Highway Board Hudely Jolted By Williamson

Rate Of Arrival Of Cotton Well Ahead Of 1934-35 Figures
The Ada compress reports 390 bales arrived by Sept 1 1934 and 60 bales by Oct 1 1935 with expectations of about 1900 bales by Sept 1 1936. Ada gins total 198 bales by Saturday night. Observers forecast Pontotoc county cotton production will rise about 1000 bales above 1934 and 1935 levels due to easier cultivation and less boll weevil impact. First bale arrived Aug 10, one of Ada’s earliest ever.
