Maryland's State>owned Timber Land

been purchased which it has been
necessary to reforest, loblolly pine be-
ing the tree commonly used. Hard
wood trees are in the majority in the
western part of the State, although
red anu white pine are being planted.
On the Eastern Shore and in central
Maryland the State owns but few
acres of timber land, since in these
sections farming is still reasonably
profitable. There is so much wholly
waste land in Southern and Western
Maryland, explains Mr.. Besley, that it
is not necessary to purchase farming
land for forest purposes.
Trees set out in the State forests
usually are but eight to fifteen inches
in height when planted; this growth
normally takes place in one growing
season. To develop the timber type
of trees the seedlings are planted
quite close together; usually six by
six feet apart. Planted in this man.
ner there are about 1900 trees to the
acre, but by the time the trees are
35 years old, with proper thinning
the number is reduced to about 400.
This seeming heavy mortality is
necessary for developing tall, straight
trees, free of lower branches, since
their early proximity forces them to
grow straight and rapidly in order to
obtain a maximum amount of sun
light. In the thinning process, after
about twenty years, much of the tim
Der can be disposed of profitably,
amounting to what often is called the
crop.
In addition to caring for its own
land the Forestry Department main
tains an advisory service for persons
wishing to plant trees. Varieties are
selected according to the section of
the State and the nature of the soil, as
we'll as the purpose for which they are
intended. Throughout the State, in
addition to it's forests, the Forestry
Department has smaller demonstra-
ton areas where nearby farmers may
see forestry work carried out. Out
side of these demonstration lots the
State ordinarily does not purchase
land in less than 5,000-acre tracts for
forestation purposes.
Besides the forestry staff, which
has it's headquarters in Baltimore,
district foresters' offices are main
tanned at Cumberland, Laurel and
Salisbury. Resident forest wardens
on each of the large State tracts, are
in charge of the forests.
The forestry Department has hopes
of eventually owning 100000 acres OF
timber land within Maryland. AL
though this is matter to be left to
the action of future General Assemb-
lies, it is not considered impossible
that it will be attained, since larger
States already have purchased pro-
portionately large areas.
In New York at present, within the
large area designated as Adirondack
Park, the State owns 100000 acres.
In total area the Adirondack Park is
the largest in the country, containing
some 4,6O4,OO0 acres yellowstone
Park has 1892, 64O). By comparison
of the State holdings in Adirondack
Park with the total it may be noted
that the larger part still is privately
owned-in fact, it includes sizeable

of ways which probably in themselves
justify the purchases. Timber hold
ings along water courses have def
mite place in the plans for city water
supplies: the trees planted around
Loeb Raven by the City of Baltimore
provide a good local example of this
work. Tricky planted trees over a
period of years, form deep soft car
pet of leaves or needles on the ground,
as well as loosening the soil to con-
siderable depth through the action of
their roots. This makes the ground
much more absorbent, which in turn
assures that much of the rainfall will
soak into it instead of running off, in
times of freshets, over the crest of
the dam and into the bay. Balti-
moreans were acquainted with the i'm
portance of the ground supply of
water last summer, when water
mysteriously continued to flow into
Loeb Raven, although no appreciable
amount of rain had fallen for some
time.
Furthermore, the trees prevent err
osion and the washing of large
amounts of silt into the streams. The
latter factor is important in such a
body as Loeb Raven, where the silt
gradually would collect near the dam,
probably making necessary dredging
operations after a time. Much of the
States forest land is located along
water courses, such as that along the
Patapsco, which may be an impor-
tant water supply factor in future
years.
Another indirect return which the
State derives from its forests lies in
the fact that they are open to visitors
and campers. Many persons are TAX
ing advantage of this condition in the
nearby Patapsco forest and an in
creasing number are expected to camp
in Western Maryland, where summer
conditions are scarcely improved upon
in any region. All this land is avail
able to campers free of charge, pro-
viding they comply with restrictions
as to fire and property damage. The
State forests, except the Patapsco
also are open to licensed hunters in
season, tending to remedy situation
for which some States have been criti-
cized; the requiring of licenses for
hunting without providing place to
hunt, since many private property
owners refuse to allow hunting on
their land.
Often the State has been able to
purchase land already devoted, in
whole or in part, to timber; here the
work of reforestation has consisted
chiefly of allowing nature to take its
course, with thinning operations con-
shutting practically all the attention
demanded. This situation holds for
most of the timber in Western Mary
land, which is natural timber land
-' -.
and ordinarily requires but a mini
mum of planting operations. When
waste spaces are acquired along with
timber, of course, the waste spaces
are planted.
In the southern part of the State,
however, abandoned farm land has

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-03

It all depends on just how far Loughran has slipped since the days when he was kingpin of the 175. pounders, if. after some 12 years of campaigning, he still has enough strength to travel ten fairly fast rounds. he should give the coast youngster a postgraduate course tn boxing. As long as his legs and wind 4ast Tommy, with. his profound ring savvy, is certain to cause the wfde- open, wild-swinging Baer embar- rassment a-plenty. Four years ago Baer couldn't have hit Loughran with any thing less than a shotgun. Friday night he may not be ablesto hit him with d right and in that case it's liable to be Loughran all the way.
 Who Can Tell?
 The exact extent to which Lough- ran has slipped is not known, for the Philadelphian has not shown here since that evening when Sharkey knocked him out with a re- sounding clout on the temple.
 This temple blow, by the way, is being carefully rehearsed by Baer at his training camp in Orangeburg. All his sparring mates have adhesive tape crosses pasted on their helmets above the temple and Max whiles away the weary hours raking these crosses fore and aft with rights and lefts.
 Heady Stun.
 The Gardens Orangeburg press agent was greatly impressed with Baer's decision to adopt Sharkey's blow and his latest dispatch charm ingly describes what he terms the 'cerebrum punch."
 "A newspaperman interviewing Max last week." the dispatch reads, ''told him of Sharkey's blow and spoke of the cerebrum and cerebel- lum. At first Baer thought the scribe vas talking of a new radio term. That he possessed such things as cerebrums and .cerebellums was news to Max and other people about the camp.'
 "Baer will not flash the cerebrum clout until after his usually success full blow to the chin has failed. How ever. he is seriously educating his right mitt for the brain-scrambler."
