IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Voi, XXIX, 1922 
lations No. 37, which should not be abrogated but enforced to 
the letter. 
Historic T rees 
We urge the keeping of unique, large and old trees of Iowa 
for scientific and historic purposes; we urge that some of these 
giants of the forest be used to memorialize important events in 
the history of the state and to perpetuate the memories of those 
who served in the late or previous wars. We would commend 
the action of our governor in issuing a proclamation for planting 
trees on Arbor Day and hope this custom may be continued in 
the state. 
Flowers 
Your committee feels that it is important to conserve our na- 
tive wild flowers ; that the state parks of Iowa shall be sanctuaries 
not only of wild animal life, but the wild flowers, trees and 
shrubs as well. The committee would like to go a step further 
and recommend to the citizens of Iowa that they refrain from 
the picking of wild flowers, especially the rarer species like the 
bluebell, wind and pasque flowers, columbine, moccasin flower, 
mandrake and many others. We would like to suggest that every 
community in Iowa do a little missionary work in trying to save 
the wild flowers. In order that the question may be brought 
nearer home, we would suggest that we have a day set aside as 
a state flower day. 
Iowa Conservation Association and Federated Women's Clubs of 
Iowa and Wild Life School 
We wish to commend the work of the Iowa Conservation Asso- 
ciation for its activity in connection with conservation and the 
great work of the Federated Women’s Clubs of Iowa in behalf 
of conservation. We are glad to note the progress of the School 
of Wild Life at McGregor, Iowa. These organizations reach a 
large number of the people of the state, and the conservation move- 
ment is greatly helped.
