GIVING ARB0R DAY
A PRACTICAL TURN
Systematic Planting For Reclama-
ton And Improvement as Sub
stftute For Haphazard Work Care
lessly Done And Soon Forgotten.

The annual proclamation of the
Governor reminds us that Arbor Day
falls on Friday, the 7th of April. 1t
calls on people irrespective OF age
or sex to aid the efforts which the
State itself is making to set Mary
land we'll up among the other States
| for it's attractive homes, fine trees,
and valuable forests.
Arbor Day, very unfortunately, is
but one day in a year, and people
have often remarked that If the en-
thusiasm and effort expended on that
day toward the planting of trees ana
the conservation of forests might be
distributed over the year as a whole,
much good might be accomplished In
practical direction. Since obvious
| ly this Is not, or cannot, be so, II
remains to ascertain what steps may

ant benefits Of one days work may
themselves be divided among this

effects through the cessation of en-
thusiasm and care too often prone to

! tions and individuals on Arbor Day.
Since its formation in 1906, the

has been bending a good share of its
energies toward inducing owners of
waste land to reclaim them through
more profitable use. The State of
Maryland is normally fertile one,

area, 674,955 acres, are classified as
waste lands at the present time.

the State have had the opportunity
of buying standard. well-grown for

them have, and year ago about So
