After careful weighing the exidence it seems to be the censensus of opin ion ot the members of these classes, that the citizens of today have per nutted the vigorous community spirit of the founders of Nephi to suffer a great relapse and that the average citizen now, is not showing the same zeal and enthusiasm fo rmaking the iittlo home town on the banks of Salt Creek the finest and best kept city In the State. The pioneer founders laid out this city on a splendid scale with wide. straight streets and comfortable sidewalks, and despite their struggles in breaking up the wilderness, fighting Indians and building a twelve foot wall around a sixty acre tract, they found time to plant trees around th'iir homes and along every impu.t-an- t street and walk. y we seem to have lost the tree planting habit and on every street we see dead, dying, and deer ylng trees. No one thing Is a more g'aring evidence of community decay than dead and decaying trees. Nor is it sufficient that such trees be removed the vacant, shadeless spaces ou our sidewalks are shining testimony that we are not, retaining thj iieal of our fathers and mothers if nipking Nephi a city beautiful. Trees ire the first great requisite in beautifying any these thoughts in mind, the mombers of the Mutual Improvement Association have decided to "start are ball rolling" by adopting, so to speak, one of our principal streets and persuading every property owner along the length of it to plant shade trees on his part of the street. A strong effort will be made to secure the planting of one variety of tree. The street decided upon for inaugurating this campaign of tree planting is Center Street. Arbor Day will soon be here and an effort is being made to get some trees planted on this street on that day. It is also the ardent wish of the com mittees that every property cwsjt is.

Good results can not be had without strict regard for these three points.

Using the dormant spray makes possible the application of a stronger solution as there Is no leaf structure or buds to burn and if thoroughly clone will reach all parts of the tree. It effectively controls San Jose and other scales.
