A Proclamation Of
ArbOr Day in Arizona
BY the Governor

State House, Phoenix, Arizona.
Arizona. recognizing the value
and benefits of the custom in
augurated by the State of Ne
braska shortly after the Civil
War, has decreed the observance
of Arbor Day and imposed upon
the Governor the duty of set
ting aside two days Zone for the
southern and the other for the
northern counties) on which ap-
propriate exercises shall accom-
pany the planting of trees, vines,
shrubbery and flowers by the
pupils of public and private
schools.
In the pursuit of knowledge
there is a tendency to devote
our time to those subjects cal
culated to equip US mentally for
earning capacity, forgetting that
cultivation of the esthetic is es-
sential to a complete and well
rounded education and to the
enjoyment of those things in
life not measured by the stand
ard of dollars and cents. Love
of nature is inherent in every
human being, but if not edu-
Gated or lead out, it becomes
dormant and atrophied. Nature
cannot speak her varied lang
uage to those who have ears to
hear and will not listen and eyes
to see and will not look. To
such a child or man there is no
music of the spheres, no melody
in the winds soughing through
the pines. For him the birds do
not chant a song of praise; there
is no glory in the sunrise or les
son Of life in the sunset; the
desert is merely a barren waste
and the Grand Canyon is simply
a gigantic hole in the earth, in
stead of an awe-inspiring color
full creation Of the Master Painter
and Architect. Nature has been
prodigal with her gifts, but with
our eyes to the ground instead
of uplifted to the everlasting
hills, and the skies which de-
clare the glory of their Maker.

which have been created not
alone for our mental delectation,

Inc Filipino woman is destined to

Agriculture is-our most imno,ta,, ~
industry, 1t is the source of onr
greatness. It's continued success i
the condition of any permanent pros
perlty within our borders. The CON
servation movement must concern IT,
self with the SOIL for even our brief
history shows that fertile fields NAV
become abandoned farms through
other causes than lack of rainfall
The raising of live stock seems neces-
sary If we are to preserve the fertility
OF the soil. We should foster this in
dustry in every way we can.
I'VE should encourage cooperative
farming. Wherever you find agricul-
ture in its highest state you find that
cooperation has made its greatest ad-
vance,"
One of the most notable measures
taken by Gov. Lowden to foster agri-
culture was the civil administrative
code. This act consolidated in tha
state department. of agriculture vari-
Gus commissions and bureaus. created
from time to time to aid the farming
interests. The efficiency of admins
tration was vastly enhanced by This
Capitalization of responsibility, and
the benefits to the rural population
have been increasingly evident during
the two years since the code was
adopted.
Moreover, through Gov. Lowden's
active interest. number of bills have
been put through the legislature df-
rectly bearing on the farmers lot
These include the bin for establishing
tenancy commission, for regulating
commission merchants, the pure seed
law, the revised dog law, compensa-
tion for the slaughter of tubercular
cattle, appropriation of $125.0OO for d
limestone plant, appropriation for
live stock biological laboratory estab-
fishing a veterinary college, and regu-
lating the spread Of plant disease.
The governor likes not only farms
but farmers. In a speech recently he
said
"In these troublesome times l often
wish were governor of a state whose
only citizens were farmers. The
farmer is the greatest stabilizer in the
country and if it were not for our
farmers l would despair of

but for the purifcation of our
souls.
1t is therefore vital that our
schools recognize the Importance
and necessity of impressing upon
the platte minds of our children
that through an understanding
of Nature that they are better
able to comprehend whatfs good
land really worth while, and be-
come attuned to the Infinite.
Arbor Day therefore has more
than utilitarian significance and
it is meet and proper that these
deeper lessons should be dill
gently pursued.
Now. Therefore, l, Thomas E.
Campbell, Governor of Arizona,
by virtue of the authority vested
in me, and in conformity with
the provisions of Paragraphs
1887 -2840, Chapter Xxx of the
Revised Statutes Of Arizona, do
hereby designate Friday and set
apart, Friday the 9Th day of
February, 1920, as Arbor Day,
to be observed in the counties of
Cochise, Gila, Graham, Green
lee, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Santa

| hereby designate and set apart
Friday, the End day of April,
1920, as Arbor Day for due OBJ
servance in the counties of
Apache, Coconino, Navajo, Mo-
have and Yavapai.
And also recommend that
observance of these occasions be
not confined to the schools of the
commonwealth, but that those
of older years pause from their
labors and with civic pride as
their actuating motive, aid in
identifying the several commu-
mites in which they live.
In Witness Whereof, have
