Tuscaloosa, Ala., Jan. 23.—The most
disastrous tornado that has ever
swept over this section visited Mound-
ville, a town of 300 Inhabitants, 15
miles south of here yesterday morning
at 1 o’clock, and as a result twenty-
eight persons were killed and more
than one hundred Injured, aand every
business house, with the exception of
a small drug store, was completly de-
stroyed.
The tornado struck the city from
the southwest, dealing destruction as
it made its path, a quarter of a mile
wide, through the town.
By the force of the storm persons
were blown hundreds of feet from their
beds in the blackness of night. Through
terror, a father, mother and three chil-
dren fled from their home to seek ref-
uge, and In their excitement left a
five-year-old boy in bed. Yesterday he
was pulled from beneath some timber,
and thus far it is impossible to find
any other member of the family.
Bedding, carpets and wearing ap-
parel are scattered a distance of ten
miles through what was a forest, but
which Is now as clear as If It had been
cut by the woodman’s ax. Freight
cars were torn to splinters, the trucks
from t|em being hurled hundreds of
feet from the trac.
The depot, warehouses, gins, thirty
homes and store houses occupied by
R. L. Griffin, A. W. Wiggins & Son, W.
J. Domenick, A. D. Griffin and W. P.
Phifer, together with their stocks, were
completely destroyed. Where they
stood it is Impossible to find even the
pillars, upon which these structures
rested. .. ' /. -
Bales of cotton which were stored
in warehouses, were torn to atoms,
the fragments of lint lodging Ip trees
making it appear as if that section
had been visited byasnow storm.

Diversification of Crops—This Is con-
sidered one of the most Important lines
of work and will have for its object
demonstration work in the direction
of gauguing crops other than cotton
and of forage crops 4rith cotton. Di-
versification farms will be secured by
oo-operatlon with the farmers them-
selves. Thirteen of these farms will
be located In Texas, five in Louisiana,
three in Mississippi and several Ln oth-
er cotton-growing states. The fore-
going work will be looked after by the
Bureau of Plant Industry. The Division
of Entomology will continue its inves-
tigations on experiment farms. Thir-
teen farms for the growing of cotton
will be located in Texas and the in-
vestigations conducted will have for
their object the determination of num-
erous questions relative to combating
the boll weevil which have not yet
been definitely settled. The question
of the effect of fertilisers on the early
maturing of cotton will be considered.
It is planned that these farms shall
embrace about 100 acres each.

Washington, Jan. 25.—The Secretory Uni
of Agriculture has approved the plans th<
for the cotton boll weevil inve^tlga- Lei
Un in the Southwest, for which a ape- Te
dal appropriation of $250,000 has been str
made available. Secretary Wilson bo- we
ileveo that the best methods for meet- 1
Ung the ravages of the weevil are
the facta which have been accumulated
by the department during the last two
years in the matter of improvelng cul-
tural conditions, the planting of early
maturing varieties of cotton, substitu-
tion of other crops, etc. The plans ap-
proved, which were submitted by Dr.
R. T. Galloway, the chief of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, and Dr. Howard, the
chief of the Division of Entomology,
embody the following lines of investi-
gation:
Farmers’ Co-operaUve Demonstra-
Uon Work—This will involve the or-
ganization of farmers in Texas and ad-
jacent states in such a way as to se-
cure the cultivation of tracts of cot-
ton under specific instructions - from
the Department of Agriculture. Thus a
definite working plan will l^e given to
each farmer, the farmer himself
Houston, Texas, Jan. 23.—Another |
big canning industry is developing for j
the benefit of Texas fruit and truck
growers. Mr. I. V. Smith of Indiana
has been in the state since the 1st of
January looking over the truck grow-
ing section with the idea of establish- |
Lng some canneries at favorable loca- 1
tions. The land and Immigration de- :
partment of the Southern Pacific has
afforded Mr. Smith every assistance in !
his tour of inspection and given him 1
much valuable data. The only ques- /a
tion regarding the feasibility of his 1
plans at the outset was, could a loca- I
tion be secured accessible to enough
product to keep a cannery busy. Mr. 1
Smith operates a cannery at Delphi 'j
and another at Wabash, Ind., and they
have a dally output of 320,000 cans of
vegetables. The railroad officials as- |
sured the Northern gentleman that
whereas no one section of the state
within a reasonable distance of trans-
portation by team could keep a can-
ning establishment of that proportion
supplied with vegetables just now, if
the gentleman would make known his
intention to start a cannery there was
no doubt that the farmers and truck
growers would arise to the occasion
and keep such a plant running. “This
is what the truck growers have been
praying for,” eaid one official, “and you
start in to building your canning plant
and every farmer for miles around will
begin to raise truck, and next spring,
when your factory is completed, the
vegetables will commence pouring in.
The Indianlan was so well pleased
with the favorable conditions and en-
couragement received that he Is now
figuring on the fuel question, and if
that proves satisfactory he win locate
a plant. He stated that his plants In
the North were located in the coal belt,
where the price of fuel was only $2.30
a ton. Here Ln Texas he found soft
coal worth $7.50 per ton. He is now In-
vestigating a plan to use oil in place of
coal, and If the cost is not prohibitive
he will start a cannery In the state
at once. Shaking of the needs of such
industries in the state he said that
