LOOKING AFTER
FORESTRY ROADS
H O. Stabler, Here From Washing
ton. Talks of Work to BE Done
in Polk County-Sees the Need
of Better Maintenance.

H. O. Stabler, assistant district for
ester. with headquarters in Washing
ton. d. c., spent Tuesday in Mena in
order to get information first hand as
to the statue of Polk county's big
north and south highway. This infor-
nation was necessary in order to
know what could and would be done
regarding the building by the Fores-
try department of tine i012 to IL miles
of road thru the National Forest via
the Foran Gap route.
In conversation with representa-
tive of The Star Mr.. Stabler said he
had ascertained that there was nc
longer any reasonable doubt but Polk
county would build its highway, and
that he, on the showing made, expect
ed to have a force on that part of the
highway in the National Forest late
in the summer, and would complete
the work during the year 1920.
Mr.. Stabler stated that the highway
force was now completing a 34-mile
road across the Ozark Forest. This
force would, early in February, take
up the 10-mile project on the Albert
Pike highway from 0den to Chant
following this with the work in Polk
county.
Speaking of good work already
done in the Arkansas Forest, Mr.. Sta
bier mentioned the stretch between
Big Fork and Womble, which is the
best piece of road between Mena and
Hot Springs. One problem as yet not
solved with complete satisfaction, Mr.
Stabler said, is the maintenance OF
the roads built by the Forestry de-
partment Too often, it is found, the
counties thru which they pass are in
cined to neglect them, and he hopes
for the time when they can be main
tanned as we'll as built under govern
ment supervision.
Mr.. Stabler talked most interest.
ingly of projects and plans for future
years in maintaining the National
Forests. Already, he said, the time
was coming near when the country
in the natural trend of events, would
have to pay very high prices for its
lumber because it would have to be
hauled by rail from the far west. But
as the years go on the department
will establish system by which the
output from the several National For
ests will be continuous, instead of, as
is the custom under private ownership
and control, cutting out the timber in
few months or years and then hav-
ing practically, no production for the
years following. Mena will be inter
ested in this, .and more definite infor-
nation may be available to the read
ers Of The Star in the near future.

GOOD MONEY IN GOOD HOGS.
Experience of r. Golf Should Be an
Inspiration to Polk County Folks.

The experience of R. Golf in raising
purebred Poland China hogs ought to
be an inspiration to Polk county farm

as business. Mr.. Golf says that
from an investment of $216 in good
blooded hogs and SAT- in sacked feed
he sold $1,000 worth of hogs and has
$500 worth left. He believes that on
40 acres of land in Polk county, and
$500 capital to operate the first year

$4,000 year after the first years
