May J. according to a proclamation issued by Governor I'.ber- 

 liart, has been set aside for Arbor Day this year. Arbor Day is 

 the one day of the year given over, in all parts of the state, to the 

 [''.anting of trees. The date this year is two weeks later than 

 usual, and it is hoped that, especially in the northern part of the 

 state, inhere the opening of the season is later than in the south- 

 ern part, a more general observation mill be secured by the shift- 

 ing of the date. 



Trees insure a companionship which is deep, lasting and visible, 

 and every citizen of the state is urged to aid, in some manner, in 

 saving to Minnesota, her trees, which have played such a great 

 part in her history.
