Southern banks, already in better shape to handle the marketing of the cotton crop than ever before, are fur ther assured of federal backing and well-extended credit by Secretary Mo Adoos promise of $3000O,0 in gold for the federal reserve banks, accord ing to bankers of Little Rock.
 Through the federal reserve banks, their correspondent banks, the country banks and the small-town merchants, in well-defined, if somewhat lengthy channel, the small farmers will profit by Secretary McAdoo's efforts to make money available in the South at req sonable rate of interest
 An increase in the amount of money for loans in the South will benefit the farmer and help him in gradually plac- ing his cotton on the market and pre- vent distressed cotton" forcing down the price. That the action of the al lies in declaring cotton contraband will have but little effect on the mar ket, is the general opinion in Little Rock. Germany has not figured as large market for cotton during the last year. The allies action will be bal anced by a change in the place of manufacture rather than in quantity of demand for manufacture, as one Little Rock banker stated it. Secre- tary McAdoos promised deposit is well calculated to make up for the loss of the German and the Austrian mar kets, according to New York cotton experts. The amount Secretary Mo Adoo will make available will allow farmers to carry 3,0OO,O00 bales of cotton for later sale, as much as Aus tria and Germany bought in times of peace.

JOHN H. PAGE SAYS ALL SOIL CONTAINS ENOUGH OF THE
 OTHER ELEMENTS.
MANY BEDS ROCK PHOSPHATE
Declares Lime Should Be Applied By Spreading the Raw Ground Ma terial-.can Be Secured
 in the State.


 Farmers need be concerned about but four elements in the soil. They are nitrogen, phosphorous, potash and lime All soils contain enough of the other elements to make q good crop of any farm crop, says a bulletin is sued by John H. Page, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agricul- ture, to farmers relative to use or ground limestone on farm lands. The bulletin further says:
 "The proper proportion and amount of the four elements mentioned will insure productive soil for any farm crop. Such soils are usually dark or black, and are what are immediately recognized as good soils.
 "A large part of the lands in our state need more phosphorous and lime. Phosphorus can be added to the soil by applications of acid phosphate. bone meal, ground rock phosphate, etc. There are numerous beds of rock it is of low value. Only one or two beds have been developed. Tennessee rock phosphate of good grade can be obtained.
 Lime should be applied by spread ing the raw ground limestone. It can be obtained from several points in the state-Rogers, St. Joe and Ruddels. The Arkansas Lime Company at Rud- dels makes a special of preparing ground limestone for farm use, and sells 1t for about SIPS a ton, depend ing upon quantity"
