invalids and hot, tired people after a hard day's work. 



Trees should be planted in Minnesota to increase 

 the population as people do not want to go to a 

 country which is cold, which has no trees for pro- 

 tection. If Minnesota is kept beautiful by trees it 

 will draw a greater number of people to live here. 



There are not nearly so many large pine and beau- 

 tiful trees as there used to be and we are partly the 

 cause of this destruction as we have been careless in 

 not replanting those we have destroyed. 



We are not the ones to suffer for this destruction 

 but our posterity will suffer greatly if we destroy 

 the good timber and leave the stumps and brush for 

 them to remove. 



Our forefathers have left us a free government, 

 freedom of worship and all our liberty. We may not 

 be able to leave that much for our posterity but we 

 can leave trees for protection and for beauty and 

 grandeur to our posterity. 



Our forefathers worked hard to obtain what they 

 have left for us, we should work hard to obtain forests 

 for the coming generation.
