..??. 1 rv?o mni ko A ..^ii 10 ?H
yxrai ui i.'.u win ur a^h h ict?*i,
/ % according to proclamation by
a / .% President Coolldge. This week is
I i not intended to do awuy with
I the observance of Arbor Day in
j V ,'le severu' states, its purpose is
I (TP" I ?5| to see that the menace of our
TOjL vanishing forests is brought home
to ''le American people by natlonvL~v?|B?^i
wide observance during that week
the spirit of Arbor Day?by educational
programs, by demonstrations
and tree-planting.
Arbor Day is being increasingly observed in
various parts of the country, but has little legal
standing and its observance is a hodge-podge, Just
as is that of many of our holidays. In fact, the
standing of Arbor Day as a holiday emphasizes
the curious state of affairs that obtains in the
nation as to holidays.
Congress has passed no laws establishing holidays
for the whole country, with the exception
that it has designated the second Sunday in May
as Mother's Day. It lias mude I.abor Day a holiday
in the District of Columbia. President Wilson issued
a proclamation May HO, 1910, requesting that
June 14. the anniversary of the day on which the
Flag was adopted by congress, be observed as
Flag Day throughout the nation.
So. when everything in the way of business
stops on Christmas, New Year's and Independence
Days it Is because of general custom and not because
of congressional legislation. Beyond this
everything is a mix-up. The legality of a holiday,
in wnole or in i>art, seems to be largely a question
of geography?state laws having wide divergence.
Illinois offers a fair example. Its legal holidays
have been established by the legislature,
largely through laws affecting negotiable instruments.
New Year's Day. Christmas Day, July
Fourth and Sundays have been accepted as legal
holidays since the beginning of the state's history
(181S). Thanksgiving Day?proclamation by the
President of the United States and by the governor
of Illinois?has been regularly observed since
1S63. the year of Abraham Lincoln's first proclamation.
Election Dny was first observed as a holiday
in 1872 and was later limited to elections at which
members of the legislature were chosen. Following
are the dates on which Illinois legislative acts
creating legal holidays since 1881 were approved:
Washington's Birthday. May 30. 1881 ; Memorial
Dny. May 30, 1881 ; Labor Day. June 17, 1801; Lincoln's
Birthday, June 17, 1,801 ; Saturday afternoons
iti cities of 200.000 or more population,
May 13, 1005; Columbus Day. May 10, 1900;
Mother's Day, May 8. 1014; Indian Day, June 21.
1019; Armistice Day. June 24. 1021. Nevertheless,
organized labor, which does no work on Labor
- ?? wo uh i net on-s Birthday. Lincoln's
uuy, WUI ttn oil
Birtliday. Armistice Pay, etc. And so on.
Arbor Day in Illinois Is supposedly appointed
by the governor. It usuaijy comes on the third
Friday of April In the northern part of the state
and on the fourth Friday of October In the southern
part.
Arbor Pay In most of the states is?at least in
theory?appointed by the goverhor. Kansas is one
state that has fixed Arbor Pay by slatute. Its date
is October 12. This Is because Kansas was a treeless
state- and Arbor Pay was considered important.
Nebraska also has given Arbor Day a
fixed date, April 22; that was out of compliment to
Julius S. Morton of that state who was secretary
at agriculture in the Cleveland and McKinley cabinets
and was influential in promoting the observance
of the day. Utah is the third state to
have a fixed date for Arbor Pay. April 15?treeplanting
was essential in the early days of the
settlement of that state and the Mormons made
the desert blossom like the rose.
So Arbor Pay is scattered all over the calendar.
It comes as early as "the first Monday In February"
in Arizona and as late as "the first Friday
In December" in Georgia. Colorado, which has a
climate a good deal like that of Arizona, usually
observes "the third Friday In April."
And here's another angle to the observance of
Arbor Day: The fall is a much better season than
the spring for the planting of many kinds of trees.
For tiiis reason a number of states are getting
into the way of having an additional tree-planting
time of several days in the fall; the occasion is
entirely unofficial and is due to local interest. It

Is evident, therefore, that tlie observance or
Arbor Day In the country is largely a matter of
locality.

