DEATH IN A STORM.
tContinued from Page one.)
Formed Near Seward.

EOrme0 n ear seward.
The tornado formed northwest of
the city and swept across the coun-
try, taking many buildings along its
course. 1t struck the western or resi-
dence portion of Seward and swept
everything in it's path. 1t came onto
the town so suddenly that only part of
the people had opportunity to run to
cellars, other places of refuge.
Those killed generally were caught in
the wreckage of their homes, which
were quickly crushed.
The tornado, after passingg through
Seward, continued on its course to the
northwest, doing great damage to
rural homes. Reports say that the
towns of Lushton, Grafton, Utica and
McCool were in the path of the twister,
points was destroyed by the storm.
Appeals to Lincoln for Help.
An appeal was sent to Lincoln before
the one remaining telephone wire was
lost for physicians and undertakers
and they left at 1890 o'clock.
Reports from surrounding sections
indicate that the effects of the tornado
were felt over a wide range of terri
tory but until telephone communica-
ton is restored the number of casual
ties, if any, will not be known
The tornado was followed in Seward
by hail and rain storm.
Several of the business places. not
injured by the storm, were turned into
temporary morgues and hospitals. Sew
eral of those injured are in a serious
condition and it is believed several
may die.
Ball Park Pavilion a Wreck.
Three hundred people were witness
ing a baseball game on the west side
of the city until within minutes OF
the storm and scattered to their homes.
The pavilion at the ball park was OBJ
liberated by the tornado.
Reports coming from towns west
and north indicate that the destruc
ton of property was extensive in sew
eral places. McCool Junction and To-
marc being the hardest hit. Four per-
sons are reported killed and several
injured at Tomaro.
The first report from Seward came
to the Burlington offices here from
the train dispatcher of that place. 1t
said at least nine had been killed and
a large number injured.
A request came to Lincoln to have
two undertakers go to the town and
they prepared to leave at midnight.
A number of physicians also prepared
to go.
McCooI junction Damaged.
A report says McCool Junction was
badly damaged, but there We're no
fatalities.
Frank Upton prevented the wreck
of a Burlington passenger train, which
he tagged on the outskirts of town.
A telephone pole and other wreckage
had fallen across the tracks and Tip
ton discovered the debris in time to
prevent the train crashing into it.
Near McCool Junction, the home of
Thomas RiOrdan, a wealthy farmer.
was blown into the Blue river, some
distance away. One child was drowned,
but other members of the family es-
capped with bruises and a wetting. A
mile beyond a farmer was struck by
lightning and killed.
The path of the tornado was from
a few hundred yards to half a mile

Consequently this demand is supplied
very often by farmers who are 200 or aoo
1t is well known that some truckers IN
the Birmingham district have made con-
siderable money in the past 10 or 10 years
Some of them coming to Birmingham with
practically no money and now own valu-
able lands contiguous to Birmingham, 1t
should be understood that the industries
of the Birmingham district employ YER
table army of common. as well as skilled
labor. 1t is known that the district pays
out to such labor enormous sums of
money every week. Most of this class 0.
labor do not produce anything to eat but
do produce the money to buy what they
want and make valuable customers for
every one who tills the soil
In growing truck in the Birmingham
district one should diversity his crops,
pursue the proper methods of rotation, SO
that he has something to sell every day in
the year. The most successful truckers
in the Birmingham district are foreigners,
who cultivate their vegetable gardens, on
the intensive plan and have one crop fol-
lowing another constantly and there Is
not a, single day, except Sunday, In the
entire year but what you will see their
wagons coming to town with some green
produce. Consequently these foreigners
become independently rich in few years
cultivating a few vacant city lots.
1t appears that the most profitable veg
etable crops grown in the Birmingham
district are the more staple vegetables,
such as beans, beets, cabbage, garden
corn, lettuce, squash, onions, mustard,
turnips, potatoes tomatoes and radishes
At the date of this writing the writer hap
pens to know a Bulgarian who has mar
keted in the last 30 days $500 worth of
turnips from less than one acre. Strange
to say, he has been about the only one in
birmingham who has had nice turnips to
sell during that period. The key to sue
cess in truck farming is diversified crops
and systematic successive planting. These
successive paintings would always cover
up losses that every trucker must bear
when>the market is glutted with any par
ticular variety of vegetable.
For example, the writer has seen the
Birmingham market glutted with to-
matoes, where the price would decline to
25 cents per half bushel basket, and in
less than a week afterwards the market
would be 81 per basket, SO it is easily seen
that truck farmer who has crop COM
ing on continually, one behind another.
that the chances of a failure or loss of
money is reduced to a minimum.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

Hence 1t is now being largely used
throughout the United States for inoculat-
ing the soil for alfalfa, and through its
use a great many sections are now grow
ing alfalfa that never produced It before.
Crimson clover is another valuable rank
growing annual clover that is succeeding
in Alabama and is now considered of
great value as "a green manuring crop.
Where planted in the early fall it will ma
ture its growth during May. in time for
plowing under for any crop to follow.
To secure the best results with this plant
the soil must be inoculated, but inoeula-
tion with this plant generally takes place
naturally the second season and often the
first years growth will not be satisfac-
tory, but where the same soil is planted
the second year in the same crop much
better results are obtained. Another val
liable plant belonging to the clover fam
ily and well known throughout the south
Is Lespedeza, Commonly known as Japan
clover. 1t is an annual and succeeds in
most any situation, produces splendid
hay. but it's chief mission would seem to
be to furnish an abundant pasturage dur
ing hot. dry periods in the latter part of
summer and early fall.
Vegetable and Fruit Production
Alabama is already a great producer of
vegetable truck of most every character.
Soils abound that are capable of being
brought lIIO a nlS1 STATE OF cult1NallOHs
enormous yields are possible, so that the
industry OF truck growing is now assum
ing large proportions. The Birmingham
district especially affords great opportuni-
ties for truck growing. 1t not only pos
sesses the correct soil, climate and ample
rainfall. but furnishes a market in the
city of Birmingham and surrounding ter
ritory that is one of the largest con-
sumers of farm products in the south.
The advantage of good home market
is especially appreciated by the small
trucker, where he can market his stuff by
wagon, pocket the money and avoid the
great risk to be run in shipping away
to commission merchants who have but
miles away. All of the staple vegetables
may be grown in the Birmingham district
and with great profit. There is really
nothing of moment that cannot be pro-
