Whatever happens in the way

of developments along other lines the fact remains that Ashdown will always be known as a cotton town and Little River county as cotton county. 1t is and must always remain our greatest source of wealth. It does not follow by any means that other enterprises will not be developed nor that other lin- es of farming will not be en- couraged until they grow in im- portance, but the adaptability of our soils, climate and labor will ever keep cotton enthroned as king. We have reached the point in our history when we must elect to remain an average cotton town, or a big cotton town. The compress and all that follows will settle all that for all time. No business man in Ashdown in anyways con- nected with the cotton industry will admit for one single mo- ment that there is any doubt about our landing definitely the compress. They mean to sur mount any obstacle that might arise and will tell you that nothing will be allowed to stand in the way. Ashdown has more than once been confront ed with propositions that meant another step forward to a great CT destiny in the scheme of things and she has always elected to go forward, whether it meant adding another rail road, highway, factory or indus try. She has elected to take the compress now while the Op- portunity affords and while the time is suspicious, and take it she will. With one of the finest cotton oil mills in the South, with large compress and warehouse facilities, with lands equal to the Mississippi Delta radiating in all directions, with railroads piercing the heart of all this territory and highways spangling in seven directions from the town, with cotton buying headquarters for all this territory located here, this is destined to become the cotton center of vast territory and a plac. of more importance than many people have realized. Visions of our far-seeing men are to come true. Our farmers can hardly yet realize what it will mean to them, and this in- cludes farmers of all this county and neighboring counties. Theirs will be the direct benefit. The indirect benefit will reach all others. Other industries will follow. Banks will of nec- essitysexpand as will other busi- a.-

RIGHT TIME TO APPLY LIME
u Badly Needed II May Be Spread
on Winter Wheat In Spring and
Lightly Narrowed.

The best time to apply lime is when
land Is being prepared for wheat in
fall. 1t should be spread on the plowed
ground and narrowed in. Lining corn
land that is to be followed by grain
crop with clover is also good practice.
II lime Is badly needed 1t may be
spread on the winter wheat in the
spring and lightly narrowed in. 1t
will not be as effective rs IL 1t had
been put on last fall but 1t will help
some. II clover is to be seeded with a
spring grain crop. lime can be applied
when preparing the land for this crop.
The precise amount of lime to use
in each case can be determined only
by chemical means, and the various
methods for determining the lime re-
quirement of soils do not always yield
uniform results. says the United
Stntes department of agriculture. For
the farmer the response Of the clover
crop Is the best test. By lining a feld
at two or three rates and leaving a
strip unlimed the farmer can get
clover to tell the story itself. As
general rule. which is useful as
starting point. two tons of ground
limestone or one ton of burnt lime an
acre will put most land In shnpe to
grow clover.
