J92~. f ,r United States of America, do hereby designate and set aside as ~:\lDg. and Arbor American Forest Week the week beginning April 22 and ending April 28, in this year of 1928.

I urge that during that week all citizens and appropriate organizations-including public officials, legislators, business organ- izations, educators, editors, clergymen, landowners, and others-give thought to the preservation and wise use of our forests, to the end that energetic forest policies will be adopted in all communities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereu'llto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
