TORNADO BRINGS MANY DEATHS Second To Visit Southern States Within a Week ? Property Loss Tremen dous Gainesville, G?., April 6. ? A violent spring windstorm In three furious minutes today transform ed the business section here into a blazing shambles, killing 122 persons to 'bring to approximately 300 the dead in the tornadoes lashing the south. The blow fell here even as rescue workers, braving rains and sporadic fires, worked to remove bodies from the devastated weBt side residential section of Tupelo In northeastern Mississippi where 125 were known dead. Oainesville's known dead in cluded 10 whose bodies were burned beyond recognition in an outbreak of fire that followed the abrupt storm. Rescue workers said they fear ed the death list would run still higher as wreckage was cleared away. At Tupelo the rescue squads said the toll might reach 200 but only 126 deaths had been estab lished definitely. r ear* Ada to Horrors Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, and South Carolina also felt tor nadlc winds but their full fury centered here and at Tupelo^ Fires, adding to the horror of the scene here, hampered the work of rescue parties* and relief auth orities said It might be days be fore all the bodies were removed. There were no official estimates of the property damage in the storms but rescue workers said it might reacli above $8,000,000. Prom 1,500 to 2,000 were report ed Injured in the stricken areas. The dead in the tornadoes that followed a dotted and Irregular path from Arkansas to South Car olina yesterday and today brought to nearly 375 the toll of storms In the south this year. Last week 43 were killed in blasts that cen tered at Cordele, Ga. Witnesses said the storm struck like a black horror with the roar of many locomotives. Torrential rains followed the wln^s. A moment later the business district of this thriving textile manufacturing center was virtual ly a shambles. Entire Business Area Hit There was not a building in the downtown district which was un touched and most of them, a few minutes before the scene of busy workers commencing their daily tasks, were reduced to piles of wreckage. Screams and cries from the in jured and the fires gave an eerie aspect to the scene. Fire engines and ambulances were trapped in their efforts to get through the streets by the lit ter of debris. Water mains were burst adding to the difficulties of fire fighters. Food and clothing stores were demolished and a shortage of sup plies loomed as an added hard ship as relief agencies hurried help here. * 30 Injured At Anderson Six states suffered from the storms. Thirty were injured in Anderson, S. C.. but early reports of one dead there were later dis proved. Undertaking establishments here were overtaxed and crowded with grief-stricken relatives of the dead. While the most of those dead were whites, many of the victims of the tornadoes both here and to the south were negroes. Clinton Schley, disaster relief chairman for the Red Cross at Memphis said physical damage in the 40 blocks wrecked at Tupelo would be between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. P. T. A. Meets Mrs. J. Y.

JUSTICE HERIOT CLARKBOX FARMERS HOLD MASS MEETING L. B. ALTMAN, DISTRICT AGENT SPEAKS TO ONE THOUSAND OR MORE Crowd Too Large For Court House ? Meeting Moved To Union Warehouse ? Greatest Interest Shown In Ex planation* ? Committee Meetings Held That Morn ing ? Illustrates Farm Co-operative Plan "In order for a farmer to go-! operate," laid Mr. L. B. Altman, District Agent, who addressed the farmers mass meeting held in the Union Warehouse Thurs day afternoon, he should reduce his tobacco base 30% and his cot ton base 35%. For this reduc tion. he will be paid 5c per pound for the base poundage of the acres removed from these crops. This would figure approximately $12.50 per acre for Cotton and $40.00 per acre for Tobacco. In' order to receive these payments, however, he would have to devote a minimum of 20% of his soil de pleting crops to soil conserving and soil building *Fops before he would be In line to receive the above payments. Farmers will receive in addi tion to this payment, according to Mr. Altman. certain payments for soil building practices. The maximum payments can be as much as $1.00 an acre for each acre devoted to soil conserving and soil building crops. Practlc- j es for which soil building pay ments will be made are possibly I plowing undor green crops, ter racing. applying lime to acid fields, and etc. The following crops were clas-1 sifted by him as soil depleting, crops: Corn. Cotton, Tobacco J Truck and Garden, Potatoes, Sor ghum, Small drain and Grasses if cut for hay," while the follow ing crops are classified as soil conserving crops: Annual Win ter Legumes, when pastured or harvested for hay. Summer Le gumes. except when seed are har vested to be crushed for oil. An nual Grasses, not harvested for hay or seed. Winter Cover Crops, including rye, barley, oats, and small grain mixture!, winter pas tured or not. and turned In as green manure, or harvested and followed by summer legumes. Crop land planted to treed since Jan. X. 1934. In order for a farmer to com ply for this Program, he explain ed. his entire farm must be In Compliance. He recommended that each farmer desiring to co operate in this Program. All out on paper the way In which he ex pects to use each acre of land on his farm for the year 1936 and the way each acre was used In 1935. He will be notified thru the County Agent's office his base on toBkcco and cotton and the number of acres to plant In each crop after the recommended re duction Is made. He should be careful In this for the total acres on the contract must equal the total acres in the farm. There fore, It Is essential to list the acres in pasture, acres in wood land. acres in homestead, acres in truck cropB, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, oats. hay,| and soil building crops. This in- ( formation must be available for filling out the work sheet which will be the first move to be taken by the farmer in order <o cooper ate with the New Program. The following Is given as an example of a farm that has 50 acres of cultivated land and has a yield of 725 pounds tobacco and 206 pounds of cotton per acre. In order to know how to figure the soil depleting crops for this i year, the base of both cotton and tobacco, is taken, and add this to the acres of other soli depleting I acres planned for planting this I year. Base Acres Planted Per Acre Benefit Total Pajrm'l $170.55 Twenty pel" cent or 1-5 of the 44 base depleting crops equals 8.8 acres that must be planted to soil conserving or soil building crops before the $170.65 can be collected. To comply In this case, the grower counls the 'seven acres in soy beans or cow peas and then follows the oat crop with cow peas, soy beans or velvet beans and plows the entire plant in next fall. As there are only 42 of the 50 acres cultivated, there is a bal ance of eight acres that can be planted in soil building crops that will cause the farm to be In line for soil building benefits. ??? oall+fl .to fat hold In the Court House, but the approximate 1000 farmers pres ent would hot gain standing room. ?o they were moved over to the' Union Warehouse where the Soil Conservation Act was discussed for approximately one t\our by Mr. L. B. Altman The farmers were very Interested In the New Program as proven by the fact' that they stood up for more than one hour to listen to the talks and learn as much as possible \ about the New Act. Two meetings were held in ' Loulsburg Thursday. April 2, to ? explain and discuss the new Farm t Conservation Act passed by Con gress for the 1936 crop. I, In the morning, the Township'' and County Committeemen and < Directors of the Franklin County ? Farm Bureau met in the Court 1 House. The Soli Conservation < Altman, District Agent. .^During his discussion the Committeemen were given the first Bulletin pub- ! iiahed governing the Administra- ; Hon of this Act. It wM read I through and dlicussed. ' JUSTICE CLARK- r SON TO SPEAK At Layman's League, of Episcopal Church, Sup per Friday Night April ? 17th On Friday evening, April 17th, at 7:30 o'clock.
