THE STORM.
On Saturday last about p. m most
fearful looking cloud passed over this sec
ton. The wind blew fercely and the rain
fell in torrents for while. Our minds
went back to February, 1884, when cy-
clone passed through this and the upper
portion of this section, blowing down
houses and uprooting trees. AS far as our
memory serves us this is the second time
that this section has been visited, and We
trust it will be the last But Saturdays
storm did no further damage than to
knock off a few shingles. PROSTATE fences
and small trees, and injure gardens.
Well, Mr.. Editor. the next thing, / sup
pose, is, what are the farmers doing? We
don't mean to say what are they doing IN
the Alliance, for I suppose almost every
body knows that our editors are all kept
pretty well posted. But it may be very
interesting for many to know how they
are getting along with their field crops
Well, we are doing the very best that we
cln. A month ago we we're ahead with
our plowing, but if April proves to be a
month as rough as March We will be
behind. Taking everything into consider
alton at this time, we are about on level
Corn planting will commence this week
pretty generally on uplands. There is an
immense quantity OF fertilizers being used
this year through this section, IN fact
more than in a number Of years. A veal
ago our newspapers were filled from
one end to another with advice to tbs
farmers to let the guano rest awhile, con
sequently there was but very little used
This year We haven't had any such ad
vice through our papers, and like the ole
negro says, they are "going for it with
every toe up" This shows that news
paper talk has some effect. What about
the grain crop? Well, the wheat pros
pect is as poor as ever saw it for the
time of year; in fact, a number of acre:
have been completely killed out by the
fly and ploughed up for cotton. Wha
oats were not killed begin to look very
promising. If everything is promising
from now on, there will be more than {
half crop OF oats, but not possibly hal
crop of wheat. Owing to the continued
freezes in this month the work of horii
culture will be at least month late.
