PRIZE TREE CONTEST
Has Been Extended to July goth
by State Forestry Association

The tree contest, scheduled to close
on July /, IS now going on strong and
entries are coming in so rapidly that
The Maryland Forestry Association
has decided to keep the contest open
until July 20.
So far the white oaks seem to pre-
dominate, followed by several other
species of oak, tulip poplar, elm, and
some 25 other species represented by
one or more trees. From the entries
received, it appears that many people
think that the tree has to be exceed
ingly large to be worthy of record.
Under the terms of the contest, the
trees are divided into groups accord
ing to their normal size, so that a
large tree of small species, such as
dogwood, holly, persimmon, and the
like, have just as good a chance for
winning prizes as the larger trees Of
the larger species, such as oak, elm,
and tulip poplar To date, there have
been no entries for persimmon, cherry
and dogwood, and but one pine. Three
counties in the State-Caroline, Cecil
and Worcester are without entries,
while Calvert, Montgomery, St.
Mary's, and Wicomico have but one
each to date, June 9th. Frederick
county has the largest number of en-
tries with 16, pressed closely by Har-
ford with Is.
The time is short and every COM
munity should get its distinguished
trees in the list of entries. Remember
that it does not have to be tremen-
dously big tree to merit recognition.
If it is only large tree for its kind,
it has an equal chance in the distri-
button of prizes.

Service.

The gradual extension of labora-
tory facilities to every part of Mary
land by the State Department of
Health makes it possible, now, for
every doctor in the State to have
laboratory aid in his treatment of the
cases that come under his care. Over
5000 analyses and tests have been
made each month, or a total Of more
than 10000 in the last six months, by
the State Bureau of Bachteriology at
the central laboratory in Baltimore
and the branch laboratories.
Over $500 examinations made in
connection with the detection and the
treatment Of diphtheria led the rest
so far as numbers were concerned.
These included not only tests to prove
the presence of the disease, but fol-
low-up analyses to show when the
convalescent patient could safely min
gle again with other people; and also
tests for the presence of carriers"
Tests for typhoid, tuberculosis, ma
laria, veneral diseases and miscella-
neous examinations of various sorts
were also included in the total.
Specially designed containers are
supplied to physicians so that the
specimens to be examined can be ship
ped safely by messenger or through
the mails. Reports of examinations
are returned to the physicians either
by mail or in urgent cases by long
distance telephone messages.
The central laboratory forms part
of the State health ''plant" at the CEN
tral office of the State Department of
Health in Baltimore. The branch lab
oratories are scattered in such way
that every part of the State is read
lily covered by them. The counties
along the northern border are served
by the branch laboratories at Cum
berland, Hagerstown and Frederick;
the Eastern Shore counties by the
branch at Hurlock; those bordering
on Washington and those in Southern
Maryland by the branch recently op-
ened at the Hygienic Laboratory in
Washington. No charge is made to
physicians by the department for ser
vices rendered by either the central
or any of the branch laboratories.
