wv m many states AfDOr ual colneS HIS
fall, but the school children of the coun-
try promise to make almost every day Arbor day
this year and during the spring of 1920. Hundreds
of towns and cities have been entered on the ma
tional honor roll being compiled by the American
Forestry association at Washington. The associa-
ton hopes to see every young American citizen be
come II Johnny Appleseed, Jr."
You emember the story of Johnny Appleseed,
as they called him, who, many years ago, went up
and down tie land planting appletree seeds! That
was not his real name, but that is what he came to
be called. OF course Il lot of people laughed at
him, for there We're so many trees then. Many
thought him craZed. But now his idea is taken To
be "A good one. For many things have happened
since the day of Johnny Appleseed. The world
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 II campaign is on to have every victory
gardener plant Il nut or fruit tree in his garden or
back yard. Another fine opportunity for planting
is memorial trees along the motor highways and
good reads that are in the process of building.
To these calls 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 a great chance TO enter actively into
the study of outdoor life through the planting of
trees. The American Forestry association will
send any one a free planting day program and in
structiOns how to plant II tree.

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:
NO finer memorial can he erected by any school
or class than by the planting of II tree. Every
pupil will have n close and intimate interest in
that tree and therefore the school after he leaves.
| 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 1910. A space on the campus or a walk
near the town can be lined with trees, one for
each member of the class. The American Forestry
association is registering all memorial trees in a
national honor roll and urges that all tree planting
be reported that IT may keep its rolls complete"
