This was done and the National Park magazine used the matter practically complete in describing the monument several years later. Will M. Maupin, the editor of the Midwest, at Gering, has been designated custodian, and the public are taking a natural pride. Winfield Evans and Robert F. Neeley are proposing the setting aside of a day, and a call for volunteers for tree planting, then get trees by the thousand from the National Forest at Halsey, Nebraska, and put in a day in foresting the monument. There are thousands of trees already upon the historic landmark varying in height from a foot to fifty feet or more. But there are many acres that are barren of trees and all they need is a chance to grow.

The; Country Club

At the foot of the National Monument of Scottsbluff the people of the county have a "Country Club," Here they have a neat and commodious club house, and golf links, and all that goes with a first class country club. During the summer season there is a custodian in charge, and the people from one end of the valley to the other, join in the sport and entertainment common and general at such places.

Experiments and Orcharding

Probably dozens in the county have sought to increase forage and hay crops by the introduction of vetches and other plants. The editor has tried a number, including the shipping of quack grass sod from Minnesota and Johnson grass sod from Arkansas. Neither has proven a success.
