How I Am Watching The Trees 

 Tuesday afternoon as I was going through Washington 

 Street Park I noticed that the trees are in need of care very 

 much. They are being destroyed by insects, such as caterpillars 

 and worms. I knocked off very many of them with a stick and 

 stepped on them, but of course not enough to be of any help. It 

 looks very much as if they had no friends, and still they all say 

 they like trees. As for me I could sit under their shade all day 

 if I had them at my home. I hope all the girls and boys of the 

 Shade Tree Commission Club are watching the trees as I. If 

 so we shall soon have the insects destroyed. Then we shall have 

 our trees with bright green leaves, and a pleasure to sit under. 

 I hope this will receive quick attention, so that our trees will 

 be saved.

 Why I Am A Shade Tree Protector 

 Why I like to protect trees is to have our city "awave with 

 trees", and to let our city look beautiful. 



Why I am a Shade Tree Protector is to help the Shade Tree 

 Commissioners to take care of the trees. 



I protect the trees as if I were taking care of my sister. 

 I protect 15 trees and trying to protect more. I water these 

 15 trees 2 times a week and I have cultivated ten of them

What I Know About Trees 



Trees are the very first plants on the globe of the earth. We 

 could not have any fruit or rubber if it w T ere not for the tree.:, 

 they bring air, shade in front of our houses, and make it look 

 beautiful, and "we are banded together in their defence." The 

 trees are in front of our houses and also other parts must be 

 watered at least twice a week and cultivated once or twice a week 

 or they will die.
