Starting a Rubber Plant.

Rubber plants are usually started
by a method known as messing. A
cut is made in a young branch and q
wedge put in 1t to keep the surfaces
apart. A bunch of %sphagnum moss Is
then fastened around the stem over
the cut, the moss being kept wet. As
soon as the young roots appear on the
outside OF the moss the young branch
is cut off and pOtted up.

W. "A. WILCOX ana Wlle ana llILie son of Dodge City, Kan, are here for a visit withshis foster father J. A. Will COX and incidentally greeting old friends. It will be remembered that the visitors were residents here some five years ago, during which time they made many warm friends, who are glad to join the parents in welcoming their temporary stay among us. Will says Arkansas always did look good to him and he finds great deal to delight him on this trip.
 Will Sneed is the most resourceful man in town when it comes to modes of conveyance. In addition to his No. los, he can go by horseback, single buggy, double buggy or automobile, having purchased in Springfield last week one of the International Harvest CTS famous mountain climbers. The machine is five-passenger auto-buggy. It made the trip from Springfield to Green Forest, seventy-five miles, car rying five passengers and lot of junk in even eight hours, defying rocky roads, mountains, creeks, mud and a fS9fous down pour of rain.

Mayor Scott in Trouble.

If time or something else has not or does not tend to soften the wrath of Farmer Chas. Hulsey, there may be something doing in court before many moons in the shape of some sort of legal proceedings against the Mayor of this town.
 The situation is like this: Some days since five members of the swine species were under the direction of Mayor Scott taken up and empounded The usual advertisement was posted advertising three barrows and two sows of certain descriptions for sale after the manner prescribed by ordinance, etc.
 The owner of the hogs, who proved to be Chas. Hulsey, discovered the whereabouts of his wayward pigs and forthwith demanded their return, which was of course readily granted upon his payment of the fees. When the bunch was checked up, however, it was fonnd that instead of three barrows and two sows as advertised, there was as a matter of fact only two barrows and three sows, and here is the seat of the trouble. The Mayor was informed and in dead earnest, too, that 1t would be necessary for him to deliver the goods as advertised. Not being able to do so on so short a notice, the hogs were turned over to the irate owner, who promised our chief magistrate merry chase if he did not make good; that the strong arm of the law would be in voked, and it would be determined whether or not the authorities of a town could thus abuse one of their country subjects.
 Whether the offended party will alledge that he has been damaged on account of misrepresentation of the sex of one of his porkers, or whether our Mayor is to be accused of deliber- ately changing the sex of the said pig, we are not just at this time informed, but there seems to be enough techni- cality in the proposition to render the joke on our Mayor by about two to one and if the thing should come to a legal showdown, the case will be watched with some interest.
The Green Forest tribune., 1910-08-12

Since selling out their grocery busi- ness, the Hiltons have not decided or have not at least announced their future intentions. We hope they will remain among us for they have proven themselves gentlemen and thorough business people since coming here, and we would feel that the town had sus- tained distinct loss should they decide not to remain here.

Demonstration Farm a Success

The Tribune editor drove out by John Stafford's demonstration farm the other day and noted with pleasure that the crop is decided success, promising a yield of corn from thirty to forty bushels per acre.
 Under the instructions from the representative from the department, MT. Stafford has endeavored to culti- vate this five acres just as Uncle Sam would do the job himself, were he a farmer and accustomed to the hot sun. Not only this but he has to a certain extent employed the same methods throughout his entire big crop and it would take the use of a microscope to determine the difference in the yield now promised on this or that of any other five acres of corn on MT. Staf- ford's big farm.
 The demonstration crop was plowed six times and the amount of cultiva- tion has had telling effect. The secret of the success in corn production consists about nine points in the amount of cultivation and the favorableness oi the season. It is easy for Uncle Sam $ theory to make a good showing this year. The corn crops are all good.
