it is pot metal. 1t is true that only
two pages are printed i'll the office

The News has a contract with the
Wetern Newspaper Union to furn-
ish four pages OF ready prints,

ARB0R DAY TOO LATE
 FOR MOHAVE COUNTY

Our legislators made a great mis- take when they classed Mohave with the cold counties of the north, as it enjoys the same climate as its more favorably situated counties to the south, and therefore, when April was designated as the month to be ob- served in tree planting it gets too close to the torrid summer months to give tree a chance to take root and be in shape to withstand the hot weather. The real tree planting time in this county should be De- ,cember, and not later than February, The proclamation of Governor Camp bell sets aside the 4th day of April, this year, as Arbor Day, while in the other counties with ideally the same climate as Mohave the Arbor Day is in February. We would ad- wise tree-planters to use their own judgment as to the proper time for community to plant trees or shrubs.
