Injuries from the fire were remarkably few, police and firemen agreed, consider ing the magnitude of the area swept. The people fled before the flames as from an invading army and so in tense was the heat that preceded the onwrard shooting tongues of flames that few could remain in houses un til the flames reached them. Heat drove out hundreds who sought to stay and save a few more personal effects. . k Here and there fire brands sailed ahead of the blaze firing houses as far as a block ahead of the wall of fire that swept out North Jackson street towards Ponce De Leon. The scene on North Jackson itself a part of The better residence section, was duplicated in a score of other places. At first the fire wae far, away and only a pillar of smoke that rose out of sight in the skies announced its presence. People gathered in their yards and many went to aid those in the fire zone, onTy to hurry back to save tneir own belongings. Gradually the flames advanced northward along Jackson.

Soils derived from granites con tain considerable sand. Such soils are found very extensively in the re glon east of the Mississippi river. s “Can these sandy loam soils of the South be made .to produce abundant f crops?, v “The answer is ‘Yes.’ Proof is pro vided from .the experience of thou sands of farmers. They won through proper farm management and fertili-* zation. Many fanners of the South are today getting a bale of cotton to the acre where they once got only one- third of a bale. They are producing from 50 to 75 bushels of corn on the same land which a few years ago pro duced only 15 to 20 bushels. “What is the secret of their suc cess? _TTs it In the change In the methods of cultivation? There has been con siderable improvement in this respect. “Has it been due to deeper plowing? This has been a help. “la It due to crop rotation?
