NOW WIND TAKES A WhACK AT us
Severe Damage Done and Many Build.
lnqs Badly Wrecked ,..

: In a furious wind storm which
visited the city Thursday even
ing of last week, in which that
destructive element blew at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, the en-
tire roof was blown off of Cor
Sder's automobile shop, carried
across Kelly avenue and depos-
tied in the middle Of Stoltze's
lumber yard. The roof of Reid's
hotel also was badly damaged,
and a large smoke stack blown
down. Noble Bros. show tent,
which was erected on a vacant
lot north of the weather observ-
atory,was blown down, and large
rents torn in the canvass and
both center poles broken. The
escape Of both audience and per-
farmers from injury was consid-
cred miraculous. The perform
ance had not been completed
when the storm broke in all its
fury. AS the wind kept getting
higher and higher the audience
was dismissed, but cautioned to
leave in an orderly manner, as
there was no immediate danger.
It is more than probable that to
this fact may be attributed the
reason that no accidents were
sustained. The actors also had
time to leavesrthe tent before it
was blown over, with the excep-
ton of two or three who found
refuge and shelter behind sew
eral large trunks. By dint of
/ hard work the succeeding day,
however, the tent was again got

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-08-28

ON Fertilizers and Feeding Stuffs, the
address made by Prof. ?. Ell. Rolls, di-
rector of the Florida Experiment Sta
tion and president of the State Horti-
cultural Society, before the latter body
at it's last annual meeting, thus antici-
pating it's publication in the regular re-
port of the Society. The introduction
by DR.. Rose says: 'This address needs
no explanation from me and no excuse
for it's reproduction in the Florida Agri-
cultural Bulletin" May not this be con-
strued as reflection on other equally
as valuable papers read before the So
ciety?
At various times an isolated par
agraph appears in our exchanges on
Alfalfa in Florida. AS to it's excellence
as a forage crop there can be no ques
ton; but cone swallow does not make
summer" and single instances of sam
Piles do not prove the adaptability of
this species of clover to our entire state;
sections there are in northern and west
ern Florida, especially where deep soil
prevails in which it's roots can strike
far, far down where it would thrive;
but in the light, sandy soil to be found
lower down the peninsula or in the flat
woods where the soil is permeated with
water during the growing season, its
successful culture is doubtful.
Two press bulletins, one on Black root
or Wilt disease of cotton by III. P.
Stuckey, and the other on Rape for
Hogs by John M Scott, have recently
been issued by the Florida Agricultural
Experiment Station and can be had by
those interested by writing to the Di-
rector at Gainesville. Black root, it is
stated, is affecting farms in Bradford
and Baker counties; it is caused by a
parasitic fungus living in the soil and
reaching the stems through the roots,
causing the leaves to wilt. It is thought
judicious crop rotation will serve to
hold the disease in check, and it is re-
commended that corn with velvet beans
between the rows be planted the first
year, oats followed by beggar weed the
second and cotton the third year.
Regarding rape the time is at hand
for it's planting (September and o.
tober), and it is said, under favorable
circumstances to afford good pasturage
in about two months. A yield of nearly
fourteen tons per acre is reported in
one of the previous Bulletins mo. 78)
Of the variety called Dwarf Essex which
is considered the best variety for Flor
ida conditions on rather light, sandy
soils, we'll MANFRED. Two to six hundred
pounds of fertilizer can be used, de-
pending on the condition of the soil.

due care until loose ball came. and.
hitting this past mid on. he started for
an easy run. he got home coinfortn

Neighbors hearing the screams of the

found the aged couple lying side by

Several physicians were summoned
but the burns were of too serious a

over forty years, passed away within
IAN hour OF each other. Mrs. Butler

In one OF the fastest pool matches

the noted onearm player defeated
kid Adler of New York at the Abel

Hast night.
| The match was handicap affair,
ADLER agreeing to score 200 to Sea-
holm's 1856. The pool parlor was
crowded to its capacity with inter-
ested spectators and the clever exhi-
bition was thoroughly enjoyed
Seaholm demonstrated that he sure
lly knows the game and in the course
of the match made runs of 80, 2S
and II balls while Adler's highest
run Was 10 balls. The one-arm
champion executed successfully dou-
.ble-kisses and was especially clever at
bank shots.
At the close of the match the score
stood 1S5 to So in favor of Seaholm
William Hogan, of this city, acted as
referee of the| match. -Seaholm leaves
this evening for Toledo where he

BURGLARS FAIL
TO GAIN ENTRANCE
Knights Of the Jimmy Visit
Morrow Residence.
Cellar Had Been Entered but the
Door Into the Kitchen was
Locked.

Believing that burglars were try
ing to effect an entrance to his home
on West Church street, Curtis Nor
row sent a telephone call for the
police shortly after midnight last
night. Officers Hostetter Slagle and
Morrison answered the call, but Il
search OF the locality failed to find
any burglars.
Mr.. Morrow states that he was
awakened by crash at the rear
of the house and after getting III
he tried to turn on all of the cleo
trio lights in the house but was
unable to as the switch was moi
working properly. Investigation this
morning developes the fact thai
the burglars had secured an en-
trance to the cellar. through {
window and had failed in al
attempt to force the door at tn,
head of the stairway leading tt
the kitchen. The storm door OIL
the back porch was pried off b,
the burglars who were unable t.
effect an entrance into the kitchen
probably because they were
frightened away.
