Much data OF general interest ana OF
considerable value to foresters has been
collected as result of big-tree contest

etc Association. Several hundred pho
tographs and descriptions oflarge and un-

number of exceptional specimens OF
certain species have been discovered.
The contest embraced search Tor the
largest nut bearing and mountaineering
trees in this country, excluding the gigan-
tic Sequoias of the Pacific coast, which
for size surpass all other trees in the
world. The results OF the contests and
pictures of the prize-winning trees are
published in the March Popular Mechanics

ciduous tree now growing in the Unlted
States is a sycamore near Worthington,
Ind, which at 5 #. from The ground
measures AZ #. 3 in. in circumference.
It's height is approximately 80 feet. Ac-
cording to local claims this remarkable
specimen is inferior TO one long since
