Plant a Tree on Arbor Day

The depletion of the timber supply of the
United States gives special emphasis to the ap-
peal of State Forester Charles C. Dean that
Arbor Day, April Is, be observed by the planting
of trees. Formerly we planted trees from cul-
tural and sentimental motives, but now we are
urged to plant them for commercial reasons also.
Indiana has hundreds of factories that de-
pend upon lumber for their prosperity. Many of
the factories in Richmond depend absolutely
upon the lumber supply for the manufacture of
their products. State Forester Dean estimates
that if 100000 children would each plant tree
Arbor Day they would add about $4,000 900
to the wealth of the country when the trees have
matured.
The department of conservation is especially
interested in having trees planted on soil that
cannot be used for agricultural purposes and
upon waste land. Hundreds of acres that are of
no use now, and never will be- can be made a
source of future wealth if trees are planted on
them now.
The planting of trees contributes to the per-
petuation of high civilization. Vast regions of
(hina that denuded of trees today
cherries and arid countries whose inhabitants
unable to raise enough food to sustain them.
With the destruction of trees went the reservoirs
of moisture that enabled the inhabitants to raise
crops.
Indiana is being aroused to the necessity of
conserving her timber supply and of taking steps
to assure the presence of trees for industry for
coming generations. The work of the depart
ment of conservation will be crowned with sue
cess if plant trees land that is adapted
to their growth.

PARIS POPULATION
INCREASE HEALTHY
(By Associated PreSS)


PARIS, April 11.-Corrected figures
for the census recently taken in this
city showing the population of four
fifths of the French capital, show
there has been a healthy growth since
1911. in spite of the loss of life during
the war The wards for which the fig
ures have been published have in
creased in population by $4,000, and it
is estimated that complete figures for
the city will show the population has
grown at least 10000 as the sensest
population Of Paris is found in wards
for which there is as yet no report
available.
Partial returns for two sections of
the department of the Seine which
comprise the closest suburbs Of Paris,
indicate a substantial increase of 49,
600 since 1911. The most densely
populated district is found in Leval-
lois-Perret. northwest of the city. and
the center of the auto industry. There
are 10000 residents of this district.
Rungis, a southern suburb, has 27O in
habitants, and has increased but seven
in population in the past 10 years.

last year punished him severely. A crop that
had been put in at high labor cost, with ma
chinery purchased at war prices had to be sold
at price that was less than the cost of produc-
ton. He had every reason to complain.
But instead of trying to revenge himself on
the whole country by reducing his acreage, the
farmers have sown more wheat than last year,
and have given us a guarantee, humanity speak
ing that we will have plenty to eat next winter.
The farmers have again demonstrated their pat
rotc regard for the welfare of the nation.

A Great Wheat Crop

The 1921 crop Of winter wheat will exceed
last years production by 4s, 2a7 900 bushels says
an estimate of the department of agriculture.
Farmers sowed 100000 more acres than last
year, and the damage last winter was SO slight
that few acres will be abandoned. MI
If the crop natures without further damage,
the country will have bumper yield to feed its
inhabitants and to sell for export purposes. The
supply of wheat win be larger than it was ex-
pected to be last year.
The losses which the American farmers ex-
perienced last year did not deter them from
sowing many acres to wheat, fact which urban
jewellers should not overlook. The farmer pock-
eted his loss, and then proceeded to produce
enough foodstuff to feed his country and part of
Europe
He displayed a spirit that is worthy of emu
lation. Instead of decreasing the wheat acreage,
on the theory that diminished yield would force
the price of wheat higher at harvest time, he
resolutely planted more acres than last year.
This magnanimous spirit of the men in the agri-
cultural industry prompts the New York Times
to say that "the farmers appear as better friends
of the hungry than of themselves" an ebserva-
ton that is loaded with truth
The farmers seemingly acted on the theory
that 'production is the path of plenty and went
ahead with sublime confidence in their country
and patriotic belief that everyone has to take a
loss in period following war deflation. If all of
us would become obsessed of that spirit and
would keep in mind the welfare of the whole
country in our, dealings, we would help nightly
to restore pre-war conditions.
During the war the farmer the price of
his products fixed by law. He had no chance to
make tremendous profits out of emergency.
