.
There is a great profit in making a
garden, if it is done correctly. The
seeds do not cost anything, as they
are sent out by kind hearted mem
bers of congress, in exchange for a
vote Of thanks at the November cleo
tons. The congressional garden seeds
come in a neat. package bearing the
congressman's autograph, and every
once in a while will surprise the re-
cipient by sprouting in an upright at
titude. When the seeds fail to sprout
the congressman loses the vote OF
the plantee and all of his male rela-
tives, Some shrewd politicians figure
that more congressman have been
defeated for reelection by the non
sprouting garden seed than by all OF
the post office fights in the district
put together.
The best authorities agree that the
garden should be plowed before the
seed is put in, as better results are
obtained. Great care should also be
exercised in planting. Onions, ruta-
sbagos and summer squash can be
planted at any hour of the day OF
night and will come up in the face OF
zero weather, but early potatoes and
the delicate high-browed turniT
should always be planted in the full
of the moon, with the wind in the
southeast. There would be fewer
total failures of the potato crop II
people would observe this simple pre-
caution.
While the garden should be put
out by a man, owing to his superior
Judgment and mechanical ability, its
care and culture should be entrusted
to his wife. Woman is admirably fit.
ted to nurse the succulent string bean
and the blushing tomato from ado
lescence to adult manhood, and after
she has worked in the garden all day
she will be less inclined to CAD to
the picture show and drag reluctant
tight-fisted husband with her. II ev.
cry husband would turn over the gar
den to his wife it might be induced

spointment and jimpson weed.-HOw-
