Tree planting wide spread among Nebraska farmers this spring
The Sidney Telegraph notes farmers across many counties are planting ornamental trees to beautify farms and encourage staying on the land. Russian olives, western yellow pine, jack pine, and Chinese elm are among varieties shipped to various state areas.

The piece frames postwar unity, ongoing timber policy, and the peace conference’s progress as a hopeful future for American prosperity and international cooperation.
