former Agriculture Major
IE rids Up Teaching By Mail
Forty years ago when William
Remviek White enrolled in the
course in agriculture at the Col
lege, he thought he was preparing
for a career as a farmer.
iNow retired, he looks back on
hlis “farming years” and sees the
fruits of his toil, not in bushels of
grain, or in acres of fertile farm
land, but in the progress of farm
ers throughout the State and the
East, the men he had helped train
for the last generations.
White, professor in charge of
correspondence courses, entered
that work in 1907. Since that time
the number of reports returned
annually 'by enrolled students in
creased from 824 to 24,775 in

College Expert Urges
Tree Planting Program
A College expert urged counties
and municipalities to plant large
tracts of forest land as “living me-i
morials” to World War II dead.
Victor Beede, head of the fores
try department, commended the
Pennsylvania Forestry Associa
tion for its tree planting program,
and proposed forest tracts and
parks t othose organizations finan
cially able to establish larger me
morials.
For individuals who wish to
plant a single tree in memory of
a lost husband, father or son, the
College forester suggested the
plantingbe done on April 9, which
is Arbor Day.-
Beede praised trees and forests
as war memorials because of their
symbolic beauty, and their worthy
contributions .to the recreational
and educational facilities of fu
ture generations. He pointed out
that plaques listing the names of
the war dead can be erected on
the site.
