Park in order that this may be ade- 

 quately protected and placed upon the 

 same basis as other national parks. 



RESOLVED, That this Congress 

 urges tree-planting and the preserva- 

 tion of shade trees along public high- 

 ways throughout America. 



RESpLVED, That we approve the 

 suggestion that a tree be planted at 

 Mount Vernon to commemorate the 

 American Forest Congress, and that 

 funds for this purpose be collected 

 through Forestry and Irrigation. 



RESOLVED, That as Oklahoma 

 would immeasurably profit by in- 

 creased land valuation resulting from 

 greater crop capacity as the outgrowth 

 of wind reduction ; therefore, the terri- 

 tory should be empowered to offer 



school land occupants a reasonable 

 realty tax reduction during a stipu- 

 lated growing period of tree wind- 

 breaks ; Provided, that the department 

 of government under which the na- 

 tion's forestry interests are managed 

 shall outline, control, and perfect, in 

 all particulars, determining how and to 

 which lands the provisions shall ap- 

 ply, except that purchasers at the time 

 of sale have option as to acceptance of 

 these terms. 



RESOLVED, That it is the sense of 

 this Congress that the National Home- 

 stead Law should be amended so as to 

 require the planting of at least 5 per 

 cent of the area of a homestead before 

 final title be acquired, and that the tree 

 planting be under the supervision of 

 the Bureau of Forestry.
