The following is an extract of the proclamation: Whereas, By a Concurrent Resolution of the General Assembly of the Com | monwealth of Pennsylvania, approved | the 30th day of March, 1887, the Govern- or of the Commonwealth was requested to appoint annually a day to be designa- ted as Arbor Day in Pennsylvania, and to recommend by proclamation to the people on the days named the planting of trees and shrubbery in the public school grounds and along the public highways throughout the State; and Whereas, The observance of Arbor Day heretofore has been found to be productive of much practical good; there- fore I, James A. Beaver, Governor of Com- monwealth, haveappoioted and designa- ted, and do hereby appoint and desig- nate Friday, the 27th day of April, to be observed as Arbor Day throughoot the Commonwealth, Not only shonld tiees and shrubbery be planted in the public school grounds and along the public highways, but increased attention ehould be given to the planting of trees wher- ever they can be properly cultivated, Thousands of acres of farm lands other- wise unproductive can be turned to prof- itable account, by the caltivation of tim- ber, nut, and fruit beariog trees, The subject should receive the careful and | considerate attention of all who are io- terested in the prosperity of the Com- monwealth, and in a remunerative res turn for money invested in and the la- bor expended on their lands. The ob- | servance of the day shouid not be confin ed to literary exercises in, and tree- planting by, our public scho It is a subject which demands sad should re- ceive the thonghtiul attestion and care ful consideration of ail our people The general observance of the day should re- sult in the planting of large numbers of trees, not only for shade and ornament, but for practical uses and profitable re- turn in the future. The incidental ad- vantages which will result to the commu- nity are great and varied The necessity for increased attention to the general subject of forestry is becoming more and more apparent. There should be not only an iucreased attention to dis- semination of knowledge upon the sub- ject, bul a greal increase in the nomber { of trees actually planted. If the grounds | sorrounding our school houses are filied with trees and shrobs, let scholars | secure permission the owners of ands along the highways to plant trees in sch a way as Lo protected from jury, and at the same time afford bean- | ty and shade to the passer-by, Pareuts and childden, and citizens gen- erally, are recommended to join in the observance of this day, and 10 seek op- portunities and aveanes for extending its influence and beneficent results.
