ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION
Gov. Stuart Speaks of Importance of
Conserving National Resources.
Governor Stuart of Pennsylvania,
has issued his arbor day proclama
tion, designating April 8th and 22d
as tho days. Tho proclamation snys;
" The conservntlon of our resources
tins become a question of national
Importnnce. Among these resources,
trees nnd forests hold a conspicuous
place. It is the common belief that
forests regulate tho flow of water In
streams. Tho destruction of our
forests lias intensified tho floods and
freshets that rob the soil of Its fer
tility, closing tho navlgablo rivers
and harbors. On the other hand ho.
who plants a tree or protects it from
lire and other cnomlcB, helps to make
his state a better dwelling plnco nnd
mnkes a substnutial gift to future
generations.
" Wise leglslntlvo enactment made
it the duty of tho commonwealth's
chief executive to name ln each year
one or more days for tho planting of
trees and tho dissemination of use
ful information In regard to tho
growth and economic value.
"Therefore, I, Edwin S. Stuart,
Governor of tho Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, do hereby Ibsuo this,
my proclamation, designating Fri
day, Apr. 8th, and Friday, Apr. 22,
ns Arbor Days throughout tho com
monwealth to bo observed by tho
planting of trees and by othor exor
cises that may bo helpful In direct
ing tho attention of tho people to
tho importance of conserving and re
storing tho forests upon tho water
sheds, and of planting trees nround
their homes, upon tho hillsides and
ln tho public parks.
"Two dates havo been designated
so that every section of tho state may
find a day for trco planting suited to
its climatic conditions."

Juice was used by tho Indians to

"There woro other drawbacks to

"I kept at It for threo weeks.
Then I asked for my nccount and

EASTER'S DATE.
, '
Somo DivertiiiK Incidents of the Grout
Church Controversy.
"Tho festival of Easter is to be eel-
ebrated on the Sunday following the
lirst full moon after the beginning of
spring."
Therefore if tho moon becomes
full upon the day on which spring
begins the Sunday after the next full
moon is of course indicated by tho
directions of the council as Easter
day. And if the moon becomes full
on a Sunday the next Sunday similar-
ly must bo Easter day.
The history of this controversy re-
specting the date of Easter, which tho
Nicaean council happily settled, in-
eludes a number of diverting anec-
dotes based upon tho disinclination
of different people to accept even the
council's rulings.
A story Is told of a European of
prominence who celebrated Easter
every year on tho very same day on
which his wife celebrated Palm Sun
day. Another story is told of a de
vout old couple in Germany who re
fused to abide by a now'church decree
relative to Easter. The decree alter-
ed the date, and on the day on which
they had always attended tho Easter ties known to be shy pollenizers when
services tho old people walked from , used as pollenizers, have given ex
thelr homo to the church. They ! cellont results.
found the church closed and no Las -
ter service In progress. Tho old gen
tleman beat upon the door with his
stout stick and demanded admittance
and when there was no response from
the uninhabited church the olu people
retraced their steps to celebrate
Easter at homo.
Ulusliiiif; u Slim of Sense.
Sir Arthur Mitchell. K. C. B., of
Edinburgh, who knows much that Is
strange about dreams, laughter and
ofer commonplace human charac
teristics, lias Just advanced, the con
soling theory that blushing is an
achievement of which every ono who
can blush should hp proud,
Ho says lt requires brains to
blush. Idiots ciiu.ot blush, neither
can animals. Sir Arthur calls atten
tion to tho fact that tiny Infants do
not blush, although tbey learn to nt
an early age, Just as toon, In b.ct, as
the brain begins to exorcise Its func
tions. In blushing, ho nays, the mind
always must bt affertod. It is al
ways and only a bodily expression
of niqiitnl state. It is a natural
thing for a blLsher4o say that ho
had tried not to blush. No Individu
al blushes of his own free will. The
blush arises without call Instantane
ously and vanishes almost as quickly.
Neither for its coming nor Its going
is thoro any oxerclse of volition. It
is controlled, Sir Arthur ays, sololy
by tho brain, and la a positive sign
that thoro Is an active brain there.
Brief and to tho Point.
There is no superfluous vorblago
in tho note which a tradesman sont
to a dilatory creditor: "Sir, the in
closed is a bill. If you pay it, you
will obllgo mo. If you don't, 1 shall
oblige you."

Now I want to say to those that
have worked up to the Idea of
planting orchards, "Good for you."
If there Is anything meritorious hqre,
it Is tho same there. You should
push "home Industry," not let the
Pacific people here say that "you will
always be glad to buy these apples at
sucn ngures
for I think there are
as smnrt a people there as here, only
tho Pacific people have got ahead of
you in learning and understanding
the apple.
Now your late move is a splendid
move that shows that you will not be
set down as a lot of back-woodsmen
that cannot learn the apple culture.
I am deeply interested in Pennsylva
nia getting ahead in the apple ques
tion. I noticed the item from the
gentleman from Waymart, saying
that your section was n grassy coun
try. Now in most cases here, except
on a sandy loam, river bottom, a crop
is planted to be plowed under, clover
being best, and it is not any different
in Wayne county than in Oregon, as
it is the way you care for-your trees
and apples after bearing.
I once supposed when living there
that apples generally bore every oth
er year. Now you can control your
trees, so that they will bear each
year, all they ought to bear. I have
not time, and do not know as the edl-
tor will allow me space to go through
H all In fact u is uko ueglnnlng
wUh tbe Ai,)liabetl and going through
y0ur common branches at school, If
you follow the apple from the nur-
sery until It Is aboard the car. But a
very essential thing Is tho polleniza-
tion of the apple, and you must,
among other things understand the
pollenizatlon of the apple. You
should plant the pollenlzer with the
non-pollenizer. But you ask how
shall we know the pollenizers from
J the non-pollenlzers. I will tell you
, thnt if you will bear with me, that
i experiments here have demonstrated
the fact beyond a question that cross
j nollenizing Is essential ln the ma-
jority of cases if a crop is insured.
jn determining this the pollenl-
zer of any variety lt Is essential

In selecting a good pollenlzer. Its
pollen producing qualities should bo
taken into consideration as well as
the market value of the apple. A
good pollenlzer should produce nn
nbundnnco of pollen, but there are
excentlons to this rule for somo varie-

of apples, 50 pounds Including box;
while the Ben pavis only weighs
