INDIANA CYCLONE
ROCKS NEW ALBANY
ESTIMATED THAT EIGHTY DIED
AS STORM RAGED-$1,5oo,o 900
DAMAGE.
OVER 800 HOMES DESTROYED
Forty-three Bodies Dug From Ruins,
and More than 200 Injured
Mayor Organizes Relief
Workers at Once.

New Albany, Ind.-Over SO persons
were killed and probably the list will
reach 100, and nearly 200 were known
to have been injured by storm that
swept over this place late Friday az
ternoon, demolishing scores of resi-
dences and many industrial plants.
Forty-three bodies have been dug
from the ruins and it is estimated
that this number will be more than
doubled.
The lighting system for the resi-
dence section of the city was put out
OF commission by the storm, and the
work of rescue is proceeding slowly
In addition to the bodies taken out
to the undertaking establishments
many were carried to private homes
The storm struck the Corydon pike
about two miles from New Albany
and moved southwest. Entering the
city at State street, near Haly, it cut
through three blocks. At the inter
section of State and Pearl streets it
left the ground and then struck II
again at Vincennes street and the
the Charleston road, nearly a mile
away At that point the dwellings In
three blocks were demolished
In its progress along the Corydon
pike it uprooted hundreds Of trees and
destroyed many small houses, many
Of whose occupants were injured.
Estimates Dead at 100.
A. M. Floyd, New Albany manager
Of the Southern Telephone Co., est
mated the number ofdead at 100 and
asserted that it might reach 200 The
estimate was made. he said, after a
hurried inspection Of the storm-swept
area, and was based upon the condi.
ton of the wreckage and the number
Of persons reported missing.
Circuit Judge John c. Paris said AZ
persons were known to be dead and
that this number would be largely In:
creased. The majority of those killed
and injured, said the Judge, were
white people.

Fully 800 homes have been destroy

Clemson College Bulletin)
AS soon as the onions are three or
four inches high they should be cul-
tivated, using an ordinary wheel hoe.
1t is very necessary to continue this
cultivation, especially after every rain,
until the onion begins to bulb. II the
onion field Is allowed to become badly
infested with grass or weeds 1t will be
very expensive to eradicate them.
Therefore, 1t Is necessary to destroy all
grass and weeds as soon as they ap-
pear.
Onions are harvested soon after the
neck begins to shrivel and the top
bends over and commences to turn
yellow. The onions are then pulled
up by hand, the tops wrung off in the
field and the bulbs placed in half BUSH
ell baskets. They are then transferred
to fiat crates three feet wide and four
feet long, the sides being four inches
high and the ends five inches high. The
bottom of the crate Is made Of lattice,
leaving one-half inch between the
strips for an air space.
These crates are stacked one on top
of another In shed where the onions
are allowed to remain until danger of
freezing weather; they are then placed
In storage or sold.
Air Circulation.
The object Of having the ends of
the crate one inch higher than the
sides Is to afford a free circulation
of air when the crates are placed on

FARMERS KEEP BOOKS
Ascertain Various Sources From
Which They Derive Income.
Many Men Who Have Been Induced to
Analyze Their Business by Use
of Farmers Bulletin Are Now
Keeping Records.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
By the use Of blanks in Farmers
Bulletin 661 an increasing number of
farmers are analysing their businesses
In such way as to ascertain the vari-
GUS sources from which they derive
their income, the ways in which they
spend their money, the total income
from the farm, and the amount which
should be charged off for interest on
investment. In this way many OF
these farmers are for the first. time
making use Of practical bookkeeping
methods.
County agents also are making much
use of this bulletin in their work.
They take it to the farmer, sit down
with him, and work out with him
complete analysis of his business, so
that he is able to see exactly in what
respects he is losing money and in
what respects he Is making 1t. Fur
thermore, these blanks are frequently
used when farmers write to the de-
partment for advice and assistance. In
such cases 1t Is customary to send
the inquirer the bulletin with the re-
quest for him to analyze with its aid
his business. The information thus OBJ
tanned is compared with similar in
formation on file in the department
and the specialists in the office OF
farm management are thus enabled to
point out the mistakes which are caus-
ing trouble in any one individual case.
II NAV be found, for example, that
dairyman Is spending from three to
four times as much money for labor
as other farmers conducting business
on q similar scale.
To secure the necessary data that
enable the department to determine
whether or not farmer Is conducting
his business as efficiently In any one
respect as he should, extensive farm
SURVEYS are made in representative To-
calities. A group Of from 500 to 700
contiguous farms is selected and a
detailed analysis Of the business of
each one OF these made by trained ex-
merits. They ascertain what the In
vestment is, how much Of 1t is In land
and buildings, and how much In live
stock. machinery, feed, supplies, etc.
The production of the farm in crops
and live stock is next studied, and the
returns from the sales of all products
ascertained. The survey also includes
an estimate Of the amount Of deprecia-
tion Of the buildings, work stock, ma
chinery. ETC., on the farm. With this in

BUILDING FLOOR OF CEMENT
First Excavate Ground for Distance OF
Eight or Ten inches and Fill

In constructing a cement floor the
ground should be excavated for a depth
Of 8 or 10 inches and filled in with
broken stones, cinders or other hard
porous material to make strong foun-
dalton and to act as a drain and thus
keep the floor dry. When this material
is tamped to solid bed, concrete
slab about three inches thick is poured
over 1t, after which it Is given finish
ing coat of cement to make 1t smooth.
1t Is advisable to pitch the floor to
drain, and to fit 1t with an outlet,

top of each other. This will leave an
air space of about one and One-half
inches between the onions and the bot
tom of the crate above.
The old method of curing onions was
to gather them by hand as soon as they
were mature, throwing three or four
rows together and allowing them to dry
partially for a few days.
The best varieties Of onions to grow
in the South for commercial purposes
are White Pearl and Prize Taker-
These are onions Of large size, attrac.
tive appearance and very mild flavor.
Bermuda onions may be grown In some
sections of the South profitably. The
Crystal Wax is probably the most sat
isfactory of the Bermuda type.
Important Truck Crop.
The onion is one of the most I'M
portant of our truck crops. Many
carloads are shipped into this state
every year from southern and northern
points, yet onions can be grown to per-
lection In this state. They thrive best
on very fertile, sandy loan soil. On
clayey soil they will grow fairly well,
but they are much more difficult to cul-
tivate than on a sandy loan and the
yield is never as great. In selecting
land for onions, care should be taken
not to select a field previously grown
in grain, as the grain will volunteer
and cause considerable trouble, coming
up at about the same time that the fall
onion seeds terminate.
