An Ideal Country

Men who have had wide experience in the dairy business tell is that this is an idsal eo3atey for daifyiag.
 A representative oe t5e C5l5a1aI Creamery Go. of St Louis recen%5 es- t2blishel q cream sl;22lg station at this point an1 has been endeavoring to interest oar farmea5 in tha production of cream.

 There is anluestioaably money in producing cream for taa market, but therein is not all the profit The re- clamati8a of our wornout farm lands by the fertilization coming from the keeping of cattle upon the farm is an item ta5t will go along way toward swelling th figures upon the debit side of the Ieiger of the j4dicioas farmer Nor i5 taat all Toe sEimmeI milk is the Gness food on earth for both pigs end chickens. Taking it all in all, there i5 no way that it can be figured that dairying will not help the do-something farmer.
 Everything that contributes to the well being of humanity has its effect upon G!l animal creation, and it is only a natural conclusion that comes to any one that will give the matter some thought that this is 9 good country for any business growing oat of the stock industry. Dairying is destined to take it's place as one of our chief occupations in the future There is just as much room for profit in it here as there is anywhere if not more.

 The drillers are departing for other points and our people are having all the time they desire to make up their minds as to what it all means.
 Some are prone to take gloomy view of the situation. Such specula- tion has been rife from the very start, and from what we can learn the con ditions are not far different here from what they are generally in this stage of development in any oil field.
 Robert GaIbreath of Tulsa, who has considerable interests here, in an ad- dress before the Commercial Club about month ago, admonished our people to keep alive upon the subject of oil and gas development. He says that as fara as his experience goes he pre- nounces the indications here exception ally good lie said that the develop- lnent of oil and gas fields is a matter beset with many tribulation5 It is guess-v-ork at best even in a proven field to know just were to sink a we'll That one mans Encouragement amounts to but little to another, as fortunes have repeatedly been made upon failures in this line of business.

 Green Forest is situated upon a broad and comparatively level plateau in the eastern portion of Carroll c0Gn- ty, at an altitude of 1850 feet. With out the slightest disparagement to oth- CT towns of this great Northwest sec tion of the state, Green Forest is ac- knowledged to be the most beautifully and picturesquely situated town.
 It is q singular fact that Green For est is the only town, or postoftice, in the United States bearing that name; and contrary to what its name would indicate, it is also a singular fact that the land upon which the town is locat- ed was not forest" but was a beautiful prairie and was until about thirty years ago familiarly known as "Scott's Prairie" However near the center of this beautiful praide, lE! only one block west Of where the pnaii square now ;a, MS cjasHD e tn-5er that served for many years ;.s , picnic retreat and campmaot.ng grounds.
