City park's 80 year shade fades as palm leaves town
A Phoenix block once occupied by a city park with cottonwoods and shade trees was cleared to make way for the Central Fire Station. Pioneers like J. D. Monihon planted the trees. Over decades, commerce and new buildings replaced the park, leaving only a solitary palm. Arbor Day observances in 1950 were spurred by a local PR effort amid a broader push to replant shade trees.

About 142000 acres must be idled or switched from short to long-staple under the 1950 plan, with Arizona’s crop historically noncompetitive against short-staple. The bureau also backs a state censorship board, a two-term president, lending staff to local fairs, and aid for Mesa bureau parade float.
