Letter from G. w. Sturaill

Benerton, Greg, June 5, 1917.
 Editor Tribune:- Enclosed find $1.00, for which please keep The Tribune coming. I like to read old Arkansas news, and The Tribune is just like a big, long letter from home.
 I have now been in Oregon for eight months and like it fine. Farmers are just now planting potatoes, wheat. bar ley and oats. Potatoes and onions are the main crop here.
 Wake up your district correspond ents, and have them send in the news. That is what makes good paper. l like to hear from all of them. 1 would like to see all my old Arkansas friends, but I am we'll pleased in the west. 1 have good job at s60.00 per month. and my board and bed furnished, and of course that beats anything 1 could do in Arkansas. I have been with the same man every since came, and will have my job until December. Wish a few more of you Arkansas folks would slide out west.
 War talk is all you hear out here.
 Everything is high, but 1 have made good, so far. I live II miles from Portland It has population of 250,- 900 people. I will ring off for this time. Respectfully.
 G. w. Sturgill.

HATS OFF TO GREEN FOREST, ARK.

To the Editor of The Republic:
 Now that all Americans are full to overflowing with patriotism and doing their bit in boosting Liberty Bonds and shouting for Old Glory, believe Green Forest, Ark, the town from which 1 write, should be known from one end of this country to the other. It is one of the most beautifully located towns in the State of Arkansas, filled with substantial, progressive people. Popu- lation is $50, but of this number fl men have volunteered for the U. S. army, are drilling daily, are ready and most willing and are eager to follow Persh- ing in France.
 If you or any of your readers can show town in America that equals this trot it out. Until this is done, let us take off our hats to Green Forest, the banner town of the United States. travel out of St. Louis for St. Louis firm. and it is always pleasant duty to visit Green Forest.

We are reliably informed that the movement started short time ago by members of the Green Forest Baptist church to raise fund with which to give the church building general overhauling has already grown to $l08. 50, that amount being on deposit at the First National Bank to the credit of that church. The building committee appointed for this work, figure that repairs contemplated will cost probably double the above amount but they state that prospects are quite good for raising the necessary balance in the next few days. Probably we will publish list of those who have contributed and their respective amounts in the near future.
 Save the Early Crop of Irish Potatoes
 Plant Fall Crop.
 Save the early crop of Irish potatoes and grow fall crop or Arkansas will face a serious shortage and prohibitive PiiSCo' ihS SAPCiiChCC O1 IilS UCoI farmers in the state tends to prove that the spring crop can be saved and that a very good stand can be secured for a fall crop by the proper preparation of the seedbed, by the proper care of pota- toes to be used, and by using only ma ture potatoes for seed. Detailed in formation concerning how to handle the early crop and produce fall crop can be secured by writing to the Acting Director of the Extension Division. Do not forget with the present high price of potatoes, the shortage of acre. age on account of the cost of seed and the great demand that will probably increase rather than diminish. Every farmer should provide for his own use and be certain to have his own seed next spring.
