B. Miller, chief forester, Department of Conservation, is preparing to launch a movement for the planting of fifty million trees in the state. The campaign will start in a modest way, with a quota of one million trees being set for 1928. For 1929 this will be increased to ten million trees, as terest is awakened. For 1980 . the mark of twenty-five million trees will be set. Nursery AsuociatMn to Aid J. A. Young of Aurora, prominent in the activities of the Illinois Nursery association, in conference with Forester Miller on the plan has pledged the fullest co-operation of his organisation. Trees will be furnished practically at cost of raising in order to stimulate the movement. Mr. Young is nationally known as the originator of the "Plan to Plant Another Tree" movement which has resulted in many millions of trees being planted in all parts of the United States, and which movement has also been well received in foreign countries. Interest in the Illinois movement will have a six-fold object, as outlined by Forester Miller: , 1. Restoration of oTCfituds and berry patches. 4 2. Popularization of Landscape Art. 3. Reforestation. 4. Beautification of school grounds in Illinois. 5. Beautification of state highways 6. Planting Memorial trees. 42 Per Cent Once Forests With the arrival of the first settlers to Illinois this territory was forty-two per cent forest, the wooded sections embracing approximately 15,000,000 acres. At present there remains but 3,021,075 acres of timber in the state, or about one-fifth the original areji. To secure a proper reforestation Forester MSller will urge upon the farmers of the state to plant one acre to trees on each farm. A feature of the program having for its object the planting of 50,000,000 trees in the state which is expected to meet with especial favor is a suggestion to border the state highways with shade trees, giving to the state when the highways are completed approximately 10,000 miles of hard roads bordered with shade trees. The various communities will be urged to place these trees as memorials to those serving in the World War. William M. Carroll, Solicitor. State of Illinois, •' - McHenry County, ss.
