An In tense but purely local tornado snapped off a mile and a half of tele graph poles three miles south of here late yesterday, uprooted fruit trees, scattered haycocks, shattered window panes, and unroofed many lightly built barns and sheds. Such clouds of flying sand and even sizable gravel followed the fun nel shaped cloud that the northbound Shasta Limited, which was lashed by the tail of the storm, had to slow down because the engineer's cab was filled with dust and he could not see ahead. A heavy downpour of rain suc ceeded the wind, scouring the gulches until they were impassable for teams, yet at Redding Itself there was not a drop of rain and scarcely a gust of wind. . Telephone and telegraph poles on one side of the railroad were mowed down while those on the other side were untouched. "If the Btorm south of Redding last night was' a true tornado," said Prof. Alexander McAdle, of the weather bureau, when he was ac- nualnted with the details, "It Is the rirst one I have ever heard 01 in ail foruia. "However. I shall wnnt my own reports on the full phenomena before I am willing to admit that this was the first California tornado report- il." SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS TO;?.

Ihe Kyptian bale or cotton has t n accepteii as the world's know n standard, and It Ik a well fact that American cot tun growers are losing large sums of money as a result ot their failure to properly bale and grade their cotton. It Is even claimed that In the I'nlted States one half of the real value of the cotton crop Is lost to the farmers through poor selling methods, am lack of fiuanelal facilities. In Egypt the government has established the Bank of Egypt, which has done much to assist the cotton growers of that country In the Important task of fi nancing their crop. The sub-comnilt- tee will secure a complete report of the working on this Institution. The Egyptian method of baling, grading and marketing their crop will be closely studied. This sub-committee will remain In Egypt until the mid dle of June, according to present plans. They left Home armed with letters of introduction from the Hank of Home and other European finan cial Institutions. A second sub-committee left for tho south of Italy and Sicily to study fruit raising and marketing methods of that section. Three sub-committees have gone to the north of Italy, and at Florence will separate to study the three sub jects of rural credit banks, land credit or mortgage institutions, and ro-operatlve societies for producing and marketing farm products, prin cipally the co-operative dairies of the north of Italy, which have made great strides in recent years.