POLK COUNTY NEWS,

railed Forest Protection Week. Its main purpose
was the protection of our national forests?and
forests In general?against Are. It* program was
directed by the United States Forest Sendee, the
barean of the United States Agricultural Department
which haa charge of the national forests.
But the forestry problem Is now of national Importance,
with many phases and ramifications.
So last year at a meeting in Chicago of representatives
of many of the interests concerned in
this forestry problem the week was renamed the
American Forest Week and Its scope greatly
widened. Frank O. Lowden, former governor of
Illinois, presided.
Mr. Lowden explained that public Interest In
forest restoration and protection had now become
so general and Insistent that it was necessary to
broaden the designation of what had been Forest
Protection week. The interest of the people in
the forests is fur more than that of protecting
them from fires, fundamental as such protection
is. It is that of national welfare, resting on the InI
dispensability of wood in industry and commerce,
nnd the importance of forests In stream control,
irrigation, general agriculture, prevention of
erosion, recreation and- climatic effects.
Viewed in this light, American Forest Week hns
'an appeal in the treeless regions es well as in the
forest country, and the changes In public policy
that must be made if the forests are to he perpetuated
must proceed from a universally formed
public opinion. lie further pointed out that now
that economic changes are beginning to make forest
perpetuation profitable and therefore possible
to private owners, a public movement In the interests
of forestry has become practicable. Such a
movement, he said, was also necessary to formulate
and apply a great, latent public opinion in
favor of a definite forestry policy for the nation.
Mr T.owden was elected permanent chairman of
n directing committee of approximately 100 organizations
more or less affiliated In forestry and conservation
matters. Five vice chairmen were named
' to nssist Mr. Lowden, viz: Mrs. John Dickinson
Sherman of Colorado, president of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs; Frank G. Wisner,
Mississippi, president of the National Lumber
Manufacturers' association; Will Dilg, Chicago,
president of the Izaak Walton league; William It.
Greeley, California, chief of the Failed States
forest service; George L). I'ratt, New York, president
of the American Forestry association. Headquarters
for the committee will be in Wnshlng~
ton with Kdgar P. Allen, director, in charge and
Miller Hamilton, secretary.
Former Governor Lowden is a leader in the
co-operative movement among the farmers of the
country. He Is also a practical "dirt farmer." He
practices what he preaches in the way of forestry
and has set out thousands of pine trees in barren
spots on his big Illinois farm. "No man holds good
enough title to any acre of land." be declares, "to
leave It in a less fruitful condition than when lie
got It."
Mrs. Sherman represents a body of organized
club women with a nation-wide membership of
ubout 3,000,000. It Is probably the most powerful
organization in the country today. For more than
a generation the General Federation lias been an
active promoter of Arbor Day and all that It
stands for. Mr. Dilg is a leader In the Izaak
Walton League which was largely instrumental in
the establishment of the flsh and game reservations
along the Upper Mississippi land has purchased
large tracts in the Jackson Hole region for
the winter relief of the Yellowstonei elk herds.

now at work in all parts of the country on the
plans of observance. It Is expected that through
the programs being arranged every community will
be deeply stirred during American Forest Week to
an appreciation of the dimensions and urgency of
the nation's forest problems, such as protection
from fire and destructive taxation, reforestation,
extension of forest areas, utilization of the forests
for recreational and Industrial purposes, and
the creation of conditions promotive Instead of
deterrent of forest maintenance.

President Coolidge, in his American Forest Week
proclnmation, called attention to the fact that the
Canadian government has set apart the same
week for the same purpose. "This," rfe said, "is
an added reason why our citizens should give careful
thought to a matter so important to both countries."
Although warning that "too long have we as a
nation consumed our forest wealth without adequate
provision for its wise utilization and renewal,"
the President noted that a "gratifying
change Is taking place in the attitude of our industries,
our landowners and the American people
toward our forests."
"The wise use of land," he continued, "is one of
lite main foundations of sound national economy.
It is the corner stone of national thrift. The waste
or misuse of natural resources cuts away the
groundwork on which national prosjierity is built."
The pictures given herewith are suggestive. No.
1 shows a bit of timber under scientifitf forestry:
every farmer's woodlot should look the dame. Nos.
4 and 2 show a forest fire burning?and what It
leaves; in 1024 something like 20,000,000 acres
of forest were fire-swept and It would take .'!0(l
years and $.'100,000,000 to replace their burned forests?af
the rate we are now doing reforestation.
No. it Is a glimpse of the Kaibab National forest
on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon; tite deer
arc too numerous there and are eating up an tne
young growth In a struggle for existence. No. ,r>
is an object-lesson of the fact that (wo men with
n snw can In a few minute* undo two or three
centuries of nature's handiwork.
Many powerful organizations are among those
working to straighten out the forestry problem.
The American Kngineerlng Council, for example,
will co-operate In a national observance of American
Forest Week, It was announced by the president
of the council, Dean Dexter S. Kimball of
Cornell university. The council, through Its constituent
societies, numbering more than six thousand
engineers. Is carrying on nationwide efforts
10 save the nation's forest resources, fhe
engineers make this point, among others:
"Long before our 'coal supply Is exhausted the
price will have gone to a point which makes it
practically impossible to utilize It for heating
our homes. When the coal supply has gone to a
price which we cannot afford to pay, then we
shall be more and more dependent upon our
water supplies, and yet those water supplies
are being destroyed. They are being destroyed
because the forests, the tree growths on the
watersheds, ' ave been. destroyed, and as a consequence
the earth and matter that can flow wfth
our floods is carried into the streams. The silt is
therefore filling up streams and reservoirs and
destroying water power."
The American Tree Association, of which
Charles Lathrop Pack is president, Is going an
Important work in getting individual citizens to
plant trees. It has a large and rapidly increasing
membership?plant a tree, register it at the
Washington headquarters and become a member;
there are no dues. Mr. Pack has Just published
the "Forestry Primer," which will be sent for 3
cents for postage. The year 1926 marks the semicentennial
of the first step in forestry of the federal
government. The publication of the "Forestry
Primer" Is another step in the American
Tree Association's campaign to get forestry facts
before schools, clubs and civic organizations.
"The 'Forestry Primer,' says Mr. Pack, "alms
not only to mark this semi-centennial date, but
aims to direct the public opinion of tomorrow to
the great importance to our economic structure,
of that corner stone of our country's economic
safely?forests."
