“A people without
would face a hopeless future; a
country without trees is about as
helpless,” so said Theodore Boose-
volt.
Arbor Day is a day set aside for
the planting ot trees, shrtibs and
vinos. This day was first observed
in Nebraska in 1872, fifty-one years
ago J. Sterling Morton, afterwards
United States Commissioner of
Agriculture, suggested it- The
Stale lloard of Agriculture of Ne
braska offered prizes to the child
who planted the most trees on
April 22, 1885, which was Mor
ton’s birthday. This day after
wards was made a holiday by the
Nebraska Legislature.
Our purpose of this celebration
is to implant in our boys and girls
—our future American citizen - a
love of Nature and the wonderful
world about thorn* Another is to
impress the necessity of planting
trees for the future,
The Chineso famines of today
are caused by the forests having
been cut down in years past. If we
Amercians continue to cut our
forests, we too will face ,th'o same
famines in years to come.
Since timo began, (ho shade tree
has been the changeless and un
failing friend of man. Bopeath the
trees friendly boughs man has
found refuge from the blazing sun
aud the angry storms.
Wo should remember these lines:
“What does he plant who plants a
tree!
He plants iu sap and leaf and
wool,

ASPARAGUS BEING PLANTED
NEAR PERRY
Louis L. Brown Jr., of Fort
Valley' stated to the writer that
father L. L. Brown, has on his
farm near Grovania, about fifty
acres in asparagus aud will in the
next few weeks put but one hun-
. dred more acres.
He further states that there
, will be planted within, the next
few weeks in' different sections of
Houston county a total of one
thousand acres * to asparagus.
Thefe will be a considerable
acerage Ranted by, the farmers in'
a radipus of fiv^, miles of Perry.
There are large acerages of aspar-
gus in HouStpn, tba<fc are paying
good’proiits. and has done so for
the past four years. X ’
And for-cast thought of civic
good
His blessing on the neighborhood• ’’
Trees have had their part in
history no less than in literature.
In modern warfare the great gen
erals pitched their tents and held
their councils under the trees, as
did the captains of Carthago,
Greece and Borne. Tt was under
an Oak that Abraham received
the angel, and under a tree So
crates aud Plato held discussion.
Turn where one may, in the pages
of history or in the life of to-day
the shade tree makes appeal to the
imagination and to the &ense of
romance because it is man’s faith,
ful friend.
One of the beauty spots of the
wor/ld is the site of the tomb of
Vergil, overlooking the Gulf of
Naples. This tomb marks the great
poet’s favorite retreat during his
last years of life, and it .was here
that lie wrote his undying poems.
A traveler can well understand
why he chose this spbt with its
woody slopes overlooking the blue
Mediterranean Sea. At Cambridge
a traveler sees the,;EIms that Long
fellow loved and where so many of
his beautiful po,em$ were written.
The trees afford,,homes for our
birds of bright plmfiage and our
song birds. The protection bf bird
life js essential to jthe prosperity
of olu; country. ' v.i
The trees furnish 1 ’ material for
making our homes,’ furniture aud
nearly all the articles we use in
our every day lifeId planting a’

beauty, comfort pud wealth to

So with taunts being hurled she fled out
