.ArbOr and
Garden Day
A Proclamation By Governor
A. E. Sleeper.

Although Michigan has been largely
denuded Of her stately and magnificent
forests of former day, we still take
high rank as timber State; and wise
policy Of reforestation will help to re-
store, In the years to come, what has
been lost. Let us continue too the GUS
tom of observing Arbor Day by the
planting Of trees around our homes,
our schools, our churches and in our
streets and public parks.
Last year the people of the State
were urged to plant gardens also, and
the response to this appeal was so
general that huge crop of vegetables
resulted. The need of garden products
is even more urgent this year. Our
soldiers in France must be fed, as must
the armies of our Allies. Every pound
Of vegetables, raised in a Michigan gar
den, will release so much wheat for
shipment abroad. Let every family
then plant war garden. II you can't
plant big garden, try little one; and
take care Of it.
There is another matter to which, at
this time, desire to call attention.
Strong representations have been made
to me that the High-bush Barberry
(Berberis Vulgaris), with its purple
leafed variety, has become dangerous
nuisance, because it harbors and
spreads the BLACK STEM RUST of
wheat and other grains. The annual
loss from this rust amounts to millions
Of bushels of grain. The Japanese
Barberry (Berberis ThunbergiD, on
the other hand, is declared to be quite
harmless in this respect. Accordingly,
/ earnestly request that the aforesaid
noxious shrub be dug up and destroy
ed, wherever it may exist throughout
the State, and replaced by some inno-
cuous variety of ornamental shrub.
Therefore, /, ALBERT E. SLEEPER,
Governor of the State of Michigan, do
hereby designate and set aside,
FRIDAY, MAY THIRD, 1918,>
AS Arbor and Garden Day, in the hope
that both the old and the young of our
people may be impressed with the
needs of the situation, and may be
stimulated not only to plant trees, as
has been our custom on Arbor Day,
but to plant their garden plots with
potatoes and corn and beans and other
nutritious vegetables; and | suggest
that this day be marked also by the
destruction Of the High-bush Barberry.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal Of the State this eighteenth day of
April, in the year OF our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and eighteen,
and Of the Commonwealth the eighty
second.
