Let's Revive Albor Day, Urges Chin.
By Mrs. Marvin Roten,
Arbor Day Chairman of
The Rusk Garden Club
In 1872 Secretary of agri-
culture, Julius Sterling Mor
ton, founded Arbor Day. This
was In Nebraska and the day
was April 10.
Today every state except
Alaska recognizes Arbor Day.
Fither the stale legislature
sets aside a special day for an
Arbor Dary observance, or
the event is designated by
Governor's proclamation, or
by the State Department of
Education. Due to the great
variation in climatic condi-
tions throughout the 50States,
a uniform date for all states
is not practical. Many states
have selected the last Friday
In April. Others have set
dates earlier in the spring.
Some Southern States have
even selected fall or winter
dates. Hawaii observes a
( day in November. While not
•'listed a-- a national legal holi-
day, Arbor Day is national
In scope.
The Texas Legislature, at
the 1949 session designated
the third Friday in January
as Arbor Day in Texa^. The
action was taken through the
efforts of Mrs. W. C. Wind-
sor who pointed out to the
legislators that the later date
usually celebrated is too late
for satisfactory planting re-
sults in Texas (Mrs. Win lsor
was President of Texas Gar-
den Clubs, Inc.X Arbor Day
for 1968 is January 19. Many
people are thinking about
people are thinking about
trees to plant, for hade,
fruit and flowers.
A two-year-old tree, or one
of medium size is best to
plant; it will grow easier than
a larger tree and often bears
fruit about the same time.
Trees need sun, good
drainage and ventilation.
Place in groups of one for a
focal point. Do not use fert-
ilizer the first year.
When planting flowering or
other trees in groups, keep
them limited to one variety.;
They are more striking CWP*
Interesting.
Just to mention a few for
this part of Texas: Magnolia
ftjlant in spring only \ Cherry -
laura I, Pin Oak, ChineseTal-
low. Rain Tree, Fig, Dog-
wood-White and pink, Big leaf
Holly, Crepe Myrtle, Py-
racantha, Red Cedar, and
Yew. Shade trees are the
most permanent feature of
your "outdoor architecture".
Trees will fulfill all ex-
pectation and more. Beauty
is part of everyday living.
"If you and I each plant a
tree, someday when they grow
up there'll be a wealth of beau-
ty, wood and shade, and while
we may not be repaid direct-
ly for what we have done,
as they seek refuge from the
sun, bird, beast and man will
bless the name of us who
planted, and while fame may
not come to us for our deeds,
we will provide for others
needs." Julien C. Hyer.
