In accordaace with the resolution of the State.Legislature and with the longestablished custom of our State, Friday, May 1, 1890, is horeby designated as "Arbor Day." The people are earnestly requested to observe the day by setting out tree, shrubs and vines about their homes and upon our highways and public places. The exercises in our public schools upon that day should be of a character that will impress upon the minds of our youth the material benefits derived from its observance. By precept and example our teachers should lead in a ork that wlll not only its reward to them, but remain as an incenve for future genorations to beautify and adorn our fair State, Our rapidly diminishing forests and the increased demand for shade and ornamental trees has caused the organization of "Foresty Associations" whose purpose is to preserve the forests and edĂșcate the people in the science of forestry. These organizations deservo encouragement and it is to be hoped that their numbors vvill multiply. This occasion is taken to urge the preservation of the shade trees which now stand along our country roads. They may damage the grovring erop slightly but in beauty, shade, and protection from the winds. they repay the damage they do many times over. Governor.
