 "Look at the contrast in the value of farm lands! A few days ago a man in Oklahoma stated that he and a friend secured claims adjoining. His friend set out large vineya ard and orchard. He said he neglected to put out an orchard. Today one of the farms is valued at S3000 and the other could not be bought for S25000. Here in Arkansas you can buy farms without orch ards for a mere trifle, compared with those which have orchards. In fact, if a farm without an or- chard sells, it is generally con- sidered to be at a sacrifice price, and in some cases, for less than the cost of improvements. The contrast is so great that it looks preposterous that it should be necessary to make comparison, but a correct knowledge of facts are not worth anything to a per- son unless he will put that know ledge to practical use.
 Since you have asked me to express my views on the fruit in- dustry, there is one more thought that wish to present. Every loyal citizen who is interested in the advancement and develop ment of the country should real- ize that he is responsible to a cer- tain extent, for the social and commercial condition of his To- cality and if it is not up to the standard, and should outsiders criticise, he should never murmur. The opportunities and possibili- ties open to each citizen in this favored land are so great that there is left absolutely no excuse, and to complain is to cast reflec- ton upon ones own ability to ap- propriate the vast wealth of un- claimed blessings that are ours for the taking
The Green Forest tribune., 1902-05-10

The Green Forest Oil & Gas Company have just issued cir cular letter addressed to the wholesale and jobbing houses selling goods to Green Forest merchants in which the company seeks to interest the wholesalers in the development in the oil and mineral resources of this country. The letter is as follows:
 "The Green Forest Oil 6 Gas Co. has been organized to develop the oil and mineral resources of the locality surrounding Green Forest, which means the ad- yancement# of all our interests and more particularly that of the holders of stock in this company.
 This company desires to pur- chase drill and push the work of development and for the pur- pose of securing balance of funds necessary to this end has de- cided to ask all who are interested in the development of this section to assist by purchasing stock of this company, thereby becoming a part of the company with equal rights with all other members, for every stockhoIder has equal standing in every respect.
 We realize that the develop ment of the resources of this section will rebound not only to the profit of all who do business in the town but all wholesale peo- pie who sell to the local mer- chants.
 With this fact in view, we feel no hesitancy in asking you as one directly interested to subscribe for some of this stock to help push this movement along.
 Every test made and the opin- ion of a number of experts who have investigated the matter, as we'll as the official report of Hon. John c. Branner, State GeoIo- g1st Ot Arkansas, prove conclu- sively that this section, in the center of which our holdings to the extent of $500 acres are situated, is rich in oil, lead and zine and other minerals as we'll.
 We have S150,000 worth of stock in shares of S25 each which, for development purposes, we wish to place upon the mar ket at 10 cents on the dollar, making a cost to you of S2 50 on each share.
 This letter is being sent to every wholesale dealer and jobber doing business in Green Forest, and if each will assist to the ex- tent of investing in a few shares, at least, it will be of material aid to the enterprise, to the town and to every merchant.
 To what extent do you feel Willino' to helD?''

was done with a broad, sharp spade. The spade was set down about six inches from the stalk of corn in the hill on every side of the hill. The spade was pushed down into the soil, and a guard allowed 1t to penetrate just to the depth planned for in the experi- ment. The whole field was cul- tlvated with weeder, and all weeds not removed in this way were cut out by hand. This was done so that the rows of corn would receive equal cultivation and be under like conditions. The pruning was done three times III the season, at about the ordina- ry times of cultivation. The sec ond row was not pruned and the third row was pruned four inches deep. The fourth row was not pruned and the fifth row was pruned six inches deep. This was repeated until a large field was treated in this manner.
 The resulting yields were as follows for three seasons:

Baptist Church Enclosed.

