FAMOUS BIG TREES
AND WHERE FOUND
LARGEST OAK KNOWN is NEAR
STOCKTON, CAL.
Nearly Twice the SIZE of Chico Giant
Bears Ton of Nuts-lndiaaa's
I. Tall Sycamore.

The American Genetic association
has announced the award OF two
prizes OF s10O each tor the location Of
the largest nut bearing and non-nut-
bea trees In the country.
The largest nut bearing tree is Z
valley oak on The ranch of B. T. Cru
yer, San Benifo county California, n
the foothills OF The Sierre Nevada
mountains. This lordly tree measures
81 feet 6 inches in circumference. II
is near the city of Stockton, and the
natives, who declare that il produces
a ton Of acorns every year, take great
pride IN it.
It is expected that the discovery
OF the tree win be az once a surprise
and disappointment to the friends
Of the famous Hooker oak OF Chico,
Cal, named for the English Aolanist.
Sir Joseph Hooker, who in 1872, de
clared that, so far as encyclopedia
Knowledge went, it was the largest
oak in the world. Several persons
sent in photographs Of the Hooker
oak, which, however, is only q feet
inches in circumference, although
1t rises TO height of los feet.
The largest tree in the nonnut-bear
ing class of hardwoods disclosed by
the contest is sycamore, near
Worthington, Ind This tree is ia
feet high. after having had its height
considerably reduced by lightning and
wind II has spread of 100 feet and
its trunk l foot above the ground is
As feet 3 inches in circumference,
while its east branch measures p
feet inches around and its west
branch 20 feet 2 inches.
This Indiana tree is the largest
known tree in the eastern country L
does not compare of course, with the
giant redwoods OF California and
some other big conifers, none Of
which were entered in the contest
for that reason. Some of the giants
Of California measure more in diam
eter than the Hoosier sycamore in
circumference.
The Worthington sycamore grows
on the rich alluyial loan of White
river, stream which frequently over
flows its banks, deposting layers OF
silt. This is believed to be one. OF
the principal factors which have con
tributed to the remarkable growth of
this tree. Like most large sycamores,
the Worthington tree is hollow at il.

MUST CONSULT COUNCIL OF
 DEFENSE BEFORE BUILDING

To put stop at once to all building in tie country which is not absolute ly necessary at this time, the War De- partment Industries Board has decreed that government permits will be re- quired in the future for all construc- tion work, except in certain govern ment approved building projects.
 The board has asked the forry-eight State councils of defense and 5000 county councils of defense to act for it in passing on building proposals, the board reserving the right to reject building plans which defense councils may recommend. The procedure in limiting building construction worked out between the Council of National Defense and the War Industries Board is as follows:
 "Any person interested in a con- struction project must apply with a full statement of the facts, under oath, to the appropriate local representative of the various State councils of de- fense.
 This representative of the State council will investigate the necessity of the proposed construction and tran smit recommendations to the State council for review.
 "The State council will review the case, and if it decides iri favor of the construction it will at once send it's recommendation, with a full statement of all the facts, to the War Industries Board. The nonwar construction sec- tion will grant or withhold the per- init and so notify the State council of defense and the individual concerned.
 "If the State council decides against the proposed construction it will notify the person concerned that his project has been diapproved."
 The Arizona State Council of De- fense has appointed the following committee in each county to investi- gate all proposed construction, and all applications for construction permits should be made to them:
 Apache county. Stansell Greer and Herber Jarvis.
 Coconino county, Chas. T. Woolfolk and V. M. Slipher.
 Gila county, Patrick Rose and w. D.
