TORNADOES ADD
TO FLOOD TERROR
Tornadoes Level Houses and
Wreck Churches in Mississippi
100000 Trapped

Memphis-Tornadoes and violent
electrical storms following earth
quakes spread fear and added a new
terror in the food districts of south
ern states.
More than 200 cities, towns and
villages have been flooded in the
seven states swept by torrents Of the
Mississippi and other rivers; 337,S54
are homeless; 100000 more who re
fused to heed warnings are trapped
in the upper stories of their homes
awaiting rescue by boats and OF the
337,S54 refugees only 1888 have
been taken to concentration camps.
The death list stands above the 300
mark.
In three states-Missouri, Louisi
ana and Arkansas total OF 2,7OO,-
O69 acres of farm lands are inundated.
In all more than $4,000 square miles
of land has been flooded.
A governmental party including
Secretaries Herbert Hoover and
Dwight Davis were given first hand
impression of the food disaster en-
route to NatcheZ from Vicksburg
when their boat collided with what
was later learned to be a tree. It
was then the government officials
learned they were cruising through q
wooded section with the upper parts
of tee trees the only thing in view.
Tornadoes Add Terror.
Violent windstorms, lightning and
heavy rainfall caused some prop
erty damage but no additional loss of
life, reports received here tonight say.
The earthquakes centered around
Memphis and New Madrid, Mo. The
quakes were felt in an area 100
miles west and south of here, but
caused little damage. In the New Ma
drid area the quakes were slighter,
and caused practically no damage ex-
cept to jar the nerves of the residents
who feared that they were in some
way connected with the Mississippis
rampage.

A beginning towards the develop
ment of forest strips and public parks
along the highways in Minnesota has
been made through the passage by
the recent legislature of bill per-
hitting st. Louis county to purchase
strips of land along the highways, for
public use. The bill applies only to
one county, but if the plan meets with
favor it may be extended to other
counties in the future Not more than
$4,000 year may be spent for land,
and the land must be within 200 it.
of the highway right-of-way.
The State Highway department has
always favored the preservation and
propagation of trees along the high
ways, but it has not been practical
to have trees on the right-of-way
when the land Immediately adjoining
the right-of-way is clear, as the high
way trees cause snow to drift and in
terfere with travel. Trees Immediate
ly outside the right-of-way, on the
other hand, will help to prevent snow
blockades as well as adding to the
enjoyment of travel.

When screw-worm flies, a species
of blowfly, are abundant they are
strongly attracted to the slightest
scratch or blood spot on the skin of
livestock. These cause losses esti-
mated at 100000 or more annually
through attacks on livestock, says the
United States Department of Agficul-
ture. The department has for some
time been trying to find material
that will kill the larvae and prevent
reinfestation by repelling the flies.
Of all the materials tested as repel-
Tents against the screw-worm fly, pine
oil, crude turpentine, pine tar, and
pine-tar oil are among the best. Pine
tar oil, because of it's cheapness,
availability, nontoxicity, and adhe-
siveness, is regarded by Investigators
as the best of the materials tested
for use upon wounds of domestic ami
mails to protect them against screw
worm flies.

There are now 1,252,126 farms in

States Department of Agriculture. The
estimate is based on returns made by
county agricultural agents throughout
the country and shows 126 per cent
increase over the 553,O0S sets esti-
mated to be on farms July, 1925. Iowa
led the states with $4,000 farm radio
sets, or an increase of 100 per cent

of increase, however, was shown in

If young pigs show goiter symp-
toms, feed them iodized salt daily in
place of the regular salt. In goiter
areas, potassium iodide is given to
sows during the pregnant period as a
preventive measure. One ounce is
dissolved in 2 quarts of water. One
teaspoonful of the solution for every
6 sows is about the right DOSE The
sows are given the solution daily for
a period of at least months during
pregnancy. 1t practically never fails

1t is advisable to have horses teeth
examined by a competent veterinarian
at least once a year. Generally all
that will be required is to file off the
long, sharp corners which are due to
uneven wearing. This roughness first
causes sore tongues or cheeks, fol-
lowed by lack of proper mastication
together with digestive troubles
Older horses particularly are often
much benefited by proper attention
to the teeth.
