DALLAS. Aug. 1S.-Mnlions of dol lars worth of property is destroyed but the loss of life resulting from the tropical hurricane will be compara tively small. according to advices which are coming over partly crippled telegraph wires. via Houston and by courier from Galveston tonight. The latest estimates of the number of dead in the island city itself placed the number of victims at fourteen. It is feared however, the loss of life in districts surrounding Galveston may be great in proportion to their lesser population.
 The gigantic sea wall stood between Galveston and the waters Of the gulf but residents in outlying rural com munities on the coastal plain did not have this protection. While the sea water ran deep in many of the streets the storm survivors tonight are suf- fering from a shortage of fresh water The mains leading to the supply wells at Alta Loma on the mainland. eight cen miles away. were broken, and every effort is being made No con serve the water supply which is fast diminishing.
 
 accurate account of the property damage resulting from the storm. Most of the authentic sources consulted, however are If the opinion the dam age at least will equal that wrought by the storm of 1900-fifteen millions. Railroads tonight announced they had begun moving all available men and machinery into the storm zone from north Texas to repair tracks. and wa ter mains but progress is slow.
 Many vessels have been capszed and several are reported destroyed.
 According to the first messenger to reach Houston from Galveston miles of the stricken city's streets are strewn with debris by the storm. More than five hundred houses were crush ed and demolished by the wind and tidal wave. A thousand feet of the seawall which protects the southern section of the city crumbled before the onslaught of the sea, hurled against it by the terrific force of the gale. which had been gaining head way all the way across the gulf The causeway. which connects Galveston with the outside world broke at tno section which contains the drawbridge and the city is isolated as far as raj communication is concerned.

In addition there was an enormous loss to cotton growers in the storm belt. some estimates stating that g ger cent of the crop in Centrel Texas was destroyed, placing the loss at millions. The oil fields also suffered severiT and it will probably take half million to replace the de stroyed derrieks, recap the un- roofed tanks. and repair the damag gcd machinery.
 A comparison with the 1900 storm was furnished by w. E. Maxson, gen. c-al superinte ndent of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. He teiegraphed from Hitchcock, that the cuff waters had been driven inland to that point. seventeen miles from Gal weston. and added that in other locali- ties the sea had enoroached three miles beyond it's mark of fifteen years ago.
 The concentration of United States regulars on tine Mexican border was a contribu ting cause Of the death list. Four soldiers were drowned in Gal weston and ten were lost in Texas City. The Fort Crockett camp was wiped out and the army transports McClelland and Poe, damaged. Mar tlli law was pfOCtaiHlSu ifl NaiNcStOIl and Texas City and in the latter place a large sanitary corps was organized by the military authorities.
 Port Arthur was hit hard by the storm. but only four of it's residents lost their lives. The exodus from that city was unusually prompt, Beaumont reporting that hundreds had come there. Sabine and Sabine Pass were reported as deserted and submerged
 The news Of the day and night was not entirely reassuring to marine in terests. The steamer Arapahoe weath cred the blow. and arrived safely al Key West. the dereIict steamer. M 4.

Lettuce and Radish Beds Are
Not Fashionable Now.
Vegetables VIII Be Planted ii
Straight Rows This Year.
Time TO PREPARE The son
Thousands Will Farm on g
Small Scale in Topeka.
Some Suggestions for Home
Garden Enthusiasts.

The small army of school children
and the thousands of other persons
who will indulge in back yard and
vacant lot gardening this summer in
Topeka will for the most part abandon
the lettuce the radiSh, and the onion
beds No, don't be alarmed, there
will be plenty of these vegetables, but
the vegetable bed is old fashioned and
straight rows will be the thing this
year.
The tendency nowadays is towards
time saving, and the old fashioned
vegetable beds required 20 be welded
by hand. The new method saves much
wear and tear on the back. Through
the means of a small tooth cultivator
or a hoe it is quick work stirring up
the soil along the rows.
Thorough Cultivation Pays.
There are many vacant lots in which
horse cultivation is possible in and
around Topeka. Horse cultivation is
recommended whenever possible. and
where the work is to be done mainly
by means of horse tools the garden
should be long and narrow with the
rows running the long way. The gar
den should have no paths across the
rows, but turning spaces should be
left at the ends. For hand cultivation
the rows can be much closer together,
and may run across the garden. Where
the distance bet leen the rows is less
than two feet, hand cultivation with
a wheel hoe is contemplated. If a
hand cultivator or wheel hoe is not
available the rows should be at least
two feet apart to give sufficient space
for the horse cultivator. Straight lines
should be followed. no matter what
method of culture is used.
1t pays to be neat in gardening. In
the small arden it is well to use
line in making the rows.
Too much emphasi~ cannot be
placed in careful preparation. If the

ground is sufficiently dry work of
blowing or spading may be begun i'm
mediately.
In the broadest sense the entire
garden is q seed bed, according to
W. r. Beattfe, assistant horticulturist,
bureau of plant industry. United
States department Of agriculture. As
the term seed bed" Is usually used 1t
applies to some specially prepared
place for starting plants.
After blowing or spading the next
important step is to smooth or pull
verize the soil If the ground be well
prepared, before planting the work
of caring for the crops will be ma
terially lessened- 1t is not sufficient
that the land be smooth and fine on
top. but the pulverizing process
should extend as deep as the plow-

Succession OF Crops.
NJ. F. Ahearn, associate professor
of horticulture at the State Agricu1-
tural college, is not only a strong ad-
vocate of growing vegetables in rows,
but believes in planting the different
crops in sections of a garden, accord
ing to their season of growth. This is
OF special advantage TO the person
with the small garden, for 1t gives
him an opportunity to have later
crops succeed early ones For in
stance, lettuce, radishes, and spinach
may be succeeded by celery, beets.
cabbage, potatoes or turnips or by
another crop of lettuce or radishes.
Besides, the work of cultivation will
be greatly lessened.
Mid-season crops are onions, cab
bage, cauliflower. corn and beets- In
the case of the slow maturing crops,
such as tomatoes, egg plants, and
peppers, the ground can be used but
once during the season.
Applies to Perennial Crops.
The perennial crops, such as aspara-
gus, rhubarb. and Strawberries, should
likewise be planted in rows rather
than in beds. If they are planted in
beds in the garden, II will be hard to
cultivate the garden around the bed
Moreover. crops planted in beds are
more easily affected by drouth.
light sandy soil is best for vege-
tables. though of course vegetables
will grow in other soils. Crops like
celery grow best in a muck or peaty
soil, while watermelons do we'll in
