The entire western portion of the town OF

southwestern limits of the city, was
wrecked The storm struck that place be
fore reaching this city, and its course was
a most peculiar one. 1t did not move IN a
direct line, moving down path before 1t,
but went at its dreadful work In ngzag
foshion. 4 number of houses were blown
down but the inmates were all
up and had time to escape;
The frame school house was h1ted
from its foundation and moved
several feet and utterly destroyed. The
Daisy line depot was almost totally de
stroyed and the track was covered with
debris for several hundred yards. The
churches escaped with the exception OF the
Baptist, which was twisted some. The
track of the storm in Parkland was about
three blocks wide but in such zigzag
manner that it is almost impossible TO
measure the exact track. To the west OF
the town from the direction in which the
monster had come path several hundred
yards wide is moved down, the trees being
cut off like stalks of grain before the
reaper's scythe.

ROTATION OF CROPS.

BY scientific rotation Of crops our
farms may he continually Improved and
farming be made II pleasant and profitable
occupation. While travelling over our own
county am glad to find that u few thought
full and energetic farmers are perceiving that
. scientific rotation Of crops may be made
far more profitable than without regard to
rotation. verify believe that the pea, COR
rectly used as renovator and fertilizer of
our farns, is much more profitable than our
commercial fertilizers. The following is tn 9
rotation adopted by one Of the BEST farmers
Of our county on his farm which is mostly
upland:
First year, cotton; 81 year, c,rn, rum
ming rows feet apart with row of peas
between Sd year, wheat or oats, followed
with peas on stubbc then cotton again.
This rotation gives four crops every three
years. His reasons for this rotation are
apparent on reflection to every scientific
farmer. Corn and peas are easily rroduc-
ed after cotton, the pea-vine being the best
Of fertilizers. This corn crop may be follow
ed By small grain tpfore winter, which is
not the case with cotton crop. Then the
wheat or oats, supplemented with peas,
leaves the soil we'll fertiized for cotton again.
The red cat and the pea are the salvation
for our farms, and if we will trust in them
and use them, instead of these thousand and
one brands Of Hyht weighted aud bogus,
commercial fertilizers, that laugh Mt our
calamity and mock when payday cometh,
then these worn hills Of our dear old South.

with abundant harvcsts.
