You remember the story of Johnny Appeseed
as they called Em, who, many years ago, went up
and down the land planting apple-tree SEEDS! 1hat
was not his real name, but that is what he came 10
be called OF course lot Of people laughed al
him, for there many trees then. MANY
thought him craZed But now his idea is taken 10
be a good one. For many things have happened
since the day of Johnny Appleseed The worle
war has set our people thinking about many
things One of these things has been the way
lumber is being consumed. Then too, there is the
high cost of living that agitates everyone. In many
places the planting of nut and fruit trees is adVo
Gated and a campaign is on to nave every Victory
gardener plant nut or fruit tree IN MS garden OF
back yard. Another fine opportunity for planting
In memorial trees along the motor highways ana
good roads that in the process OF building.
To these cells of the American Forestry associa-
ton the people of the country are responding IN
hearty fashion. So to the school children OF the
country comes great chance to enter actively into
the study of outdoor life through the planting OF
trees. The American Forestry association Will

With this day before us, Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the American Forestry association.
sends this message to the school children of the
United States:
mo finer memorial can be erected by any school
or class than by the planting Of tree. Every
pupil will have q close and intimate interest In
that tree and therefore the school after he leaves
I need not attempt to picture what that tree or
avenue of trees will mean to the class of 1920 when
1t comes back to the old school for the class re-
union in 1940 A space the campus walk
near the town be lined with trees, one for
each member of the class. The American Forestry
association is registering all memorial trees in
national honor roll and urges that all tree planting
be reported that it may keep its rolls compete"
