TAMPA Is WHIPPED
BY A SEVERE STORM

TAMPA. Fla, April 2s.-For a brief
time today this city was whipped by a
wind that blew out of the northwest.
For a few minutes the wind gauge at
the weather bureau registered a 5s-niIe
velocity. Signs and poles were blown
down and the tin roof swept from q
building downtown. Shipping in the har-
Dor ran to safety and on the craft at
the docks there was a busy time getting
things snugged up.

of peas and q gallon of sorghum and
sow in drills 10 inches to feet apart.
Alfalfa should only be seeded in the
fall. You should grow cowpeas on the
land this summer and turn under to
enrich the soil. Apply at least two tons
of raw crushed lime rock. Fertilize
the alfalfa with a mixture containing
. to per cent nitrogen and 10 per cent
phosphoric acid. Use 700 to 500 pounds
per acre. Put the fertilizer in the
ground before the alfalfa is seeded. Pro-
vide a firm seed bed, inoculate the seed
and use at the rate of % to 80 pounds
Ter acre, covering with a weeder.
Sudan grass may be grown any time
after the ground warns up. 1t is an an
nual. 1t may be cut from two to three
times, depending on seasonal conditions.
1t will yield anywhere from 1-2 to 1 I-2
tons per cutting. Sudan grass looks
very much like Johnson grass but it
can be easily eradicated. We would not
attempt to grow Johnson grass under
any circumstances as it is exceedingly
difficult to eradicate.
We think you can grow millet to adj
vantage. There is no better variety
than the German millet.
FERTILIzING COTTON IN ALA
BAMA,
Fl. ID. s., Jasper, Ala writes: Would
like your advice in regard TO the fertiliza-
tion OF cotton. Our intention was to use 400
pounds OF a 1881 to the acre, putting 100
pounds at intervals while the crop is grow
ing. We nave applied limestone to the soil.
We have been told that 1t is necessary to
apply all the fertilizer at one time under
roll weevil conditions. We have not had
the boil weevil but expect it this season.
a Al chn he
fertilizer to use under cotton under
existing conditions. If situated as you
are we would put not less than 800
pounds of this fertilizer under the cot
ton at the time of planting. Some bene-
fit has been observed in our expert
ence from making the second or side
application to cotton shortly after 1t has
been chopped out to stand. The man
ner of applying fertilizer to cotton de-
ponds also on the conditions you are
called on to meet We think your
friend is right in advising that under
boil weevil conditions all the fertilizer
should be applied under the drill row.
Your chances of raising a crop Of cot
ton in the presence Of this pest de-
ponds on your securing an early nIatur-
ing variety such as Covington Toole
and fertilizing IL so as to force it to
maturity as rapidly as possible
Under boil weevil conditions there is
no chance of securing a large crop Of
cotton or a top crop. The formula you
propose to apply being high in phos-
phoric acid will aid in hasvenng the
maturity Of your crop and 8 per cent
of nitrogen will help stimulate a rapid
development during the early summer
If seasonal conditions are favorable.
In sections where the boil weevil has
not appeared as yet we would be in
clned to use some fertilizer as a size
application where as much as 500
pounds per acre is to be applied. Much
depends on the natural fertility of the
soil and on thin sandy lands we think
ii more important to make side APP
plications than on heavier soils. On
soils we'll supplied with vegetable mat
ter we would put all the fertilizer under
the drill row.

OUT AS INSPECTOR
AT SOLDIERS HOME
Major George s. Smith Presented Res
ignation, Which Was Accepted.

The resignation Of Major George
s. Smith. formerly OF this city, as in
spector OF the Soldiers home at Nor
oton, was received Tuesday by the
Soldiers hospital board at a meeting
in the governors office in the capitol.
The resignation was accepted.
There were present at the meeting
Governor Holcomb, Adjutant General
George NJ. Cole, Surgeon General p.
H. Ingalls, and Major John H. Thatcher.
The business of the meeting was
practically confined to the action taken
on the resignation of the inspector. It
was decided not to appoint a Sue
cessor to Major Smith, but to transfer
the duties Of the position of inspector
to Capt. Edward E. Pelton, the add
Jutant. By this arrangement the
board saves 800 a month, the amount
of salary paid the Inspector.
The action of the board means the
aholishing Of the office of inspector
of the home, but 1t is not expected
to cause any trouble in the manage
ment. The board considered this mat
ter fully before 1t decided to transfer
the duties TO the adjutant. As a mat
ter OF fact the position of inspector
was created just before Major Smith
was appointed to it, and he was the
first occupant.
The board has made arrangements
to-, advertise for mattresses for the
beds IN the dormitories of the home.
It Is said there has been a marked
Improvement in conditions at the Sol
diers' home.
Major Smiths resignation is a di-
rect result of the complaints made
early in the fall by inmates of the
home at Noroton. Commander Girls
void Of Guilford of the Connecticut
department of the @. A. R., called on
Governor Holcomb and it was decided
to have a special investigation. The
hospital board went to the home,
where the inmates had an opportunity
to present their grievances first hand
1t developed at the hearing that the
chief complaints were against the
cooking and the conditions in the dor
mitory. Also 1t was stated by some
who spoke before the board that Col
onei Robbins was doing the best he
could, but that Major Smith at times
took affairs into his own hands. The
cook has since retired and now Major
Smith goes.
Major Smith is we'll known in this
city, which was his home for many
years, his residence being on Laurel
Hill avenue and his place of business
on Commerce street. He was in the
tea, coffee and spice business He is
a member of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G..
A. R., of this city.
