RAINS DAMAGE TRACKS
OF [, & N. AND SOUTHERN
Trains From Six to Eight Hours Late
as Result of Numerous
Washouts.

Owing to the heavy rains of yesterday
nearly all trains into Birmingham are
delayed, In some cases as much as eigh,
hours, according TO midnight reports. On
the Louisville and Nashville just south
of Tacoa, six bents of the bridge were
washed away. Otherwise the bridge,
which is an overhead suspension structure,
was not damaged. On the Louisville and
Nashville north of Birmingham there are
four washouts near Newcastle
The Southern road has suffered to a
greater extent. Between North Birming-
ham and Twenty-seventh street water on
the tracks is six feet deep, and between
North Birmingham and Woodlawn two
tressels are gone. The tracks are covered
with water. There is a washout at Coal
burg. Trains, it is said a the dispatcher 5
office will be delayed at least eight hours,
possibly longer.
Together with damage to the road beds
by the floods, and wire trouble practically
all along the lines from Birmingham
south both the Louisville and Nashville
and the Southern will do well, 1t is said,
to get the tracks again in shape by early
noon today.

AGRICULTURE.
WHEAT GROWING.

The writer has made close study of
the wheat crops of this country for sew
eral years. The conditions regarding
wheat growing in this country are some
what peculiar. The crop is one OF our
leading crops and has been so for years,
vet for the last few years the crop has
been badly neglected in a great many
sections. Careless methods are employed
in preparing the soil and seed bed for the
wheat Very little attention is paid TO
seed or seed selection. Often farmers are
found sowing wheat that millers positive
ly would not buy at any price. TINS poor
seed sown on poorly prepared seed peds
has caused a great loss in yield, and at
the same time has given poor grade
of wheat Farmers often overlook the
fact that wheat like any other crop, needs
plant food, and in order to get the best
results or crops that will pay the farmer
for his labor, seed, rent of land, etc., his
land must have this food in the best form
and applied at the proper time.
The wheat crop really does not pay
big profit at best. This being true, the
crop should be placed in a rotation or
crops, less acres sown to wheat and a
higher grade of wheat grown on the acres
that are sown to wheat.
The great wheat farms of our country
are being, like the beef ranches, broken
up, and the growing of wheat will be
scattered over the country, where 1t Will
be put in the rotation of crops, Will be
better cared for, better seed will be used.
and better profits will be obtained from
the crop. In the early history of all new
countries the crop was an easy or quick
crop Farmers rushed Into the wheat
growing. and while the soil was new and
the land cheap, a reasonable profit could
be obtained from the crop. But, as the
country became older and more settled.
and the land became exhausted from con-
slant cultivation, the yield and quality OF
the wheat began to run down. and for

lister plant foods so as to keep up the
fertility of the soil. the crop ceased to
poy the farmer for growing It. We find
that many of our great wheat growing
states are gradually working out of wheat
growing. and grass and livestock have
taken the place of wheat. Where wheat
is grown at all, it is grown in a rotation
of crops, and one acre Is made to pro-
duce as much as three acres did few
years ago. This we find is the case in
New York, Pennsylvania Maryland
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Some of the old red hills of Maryland
that thirty years ago would only yield
eight to ten bushels of wheat per acre,
are now yielding from twenty to forty
FIVE bushels of good wheat. while the
leading wheat growing states of the east
have improved their wheat crops and
narrowed them down to a rotation of
crops. The great wheat growing states
of the west have begun to see the wis
dom of the eastern states in this, and
they, too, have begun to narrow their
efforts, to use less acres of wheat and to
use methods that will give better quality
of their wheat. Michigan. Wisconsin and
Minnesota have all reduced their wheat
acreage

While travelling this summer looking
after wheat crops, ] travelled four hum
dred miles in Wisconsin where twenty
years ago wheat was common crop.
without seeing an acre of wheat. Wheat
was more common in parts of Michigan.
yet the crop has been greatly reduced
in acreage. Through the southern part
of Minnesota there were not many crops
of wheat to be seen. This was also true
of South Dakota. North Dakota has not
reduced her wheat crops as have other
states. Iowa is practically out of wheat
growing. Only few of her better farm
ers grow wheat in n rotation of crops
where 1t pays about as well as other
crops, especially where the advantage of
rest and change of the soil Is counted
Nebraska and Kansas are both gradually
drifting into the dairy business. The
dairy cow and grass will soon be leading
in these states. Oklahoma as yet, is
largely a wheat growing state, but is
greatly overrated as such, and Is growing

"When my little girl baby was one

of the soil. Where a sufficient amount OF
phosphoric acid was used at seeding time,
the quantity as used in this formula
may be greatly diminished. This Mary
land station formula is: Two per cent
nitrogen; per cent available phosphoric
acid, and 7Da per cent muriate of potash.
This of course can be changed to suit
the conditions of the soil. For heavy clay
soils the amount of potash may be large.

In addition to these plant foods there
are many soils where air Stacked lime

As Result Of Crusade
Police Declare "NOne Idle"

Migrants in Birmingham are exceedingly
scarce. So say the police.
After an active crusade directed against
negro Migrants only about fifty arrests
have been made, and the majority of these
were "chronic" cases. This is true, too,
in spite of the fact that several police
men have patrolled their beats with an
eye wide open for oilers. A careful esti-
mate made of new faces seen on certain
streets is that the population of Blrming-
ham has been increased by about three
hundred negroes as the result of the re-
cent Atlanta race disturbances. OF the
fifty arrests made on the vagrancy charge
some thirty-six convictions have resulted.
Work for the other negroes was found.

Bird Criminals.

A subject which has exercised me this
summer has been as to what bird it IL

sucking the eggs.
In one small piece of hedge I found one
blaclsbirds and two thrushes nests all
treated in the same way, the three show
ing among them the wreckage of eleven
eggs all similarly pierced and empted.
The missed thrush has ben suspected OF
the offence and in this case | should sup
pose it to be the missed thrush if 1t were
not that pair of butcher birds nested
in the same hedge
1t is perhaps unjust to suspect the
butcher bird on no better evidence than
its mere proximity to the scene of the
crime and it may be questioned if the
shrike would dare to rifle the nest OF
either blackbfrd or thrush. sug-
