Planting the Tree
on ArbOr Day


set for the annual planting of
trees in the state of Georgia; for
this reason it is called Arbor Day.
Arbor day was first observed in
1865; and was started as an an
nual custom in the State of
Nebraska in 1874. By 1890 thirty
five states had adopted it. Now
practically every state and terri
tory in the United States cele-
brate it; some as legal holiday,
and Others as a school holiday.
The exact date varies; in the
south, it is in early winter. in the
middle states, late winter; and
in the north it is early spring.
The observance of this day is
in accord with the enactment of
the Legislature, and is celebrated
by public-minded, nature-loving
people; especially the women's
organizations, and school teachers
and children, often with cere-
monies.
From the earliest times, it has
been mans instinct to seek pro-
lection from trees; and civiliZa-
ton has not caused him to aban-
don the idea. They are a protec-
ton in the time cold, in the time
of heat, in the time of -drouth,
and also in the time of flood.
But how many of our people
really know how TO select and
plant a tree with the assurance
that it will furnish shade and
beauty for the next generation?
The following are a few brief
directions for the Arbor Day
tree-planter:
Assuming that it is to be used
for the school, church, or home
yard, decidIous trees are more
desirable than evergreens.
Among which one may choose
the Water oak, Sycamore, Red
oak, White oak, Lombardy pop
lar, Red elm, Maple and Beech,
hickory-or the Pecan. Choose a
straight, upright, vigorous tree,
that measures from one to three
inches in diameter six inches
from the ground. The smaller
1.-THE tree the protection will be
necessary after planting, and the
longer che time before it will
make much shade. Dig the tree
with as large root-system as
practicable, letting as many of
the small roots remain as posi-
BILE. Do not mechanically injure
the roots by breaking, splitting
or knocking the bark off, and Of
course never let them become
dry. The hole should be big
enough to let the tree set two
inches deeper than it was before
1t was dug, without bending or
twisting the roots; and large
enough to let the lateral roots
keep their natural position with
out crowding. Place the tree in
the hole as if it were a living
thing, and not throw it in as you
would an iron post. While it is
being held upright in the center
of the hole, sprinkled fine we'll
pulverized soil oyer the roots,
making it firm around the roots
with general pressure of the foot.
Do not allow rocks, clods, sticks
or any thing that would cause
larger air spaces, to come in con-
tact with the roots; but don't
neglect to pack the soil closely
around them. When the hole is
almost full, pack the soil firmly,
then quit: leaving mound OF
fine unpacked soil four inches
deep over the whole root-system.
Rich, soil should be used to fill
the hole, but avoid letting strong
manure come in contact with the
roots of the tree. After it has
been set, cut the top back in pro-
portion to the amount that the
roots were cut, while it was being
dug.

change nroved helpful to the bull side

exchange proved helpful to the bull side of the market here.
 An additional reason for the upward swing of wheat values today was that selling from the country against the new crop had been unlocked for small pro- portion as yet. Bears who had been eX- pecting to take advantage of hedging pressure which usually accompanied the northward sweep of the harvest, were inclined to ascribe to farmers organlza- tions the comparative absence of rural offerings. Some improvement in doules- tic ofur trade was noted, and the sea- beard advised of 5OO000 bushels of wheat worked for export.
 Corn and oats were mainly influenced by the action of wheat. Good demand for corn for export was said tQ prevail at the seaboard
 Provisions averaged a little higher II | lins with hogs.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, June 20.-Dry weather com plaints from Canada and from some sec tions west of here had considerable to do today with bringing about an advance in the price of wheat. The market closed unsettled, Is to 2 5-sc net higher. with July SLIP 5-S to SIP 3-4 and September $1.13 1-4 to $1.13 S-S Corn gained S-4c to 1 1-Sc and oats 1-4c to 7-Sc. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to a rise of 2 1-2c.
 Probable deterioration from lack of rain formed the outstanding feature ot wheat reports from Canada, and led tc good deal of buying near the end ot the session in the wheat market. Al the same time, talk was current that parts of Nebraska and other states needed rain, and that the expected yield of winter wheat in such relatively dry territory had been diminished to 3 ma. terial extent by recent extreme heat Earlier in the day an upturn in the wheat quotations at Liverpool and in sterling

POETRY OF MAPLE SUGARING

Of course, were we forced to exist once
more entirely on what we could grow or
gather in our own neighborhood sugar
would give us little difficulty here in the
New England hills. Maple-sugar making
is, indeed, a practical industry, Nand the
groves are often so carefully protected, if
not actually set out that they should be
classed as cultivated. AS often, however,
they are entirely wild. The Indians were
perfectly familiar with the properties of
the maple tree, and greatly relished the
sugar, the little Indians pouring the hot
syrup into the snow to candy, even as
those children do today who are lucky
enough to live, near "bush." There is,
/ suppose, no more delicious saccharine
than condensed maple sap, and none which
is made by Sc delightful process. The
collection of the sap in March, going from
tree to dripping tree over the melting
snowdrifts or the patches of moist bare
soil which smell family of SPRING the boil
ing down in the great corrugated pans,
under sheds of which at least two walls
are composed of stacked cordwood, so that

more and more daylight come in as the
process advances, the pungent odor of the
burning wood the sweet steam of the boil
ing sap, the indescribable sweet crispness of
hot sugar stick made in the mold of
your own finger thrust in the snow, the
early sunsets over the western mountains,
the weary, happy plod down the pastures
toward the golden window squares that
mean supper--al of this goes into the fla
vor of the syrup and the sugar. 1t is
peculiarly American, and pioneer Ameri-
can, too. | never pour my syrup on
stack of cakes and get the flavor in my
mouth without seeing the tall sugar groves
going up the slopes of Cannon Mountain
into the mystery of the upland Wilderness
and without hearing the tinkle of the
brooks, released by spring, as they come
down to feed with their crystal purity
the roots that send up this sap. The stuff
you buy in the market for maple syrup
the various corn or cane syrup substitutes
are sad apology for the real thing.
There has been no Improvement in sugar
syrups over that which the Indians knew.
