Edison has been aroused recently in the possibility of producing paper and Insulating material through development ox a species of wood found near his south rlonda winter home. The trees that drew the atten tion of the aged inventor sometime ago. and again recently, are of a species generally known as "punk' trees. A grove of the variety is located about 20 miles south of Fort Myers, where It has grown wild lor several years on the shores of the uulf of Mexico. The wood and bark of the tree, during life, are of soft, plaint mat ter that resembles cork. After life leaves the tree, the wood and bark become hard almost to the point of brittleness, according to persons laminar with the growth. . When samples of the wood and outer covering of the tree were pre sented to Mr. Edison, he called at tention to the possibility that it might be used both -for puper and lor insulating material. Recently, it is understood, he has taken time from his experiments with golden- rod, as a potential producer of rub ber, to examine the wood speci men ts.

PRE-WAR BASIS HELD NEED FOR SELLING FARMS "Firm land is not going to move around here for a while at least until the average farmer who want to sell 13 willing to take a reasonable profit on a pre-war valuation of his land, was a re mark dropped by W. L. Buslck, local merchant. Saturday, "For instance, I know a case In point. Some parties purchased a piece ot farm land not far from Salem just a little prior to 118 and paid $27,000 for it. The pre war value of the land was 118.00. In 1918 they took $15,000 from this land, the peak production year or their ownership. They have put enough back Into the place to say place a $35,000 valuation on it now. But they are willing to sen for $18,000, or take a $2,000 profit on the pre-war valuation. "In other word, what I am get ting at, farmers who want to get out from under would do well to place a pre-war valuation on then- place, be willing to tak a lair profit on that and put it up for sale and I believe considerable land would move on that basis. "Parmer tn thia particular com munity at this time can make money on a farm only by operating on a scientific basis and a discon tented fanner Isn't apt to operate in that way.
