HABIT GONE QUIT
No More Tagging Coat Tails to Sell Land at Green Forest
FEW PEOPLE WANT TO SELL
Buyers Now Doing Full Share
 of Hunting Up Deals

At any time in our history up to within the past year or so a prospective land buyer arriving in Green Forest any day in the week would have a half dozen parties hanging to his coat tail before night. Every farmer in the country, it seemed, wanted to sell in the worst way. Hundreds of people have been run out of the country in disgust by such proceedings.
 But happily this disposition among the people has run it's course. The practice has al- most entirely gone out and the man now who actually wants, to sell is the exception. Many in deed have prices on their land that will take, it but they have not the time nor inclination to stay around town looking for a buyer They have at least learned that a more advantageous sale can be made by letting the buyer do his half of the hunting. They either leave the job to real estate man, or say nothing about it.
 No country can hold out great inducement to home seekers when majority of the popula- ton is dissatisfied, hence the new condition of things in the real estate business is very en- couraging to those who are think : ing more of the growth of the country than they are of trying to turn something loose.
 This does not indicate by any means that there is nothing doing in the real estate line, for just the opposite is true. There have been more deals in real estate the past six months in and around Green Forest than have ever taken place in the same length of
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-10-04

time in the history of the town. Several farms and pieces of prop erty have changed hands two and three times and each time at increased figures. That is the way real estate values are made. There is nothing upon which values can De based except fig ures for which other properties of like character have sold.
 A,,well posted real estate man onced remarked that Arkansas land values increase slowly but that when they move up a notch once they hold it securely. That is a fact. An abstract of nine cut of ten of the farms in this country will show with each suc- cessive change of ownership the consideration has been moved up some.
 The most healthy thing for the increase of the real estate values is to improve the land, along as you talk up the country.
 The retaining of old lands is now of far more importance than the opening up of the new.

NO BUILDING BOOM
But a Substantial Boom of
 Values in Green Forest
VALUES TAKE SUDDEN RAISE
Solid Condition of the Com
 munity is Made Apparent

While building boom for Green Forest is out of the ques- ton at the present time, owing to the scarcity of material and laborers, yet there is boom of property values on that speaks in equally as unmistakable terms of upward tendency of values here.
 Conservative figures on the in- crease of coet of material and in the price of labor show that it costs almost if not quite twice as much to build as it did five years ago, and with all that it positively is a hard matter to get anything done in the building line, owing to the difficulty in being able to procure all of the material needed or laborers to do the work.
 All of this speaks volumes for the industrial conditions of the country. The increased demand for property in Green Forest the past six months has raised val ues on residence properties from 25 to 50 per cent, and still they promise to go higher. In nearly every town in this country, or any other country for that mat ter, residence property is generally offered for less than it would cost to build similar houses, but that day about pass ing out in Green Forest. Prop- erty values are now being placed upon the relative cost of pro- duction, and the price has of necessity gone up considerably.
 These increased values are only in keeping with the gener- al increase in price of every thing and there is no reason to suppose that they have not come to stay.
 The substantial growth of Green Forests business and market interests as we'll as the establishment of her excellent school facilities have added greatly to the demand for pro- perty here which, of course, con- tributes it's share toward increas- ing values.

CATTLE
From Ravages of Texas Fev-
 CT Ticks Theme of Dr.. Fry
STATE VETERINARIANS TALK
To the Farmers and Stock
 men of Carroll County

pr. Fry, acting state veter- marian and a brother of Chas. P. Fry, the Carroll county cattle in- spector, made speech before a mass meeting of stockmen and farmers at Berryville on Wednes- day of last week on the subject of protecting our cattle industry against the Texas fever. pr. Fry said in part:
 "This is a large undertaking, when fully understood, but with all hands at the wheel it will not be so hard. This crusade is against ticks. Surely we all know by this time that it is not dog, deer nor Lone Star ticks. These are annoying but not dangerous parasites, but they de- stroy vitality and should be gotten rid of along with the rest.
 "It is the Texas fever tick, the species that transmits the dis ease commonly called Texas fever, or dry or bloody murrian, splenetic fever, and perhaps a dozen other names.
 Numerous experiments by the United States government have demonstrated to a certainty that this is the only kind of tick that will communicate disease," said Dr. Fry, as he cited many ex- periments and authorities upon the subject, showing that animals in any degree infected by fever ticks are unfit for food.
 @ "This disease or the presence of these ticks cause an annual loss in the United States of forty millions of dollars, figured by the number of deaths, loss in growth and milk and market value.
 "To remedy or to lessen this loss, the first thing to find out is the history of the parasite that causes this loss. By close study the facts have been determined that when fully engaged the fe- male ticks drop to the ground and lay from 1900 to 4000 eggs in from six days to three weeks. These eggs hatch out in from

NO DEMAND FOR IT
Position of Hon. w. R. Phil lips on Foreign Flour Here
WHEAT A LEADING PRODUCT
Situation Recalls War on the
 Mail Order Houses

"I was glad to see that article of yours on the subject of buying Kansas flour,' said Hon. W. R. Phillips to The Tribune scribe, as he halted his horse in front of our office on Friday of last week.
 "The intentions of the buyer and seller in this matter may not be so bad, but principle involved in buying foreign flour is very wrong," said our distinguished ex-represenative, as he raised up in his saddle and become more anim.ated.
 It was plain to be seen that the subject was one of much interest to him, so we coached him on little and he made a speech to us on the subject that was far more interesting than we can make it appear here.
 Mir. Phillips went on to say |: "There is equally as much jus- tioe in buying dry goods and groceries from Sears & Roe- buck as in buying flour from Kansas.
 "The cry of the merchant is: 'Patronize home and keep the money in the country, and some of those same merchants buy 2 yafter car of foreign flour and thereby violate the very princi- pie for which they so strenuously contend.
 : "As to the demand for foreign flour; this exists more in the mind of the merchant than in the stomach of the populace. In reality, there is no such demand. The practice is lucrative to the merchants, and he very natur- ally concludes that he has a right to use his money in any way that yields a good return in per cent.
 .sThe effect upon the farming community is to stimulate negli- gence in the matter of growing wheat. The good year of 1907 sees thousands of acres of land that is fenced and has, in the past, been in fair state of culti-
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-10-04

vation, now growing fine crops of sassafras brush or sage grass. With half care and a quarter of a crop, this idle land would have made wheat enough to hay e knocked Kansas flour into a cooked hat. Such conditions as these are capital upon which merchants speculate.
 "No, we could not raise wheat in this country to compete with wheat growers in more favored regions, but we surely could raise enough to supply the demands of home. Kansas has surplus, (and we are glad she has) and she has pluck and energy, too. She is on the lookout for a good market for her surplus, and is stimulated by the same thing that inspires our merchants to buy their products-a goodly field for interest on their money.
 tsI have no criticism to offer against the people of Kansas or any other state that can ship flour in here and sell at a profit. They have as much right to do that as we have to ship our ap- ples out to Kansas. The country could not get along without an exchange of commodities. We must have sugar and coffee and a great many other things from other sections of the country, for we do not produce them, but we do produce wheat here and with equally as much profit as we find in any other line of our agricultural pursuits. l am one man that will join you on that fasting proposition, but will agree to see to it that you have biscuits made of native flour three times day, if you should have any trouble on account of your stand against buying for eign flour"

Hon. J. F Mayes, of Ft. Smith, United States marshal for the Western District of Arkansas, hands us nice little contribu- ton on subscription. He says he is glad to see us back with The Tribune.
