PENNSYLVANIA PLANTS MEMO- 

 RIAL TREES 



A LL of the men and women in Pennsyl- 

 vania who served in the World War 

 will have trees dedicated to them at Arbor 

 Day exercises in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh 

 and Philadelphia. A tree will be planted 

 in their honor in each of these cities. Gov- 

 ernor Sproul will plant a tree in the Capi- 

 tol Park; Mayor Moore will preside at 

 exercises at Independence Square, and 

 Mayor Babcock will do likewise in Pitts- 

 burgh. 



Arrangements for the dedication exer- 

 cises have been made by Governor Sproul 

 and Gifford Pinchot, the State's Chief For- 

 ester. The Department of Forestry will 

 supply the trees, American elms, from its 

 nursery in Tioga county. Soil from every 

 county in the State, collected by the va- 

 rious District Foresters, will be placed 

 about the roots of each tree. 



BROOKINGS MANAGER OF NATUR- 

 AL RESOURCES DEPARTMENT 

 '"PHE Chamber of Commerce of the 

 United States has established a De- 

 partment of Natural Resources Production, 

 with W. D. Brookings as manager. The 

 Department will comprise one of the eight 

 departments into which the work of the 

 Chamber has been divided in order to 

 serve its large membership to the best ad- 

 vantage. 



Mr. Brookings has had a wide experi- 

 ence in forestry and lumbering, having 

 been in the lumber manufacturing business 

 in California for a number of years as well 

 as being connected with retail distribution 

 in the southern part of the state. At the 

 time of the war Mr. Brookings joined the 

 forestry regiment and took a company of 

 the Twentieth Engineers to France in 1917. 

 During his service in France he was pro- 

 moted to the rank of major and trans- 

 ferred to the Landes, near the Pyrenees, 

 in charge of the First Battalion, operating 

 five sawmills. During the past two years 

 he has been making an exhaustive study 

 of forest resources, and in the course ot 

 his investigations has traveled throughout 

 the United States and British Columbia. 

 Mr. Brookings thus comes to his work 

 with the Chamber especially qualified to 

 accomplish much in a constructive way in 

 the development of his Department.

 not Western Red Cedar.

The Right Tree in the Right Place 



The rigtit tree means a specimen which has been grown under the scientific care of a 

 reliable nursery. Trees thus grown are strong and straight, and so well nourished that the 

 usual setbacks of transplanting are minimized to the last degree. The right place is of nearly 

 equal importance. Soil conditions should be considered as well as the natural harmony of its 

 surroundings. Amawalk trees are dug and shipped with exacting care, and we are ready at 

 all times to furnish any information at our command concerning silviculture. Our catalogue, 

 which we will be glad to send you, has considerable information devoted to this subject. 



Austrian Pines 11 to 16 feet.