Contractor J. B. Reeves will probably complete his contract to enclose the Baptist church . house next week and when.this is done, we are sorry to say, the work will have to stop until more money is raised, as the building fund is completely exhausted.
 So far there has been expended in the construction of the build- ing, including the purchase of windows and doors, over S700, and the building committee esti- mates that $500 more will be nec- essary to paint, plaster and seat 1t in the manner they had hoped to do it. The cost of the work thus far is covered by money col lected or pledges yet outstanding. For the latter the chairman of the building committee has managed to advance the money so as not to impede the work until the point of enclosing the building has been reached.
 Much credit is due the Baptist congregation here for the heroic efforts they have exercised in trying to erect a place of worship in a close time financially like the country has experienced on account of the disastrous drought of the past season. No small amount of credit for what has so far been accomplished is due to the untiring efforts of the con secrated young pastor, Elder Sam, Eaton, who is not only devoting a large amount of his time tr furthering the effort to comple, %& q the building, but who has donate , of his own earnings sum alm X ah equal to that paid him by IS, al church for years services, ,-s7 HI

TALKS FRUIT GROWING.
An Interview with G. X. Gamble,
 the Editor and NurSeryrnan

As was stated in the last issue of THE TRIBUNE G. A. Gamble, the well-known nurseryman and editor of the Arkansas Fruit Grower, of Fort Smith was in Green Forest last week.
 Knowing that he is always stocked with information for those interested in fruit THE TRIB- une scribe sought an interview with the distinguished gentleman on fruit subjects of current inter-
 est.
 In answer to the question 'what can you say of current fruit crop and fruit raising gen. erally?o Mr. Gamble responded:
 "The prospects for good crop of fruit and good prices were never better in North Ar kansas. Apples, peaches and pears will require heavy work thinning in order to obtain good grade of fruit. A heavy crop of grapes and blackberries is ex- pected and the prices will be good. The only fruit that will be unusually short on the mar ket is the strawberry. The drought last year destroyed thousands of acres of plants and it is generally conceded that we will not have more than one fifth of a crop, though prices will rule higher throughout the season.
 ''The past season furnishes one of the strongest object les sons ever presented to the far mer and fruit raiser. The drought in North Arkansas and Southern Missouri practically ruined all farm crops except orchard pro- ducts. Thousands of farmers who were entirely dependent on grain crops and were rendered destitute and were forced to re- sort to day labor in order to sup port their families. Those who had orchards were able to meet their obligations and had larger bank accounts at the end of the year than usual. Now, the man without on orchard can look back over the past and see where he sighted many opportunities.
 It is not a question of ability but a matter of choice, any man who has a farm can and will have an orchard if he desires one strong enough to prompt him to reasonable eXertiOn.
 "There are few sections of the United States so highly favored for growing fruit, especially ''the big red apple" as North Arkan- sas. The opportunities are so tempting, yea, l will say so allur- ing that business men and pro- fessional men of all classes are neglecting their chosen occupa- tions and are putting out large commercial orchards. I don't need to mention the names of your doctors, merchants and law yers in order to sustain this as- sertion, and if you don't know that there are numerous business and professional men in North Arkansas who realized more from the products of their or chards last year than they did from their profession it is be- cause you have not made proper investigation.
 ''In connection with this, 1 wish to say that the brainy editors who have necessarily urged that the people should turn their atten- tion to raising fruit, are 'prac- ticing what they preach by put ting out large orchards. Some of the best writers in Carroll, Boone and Benton counties have thrown down the quill, hung up the scissors, and have set to work to train up the trees in othe way they should grow andAa predict that they will not only find health and enjoyment but will find it

 In fact, these and all other sim liar experiments simply prove that any injury to the roots of the plant reduces the yield. The amount of this reduction was about in proportion to the num- Der of roots cut off. These ex- periments explain the reduction of the yield by deep cultivation.
 The best results of experiments and from practical experience are to the effect that continued cul- tiVation, keeping a loose mulch on the surface of the soil, gives the best results. The general practice coming into vogue among the most progressive and successful corn growers is, after the corn reaches a height to in terfere in cultivating with the or dlnary tWo- horse cultivator, to use a single horse with a five tooth harrow or drag, and culti- yate between the rows of corn during the setting of the ears on the stalks. The yields per acre of 100 bushels have been secured by this plan, and experience has proven it to be a practical and successful plan on a large scale. Of course, if there is plenty of rainfall, such precaution is not necessary.
 A test of 8 few of the different methods of cultivation in use at present resulted as follows:

 The weeds must be kept out at any cost, and if they have not been removed before the crop ap- pears they must be destroyed. The kind of cultivation will de- pend upon the local conditions, but the implement that stirs the soil and leaves a loose mulch, de- stroys the weeds, and avoids root pruning, will give the best results I I, II n; no n m c,fanonc
