BIG TREE CONTEST CON-
QUOTED in STATE
State Forester Declares Re.
turns Have Surpassed All
ExnocfatiOnS

Expectations
Surprising results have come
from a contest conducted sew
eral years ago by the Maryland
Forestry Association to discov-
err and record the largest and
most noted trees of the State,
according to F. w. Besley,
State Forester. During the
time of the contest more than
five hundred trees have been
entered and it has been the
means of finding number of
fine old trees that might other
wise have gone unnoticed.
Certainly, according to Mr..
Besley, it has stimulated new
interest in the value, care and
protection of trees.
The Forestry Department
has undertaken to measure Of
ficially and photograph all of
the tree entries which seemed
to be particularly outstanding.
AS a result the Department has
large quantity of highly val
liable data on the more i'm
portant trees of the State and
it is planned, after the survey
is reasonably complete to pub
fish the information in book
form. Mr.. Besley states that
it was we'll known that Mary
land abounded in fine. tree
specimens but after the con-
.est was started even the mem
oers of the Foestry Department
we're surprised at the results
obtained and information sent
in. Mr.. Besley points out it is
doubtful if there is another
area of equal size in the United
States where there is a larger
variety of tree species than are
20 be found in Maryland.
There are 157 different varie-
ties of native trees, accepting
he definition of a tree as hav-
ing single wooded stem fif-
teen feet or more in height.
This excludes all the shrubs.
In conducting the forest tree
contest, certain rules were laid
1own to insure uniformity of
measurement and direct COM
pari S s. Three measure
ments were taken for each
tree; first, the circumference
OF the trunk at Az feet from
the ground, second, the great
est diameter of spread of the
branches, third, the height of
the tree. The circumference
OF the tree in inches added to
the spread of the crown in
feet, constituted the unit meas
urement of the tree. The cir
conference of the trunk was
taken at AZ feet from the
ground in order to get above
any Irregularities frequently
found near the base of a tree.
BY combining all of the three
measurements a fair estimate
OF the size of the tree can be
obtained.
For example, the Wye Oak,
which is rated as the largest
white oak in the State, meas
ures fifty feet in circumference
at one foot from the ground
due to abnormal butlressed
roots near the base, while the
circumference at Az feet |
above the gound is 81 feet eight !
inches. There are many other
white oaks in the State much /
taller than the Wye Oak but it's
tremendous spread of branches
1855 feet-and it's large cir
conference of trunk brings up
its unit measure very high. In
rating trees each species is
classed by itself, hence the
largest dogwood tree recorded
to date, which has a circumfer-
ence of 55 inches, rates as high
in its class as the largest
white oak, which has a circum-
ference of 232 inches, rates in
the white oak class.

able basis. Some, perhaps, should be
lowered, but in any event, all should
be on the same basis If I am elect

Of taxable wealth.
Il believe that close cooperation
ihould exist between county asses

mission and if I am elected will
ask each assessor to arrange q con-
sultation of representative tax pay
ers of various classes of property
to meet. with the tax commission.
This will aid assessors in their ef-
forts to equitably assess property in
their counties and assure uni
form method of taxation through
out the state.
II am firmly convinced that gov

greatly reduced in order to con-
form with reduced incomes from all

CMCO DE MAYO
RECALLS PUEBLA

Both sides Of the line JOINED in
the observance Thursday of Cinco
de Mayo. 1t was one of the best
Cinco de Mayo programs in the his
tory of Ambos Nogales.
The national holiday was the
SEVENTEEN to be celebrated since
General Ignacio zaragoza led his
army of valiants into battle against
the trained hordes under French
command at Puebla, Mex.
In 1862 Mexico faced what SEEM
ed a dreary future and it's citizens
were nearly convinced the country
would forever more bow to the rule
OF tyrants. The advancing army of
French dragons was met by the
Mexican patriots near Puebla. Cen
eral Zaragoza led his men to a
brilliant victory that restored con-
fidence and reused a fiery spirit
that brought Mexico complete in
sometime later when the
Archduke of Austria and Maximili-
ano were crushed.
Thus in Nogales Thursday spirit
of rejoicing, celebration and happi-
ness ruled as the masses in the
mother country took up the observ-
ance of the military victory that un-
expectedly sent Mexico on it's way to
freedom and a new prosperity.

Akers Cops
Feature Go
Local Light Heavy Stops
KeIIett; WhitIoW and
Anderson Close.

Although veteran Eddie Ander-
son and Allen Whitlow occupied the
top spot, Jess Akers, a youthful
light heavyweight who now claims
Indianapolis as his home town, stole
the fistic show at Perry stadium
Wednesday night.
Akers exploded a short left on
Andy Kellett's chin in the second
stanza of their scheduled ten
round battle, and the Terre Haute
redhead plunked to the canvas,
where he remained until counted
out. The quick ending followed a
first round Of fast action in which
ASers, who showed lots of stuff,
held the edge.
Although the officials handed Ed
Anderson, Wyoming lightweight,
the verdict after ten heats, The
Times score card showed Whitlow
holding a slight edge.
It was an uninteresting scrap,
with the Phoenix youngsler lefus-
ing to come out of his shell and
make fight of it. Anderson land
ed many times on Aliens shoulders
and gloves and did most of the
forcing, but Whitlow connected eff
fectively more frequently and land
ed the harder blows. If there was
any edge, Whitlow seemed TO have
it, however. Other results:
Tony Brown, Los Angeles heavyweight,
defeated Bud Kline, Indianapolis. in four
rounds; Otto Atterson. Terre Haute, well
! terweight, won on a technical knockout
over Dutch Batting, Morristown, in four
rounds. the towel being tossed into the
