PLANTING TREES A PATRIOTIC DUTY.
Not less interesting and pertinent is the address of Dr. J. T. Rothrock, State commissioner of forestry of Pennsylvania, to the public schools of Lancaster on Arbor Day of last year: Less than three. Centuries ago, in the providence of God, our ancestors fell heirs to a laud which was not only well watered and fertile, but well wooded. It is fair to say that on the eastern slope of the continent there was no second area equal in size to Pennsylvania which posses
...sed resources so varied and that bid fair to last so long. So rich was our inheritance that we felt we could never come to want or see the end of our resources. American extravagance has become a byword among other nations, and Pennsylvania is in no respect behind others in the sisterhood of States.
But already practically 75 per cent of our State is destitute of real forest growth, and to meet the wants of a rapidly increasing population we are now importing lumber. Not only this, but from about an eighth of the land which we have cleared we have so exhausted the fertility that it can no longer be made remunerative in agriculture.
