"The author. Jane Hunter, war
born in a two-room tenant- Ifoust
on Woodhurn farm, near Pendle.ton,
Anderson county, South Carolina.
Her parents were sharecroppers,
tenant farmers, field
hands; herself a field hand, stripping
fodder, working in the cotton
field and corn, and more than
often sleeping on a bare .floor \vith
nothing but a rpiilt to cover her.
"Her father, a field laborer born
in slavery and half-white^was the
sen i.f an Knglish overseer and a
full blooded N'ecro woman. He)
mother's parents were also tenant
farmers, share croppers and
field .hands, in slavery and .out,
and the firSt ex-slaves in the dis

early life was often one of hard

she set hi 4 elf the task of provul

'With singular insight she turn- Q

They toll mo that a honeybee

it dies after doing so. Tht t's bad,

not.
Why did Nature provide such
penalty for such a useful little
feature as a honeybee? Why
hould such a busy, hard-working
oneybee pay such a price for just

I don't know.
There* t re, however, a lesson wc

Nebraska was, throughout ai
io.;t its entire lor.rth and breadth
irtually a treeless plain and even
hough the lack of trees had been
ecognized is a serious draw-back
>>r many years, efforts to remedy
Ive situation had been meagre.
Iowever, Nebraska's first obser
ance of Arbor Day on April 10
872 was enthusiastically carried
tit and over a million trees were
danted on that day. Nebraska's
ecu! for tree's* was to supply* m'iU*h
iceded farm timber, to provide
ntidbreaks to pxpleci crops, stock
nd homes from hot winds in sumner
and cold- ones in -winter, to
