Title A name given to the resource Tractorcade Occupies the Mall Description An account of the resource Hundreds of tractors paraded into Washington in February 5, 1979 to protest existing agriculture policies. The American Agriculture Movement organized this protest in 1979 after the 1st Tractorcade in 1978 did not bring changes they demanded. After slowly riding into Washington, the tractors were barricaded on the Mall where they had parked. Farmers stayed and occupied the Mall while police allowed tractors out for permitted demonstrations. Residents and Congressmen grew tired of the tractors and did not appreciate the damage caused on the Mall's grounds. When a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/200">blizzard shut down Washington on Presidents' Day</a>, the occupying farmers helped the city by plowing streets, rescuing stranded residents, and transporting medical staff to hospitals. Residents grew more sympathetic to the farmers' cause after the snowstorm. By March 1, 1979, the tractors began leaving the city and the Mall's ground re-opened for public use.

A cyclone visited Washington yesterday afternoon, unroofing houses in its fury, tearing up trees, smashing windows, and strewing its path with ruin more extensive than any windstorm that has occurred here in years. The storm was in many respects the most remarkable that was ever experienced here. It was confined to South Washington exclusively, and there it swept along a narrow path hardly 200 feet in width. It burst with its full fury, first along C street between Ninth and Tenth south-west, unroofing the houses there; then swept along B street, damaging the National Museum building, and unroofing the greater portion of the Fish Commission Building. From there it passed to the square between Four-and-a-half and Sixth streets and Maine and Maryland avenues, where it nearly demolished the foundry of George White and wrecked the mill of William P. Woods, besides unroofing a number of houses. In the Botanical Garden it leveled the shrubbery and almost demolished the large green houses, shattering the glass and overturning flowers into one indiscriminate mass of earth, flower pots and vegetation. The storm seemed to rise and fall as it passed. At one moment it would pass harmlessly over the roofs of houses and the next instant it would swoop down upon those adjoining, tearing them to pieces and sending timbers and other material flying in every direction. The storm occurred about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the rain that deluged the city was falling heaviest…. It swept up Maryland avenue from the river to Tenth street, where it began its work of devastation…. When the storm struck the Fish Commission building, on the corner of Sixth and B streets, it tore the slates from the roof and whirled them about in the air as if they had been so many leaves. But the damage was greatest in the square between Four-and-a-half and Sixth streets and Maine and Missouri avenues. The houses on the corner escaped uninjured, but a stable belonging to a man named Thompson was leveled to the ground. The next building to go was White's foundry. The front doors were blown in, the roof was torn from its fastenings, and the rear wall went down with a crash. Wm. P. Wood's mill, just behind White's foundry, and fronting on Maryland avenue, followed. A portion of its roof was lifted off and hurled clear over the roofs of the houses in Armory street, which were also lifted, and together they fell in the street, forming a complete barricade, blocking up the thoroughfare and the doorways of the unroofed houses. Then on sped the tempest, unroofing two residences on Maryland avenue, until it reached the Botanical Gardens. The magnificent row of poplins that stand on either side of the main walk were leveled in an instant. The limbs were twisted from the trees, while the ruin in the green house is almost irreparable. The wind blew from every direction at once, and while it sent one roof flying in a northerly direction, the next was carried in an opposite way. It was not of long duration. It passed almost instantly, and in several instances the affrighted people scarcely realized what had occurred until they saw the wreck and ruin about them and witnessed the passage of the storm in the distance…. The only damage done to the National Museum building was to the roof, and how extensive this is will have to be determined to0day. The roof of the north hall was perforated in several places and there are numerous and extensive cracks in it. The damage to the Fish Commission building was far more serious. The whole of the roof is damaged and part of it was taken away completely, while the windows on the north front were blown in…. When the storm first broke it blew out the gates of the yard at the Fish Commission Building, and a number of sea turtles that had been placed there for safe keeping, seeing the way clear and recognizing the storm as belonging to their native elements, made a break for liberty. They were slowly making their way over the railroad tracks when they were discovered by the watchman. Then ensued a chase between the guardian and the turtles. At first the watchman attempted to herd them as he would cattle, but that was a failure. Finally, after much perspiration-inducing work, he succeeded, by dragging some and driving others, in getting them safely corralled again.
