STORM DEVELOPED


The low pressure area over the
Southwest the past few days developed
into well-dehned storm centre. which.
yesterday morning. was over the Mid
die Gulf coast moving rapidly north
eastward. The storm was one Of pre-
cipation rather than OF wind in this
territory. heavy rains falling over Ala
hama and West Georgia during the
passage OF the disturbance.
The wind yesterday morning was
easterly. It passed through the south
ernly points becoming southwesterly
during the afternoon. At 10 o'clock
last night Il was blowing from west to
northwest, showing that the centre
OF the disturbance had passed of to
the northeastward.
The rivers of the Montgomery dis
trict will rise considerably during the
next few days. but no very high stages
are expected. The rain was. however.
still falling at all river stations at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. making an
estimate Of the stages somewhat prob
lematicel. WITH the information at
hand yesterday morning II appeared
that stage of Is feet would not be
exceeded at Montgomery, but later in
the day Il was thought that stage
of four or ave feet higher than the
morning estimate would be reached IL
the rains continued their fall during
the night at the same rate.
The total rain for the two days end
ing at 4 o'clock p. m. yesterday at
some OF the river stations follow: Cam
ton, Ca, 2.e0anches; Resaca. Ca, sos
inches; Gadsden, 1855 inches; We
tumpka. 1853 inches; Montgomery,
$50 inches.
During the time Of this precipitation
the river rose from Z to feet at sew.

NTER-LINE
TARIFFS DUE
Inconvenience for State
Passengers.
COMMISSION WIRES ROADS
All Roads Are Selling the . ~
Cent Ticket.
Until Inter-line Tarins Are Received,
y Passenger Must Purchase New
Ticket when Changing from
One Road to Another.

As the result of a conference be-
tween Chairman Charles Henderson
and Associate w. d. Nesbitt. OF the
Alabama Railroad Commission. tele-
grams were sent yesterday by
Secretary s. p. Kennedy to. what
were prior to June / known as
the Scent passenger roads, asking
them when the new inter-line tariffs
would be sent out for use in Alabama.
SO far there has been no reply but
word Is expected every day In answer
to the inquiries.
This step is not to be taken as an
indication that these lines are not en-
forcing the two and one-half cent pas
senger rate in this State. 1t Is only
for the purpose of securing the early
convenience of passengers who wish to
purchase through tickets between
points in the State over lines one Of
which was charging three cents per
mile prior to June /.
It is necessary until the revised tar
iffs are issued. for passenger, say.
who wishes to travel from Birming-
ham to Troy. to buy now ticket at
Birmingham for Montgomery and here
re-purchase to Troy. In this instance,
the agent at Birmingham is not furn-
ished with new tariff and SO could
not without impracticable delay, give
the new rate applying to a point be-
yond his line. The old tariffs in use
are those which computed the rate on
the three-cent basis for the Louisville
and Nashville and two and one-half
cents for the Atlantic Coast Line.
When the proper adjustment 10 made
and the tariffs are placed in the
agents hands, the inter-line tickets
will be sold.
But every railroad In Alabama sold
on June ] straight tickets over their
own lines for two and one-half cents
and have been so selling since. This
is in accordance with the decision OF
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, dissolving the injunctions of
Federal Judge Jones, OF Montgomery
and restraining the legislative made
passenger and freight rates.

Pork Production In South.

There is an increased interest in pork production in the South due to a combination of causes. Low priced cotton and high-priced pork and other supplies usually drawn from the West are making their ln- fluence felt. The old idea that the South was at very great disad- vantage. as hog raising section, on account of her low corn yields, has retarded interest in this kind of farming.
 In the light of modern science as applied to live stock and demon strated by practically every ex- pertinent station that has tested the matter, corn is gradually giving way to other foods in the economic production of pork. Those foods almost without exception can be and are grown more satisfactory in the South than elsewhere.
 Recently the Louisiana Experi- ment station has taken up line of experiments in raising hogs, from which very valuable lessons are being demonstrated. This taken with the possible establishment of packing houses at Monroe, Shreve- port and Alexandria should be an eye opener to the farmers of this country to raise hogs instead of cotton.

MeIIiI0tus a Valuable Plant.

E. Napier of Union Springs, Ala. writing to the Cotton Journal upon
 mellilotus has the following to say:
 l was glad to see you had ad- vertised mellilotus seed. The quantity of this seed sold among your readers should be 5OO,OOO bushels instead of the 500 adver- tised. l know whereof l write. Mellilotus is the all-round best for age and soil-improying crop in the world. Gold does not hurt it; heat won't injure it. It is by far the best fertilizing plant known. The roots grow as large as a man $ wrist and runs down six or eight feet in the earth. It is a legume. feeds on the nitrogen of the air. When the plant has lived two years it dies down. roots and stalks re- maining on the land rot and decay and add an immense amount of
The Huttig news., 1909-01-23

humus to the soil. After once started it will re-seed itself if not kept grazed down, cut or plowed under before the seed have time to mature.
 It is easier to get stand of mellilotus than alfalfa or lucerne. and it is really as good as hay. Mellilotus seed cost $1OO per bushel; peck will SOW an acre. The seed should not be ploWed un- der, as they are small and the young plants will be smothered be- fore they force their way through a thick layer of earth. It is better to break the land thoroughly. then harrow, SOW the seed and cover with a large brush or top of a small tree drawn over the field The first crop may be cut for hay in April. Give your blow stock all they will eat at night and corn only at dinner and they will do their work and keep fat.
 It should be soWn in September, October or November. but it may be sown in the Spring also. but i'm mediate results are less satisfacto- ry. There is no danger of this plant becoming troublesome weed, as it may be killed out at any time with but little effort.

Grow Celery on Mdrshy Lands.

Perhaps the average intelligent man does not know that the finest and crispest celery is grown upon marshy spots where the soil is ex- clusively composed of routed vege- table substances. There are hun dreds of places in Arkansas that have swampy places that if drained and planted ia celery, would every year produce $500 worth of this choice table luxury. There is not one fourth enough celery grown to meet the market demand. The uSky lands can be purchased for nominal price, and if put in celery would make srlendid living for a family. The famous celery grown at Kalamazoo, Mich. is grown on the mucky, black, vegetable bogs, and the Germans have monopoly of this plant.
