N NEAL FAIR
NOVEMBER %
Farmers of Sulphur Springs
Valley Will Display
Their Products on
Fair Date
A PROSPEROUS YEAR

The farmers OF the McNeal neigh.
borhood in the Sulphur Springs valley
have fixed the day for their annual
fair for a display of the agricultural
products Of that vicinity which are
said to be varied and abundant this
year.
This fair viii be held on Thursday.
November rs. Thanksgiving Day, and
an organization has been perfected
to make all arrangements for enter
tanning visitors on that occasion.
Frank Zayce, formerly a resident
of Bisbee. but who took a homestead
near McNeal three years ago. was in
the city esterday and gave out the
date agreed on for the McNeal fair.
He says that the crops have all been
line this year and especially has the
bean crop been abundant w. Muir.
ply is operating a bean thresher and
clearing from $500 to 5000 daily. The
Season has been exceptionally good
and beans have yielded enormously.
Besides beans the crops include
sorgum, potatoes. onions, cabbage. to-
matoes and other vegetables. Last
year a company was formed for the
purpose Of installing a canning fac.
tory which has been in operation this
year, several tons of fine tomatoes
being thus preserved. Next year
other products will be canned by this
factory.
Many OF the farmers have gasoline
pumps and wind mills which bring
the water to the surface for irriga-
ton. During flood times water IS
carried to crops by means OF leyies
and bitches.
The first attempt at holding a fair
by the McNeal farmers was on last
Thanksgiving day. II was during the
campaign and Governor Hun. and
other candidates were in the county
and went to McNeal to meet the as
semi pied farmers. The display was a
wonder to all who witnessed il and
a demonstration of the possibility for
agricultural development in the sui
phur Springs valley.

method Of extraction, known as

Mozambique and other northern dis.
tricts. There the bark is stripped
from the roots Of the vines or from

fire and pounded until the bark is
finally pounded out, leaving a mass of
rubber in all stages Of crudity. This

A strange truth has come to light

after maturity. It IL also notable
fact that large sections Of the root Of
