Topping Going on
Fulbright-Clks.
F.M. Highway
Black topping operations began
last week on the Clarksville-Ful-
bright farm-to-market highway.
Crews were started at Fulbright
end and will work toward Clarks-
vill. A two-course treatment is
being applied. The priming is
followed by the heavier, perma-
nent topping and these operations
are being carried on simultane-
ously. Every mile thus covered is
finished and ready for public use.
A mile or more can be complet-
ed weekly, according to an esti-
mate of Gordon Moore, maintance
foreman, provided no interrupt-
ions are encountered. Weathei
conditions at this time of the year
are uncertian and the arrival ol
the cold season may mean that
some extra weeks will be needed
to complete this job.
With fairly continous work per-
mitted, the job will require most
of the remaining weeks of the
year. The road, however, is al-
ready, since a gravel surface was
applied during the summer.
Right of way for a four-mile ex-
tension of this highway from a
point three miles east of Ful-
bright to connect with Highway
37 at Bogata is now being sought.
District Highway engineer Davis
has programmed this project for
early consideration and is await-
ing the delivery of right of way
deeds to place it in the active
list. Negotiations are now being
carried on with property owners
with the hope of having all signa-
tures within a short time.
A whiskey still in readiness to
make a run was raided about
miles south of Gpthand by
itjr Sheriff J. £. Seville, ac-
«uuii>anied by H. B. Stanley, state
liquor control officer, and Fed-
eral Agents Weaver and Alex-
ander. -Two men were arrested
and takesi into custody of U. S.
officers.
Several barrels of in ash, ready
to cook, a quantity of sugar and
other materials were confiscated.

Mrs. Thompson
Dies Following
Long Illness
Mrs. E. O. Thompson, wife of
a Deport druggist, passed away
Thursday morning at her home in
Deport following an illness of two
years duration.
Surviving beside her husband
is a daughter, Mrs. John A. Webb
of Tyler, two step children, Dr.
Fagan Thompson of Cullman,
Ala., and Mrs. James Prichard of
Shoemaker, Ark. Several sisters
and brothers also survive.
Funeral arrangements were in-
complete at press time.
More Money for
Road-Bridge Fund
Each of the four commissioners
in Red River County has been al-
lotted $1,184 of state funds for
use in his respective precinct for
retirement of machinery or
equipment obligations or to meet
other needs associated with road
improvements.
This money represents the sur-
plus after the county’s 1949 al-
lotment from the bond assump-
tion fund had been used to meet
current maturities for which it
was eligible.
This was a sort of windfall not
taken into account in the current
year’s budget and improves the
position of the road and bridge
fund at a time when the account
customarily is at its lowest point.

J. M. Wims Dies
At Altus, 0k.
Funeral services were held at
Altus, Ok., Sunday, Oct. 16, for
J. M. (Jim) Wims, conducted by
Cornelius C. Abbot, minister of
the Church of Christ.
Jim Wims, as he was known
here, was born to the piojieer
family of Wilkin and Mary
Wims, January 24, 1869, at La-
vada in Franklin County. His
brothers and sisters were: Mrs.
A. A. Smith, a half sister, de-
ceased, Mrs. T. L. Leake of Tal-
co; Richard (Dick) Wims,' de-
ceased, Mrs. Doc Dickerson, de-
ceased, and W. A. (Gus) Wims
of Bogata.
He was married to Miss Esta
Cragg of Glencove, Colman
County, June 30, 1889. She pre-
ceded him in death several years,
at Altus, where they had spent
the most of their married life.
She was a faithful member of the
Church of Christ there.
Purchase Orders
Winter Legume
Seed Expire Nov. 1
November 1 and November 15
are two red letter days concern-
ing the 1949 winter cover crops.
P. M. A. purchase orders for win-
ter legume seed expire on Nov.
1, and Nov. 15 is the latest date
that the legumes may be planted
under the program.
Purchase orders have been is-
sued for enough winter legume
seed to plant 13,500 acres, ac-
cording to A. J. McMillan, ad-
ministrative officer of the county
P. M. A. office. However, he
stated that many of the orders
have not been turned in to the
seed dealers, indicating that
many of the seed had not actual-
ly been purchased.
The weather during the next
\ three weeks will be a deciding
factor in the acreage planted to
Austrian winter peas, hairy vetch
or Singletary peas. Every acre
planted to the green cover will
be weatherproofed against soil
erosion this winter and insured
for a higher crop yield next fall.
Increased yields resulting from
cover crops have been wide-
spread over the county. Almost
every farmer using them during
the past few years tells of out-
standing benefits.
On the Stiles Jones farm in Red
River County the yield' of cotton
per acre has been increased from
less than Vi bale per acre of cot-
ton in 1946 to Vi bale- per acre
in 1949. Austrian winter peas,
hairy vetch, phosphate, and other
fertilizer can be credited with the
increase, according to Mr. Jones.
The year by year story on his
yields are as follows: 1946—14
bales on 60 acres, 1947—25 bales
on 60 acres, 1948—32 bales on 50

Cotton Harvest
Rain again put cotton picking
at a standstill in this area the
past week as indicated by only
57 bales of cotton being ginned.
Those farming on sandy land
were able to start picking at noon
Wednesday but most fields were
still too wet to pick in.
The Farmers Gin had ginned a
total of 1816 bales up to Thurs-
Soaking rains began falling in
this section Sunday and continu-
ed throughout the night and most
of Monday. The official rain
gauge at Deport recorded 1.61
inches for the two days. Creeks
were full and many overflowed
in lowlands.
Considerable damage was done
to the cotton crop remaining in
fields. Little feed and corn has
been gathered and farmers are in
need of dry weather.
Roads in rural areas, not serv-
ed by all weather roads, are in
bad condition. School buses and
rural carriers are having diffi-
