GULF HURRICANE
HITS GALVESTON
City in Darkness, State in
Suspense, as 5000
Flee Inland.

Dallas, Tex. Aug. 16.-Full effects of
the terrific West Indian hurricane
which passed through the Yucatan
Channel Sunday were felt at Gulf coast
points late to-day. when the wind
reached a velocity of seventy miles an
hour. Alarm was felt for the safety
Of various ports, notably Galveston,
concerning which disturbing reports
were circulated.
Telegraph wires 20 the port went
down at $50 tonight. The last mes
sage said:
"The tropical storm which struck
Galveston to-day, while very severe,
had caused no serious damage or loss
Of life up to 6 o'clock this evening.
"The Galveston sea wall, built as a
precaution against such hurricanes,
withstood the fury of the storm and
showed no signs Of weakening. The
storm struck the city late in the fore
noon at a velocity of thirty-four miles
an hour.
At 8 o'clock tonight the highest We
locity averaged 65 to 73 miles an hour,
heavy rain tell throughout the day and
tonight the streets are filled with
water to the curbing.
II was estimated that five thousand
persons left Galveston during the last
thirty-six hours. Practically all homes
on the beach had been evacuated and
the hfesaving crew was held in readl-
ness. The city was in darkness to-
night.
Rising tides which flooded the rail-
road between Sabine and Port Arthur
were reported at Beaumont to have
trapped two women and three men at
Sabine. The women refused to leave
after all other inhabitants had de-
serted the town. Other coast resorts,
including Port Bolivar, Caplen and
Follower. were reported under water
Galveston's isolation caused the
greatest anxiety in the rest OF the
state. However. the fact that the wind
at o'clock was blowing from the
north and that the water, which had
backed into the streets, was from the
bay side of the island tonight led
those who are familiar with the geo
graphical position of the city and the
history Of its storms to entertain new
hopes that the gale would not result IN
a disaster.

BRITAIN DECIDES
TO MAKE COTTON
CONTRABAND
Washington, Knowing All
Details, Expected to
Make No Protest.
[By Cable 70 The Tribune !

London, Aug. 16.-The government,
now thoroughly convinced that all law
full means must be taken to prevent
cotton from reaching the enemies of
the Allies, will, within a few days. de-
Sare cotton contraband, The Tribune is
able to announce exclusively and au-
thoritatively. The question has
reached the stage where no further
doubt exists, and action may be ex-
pected at any time.
II is probable that a declaration will
be made of a method whereby Ameri-
can growers will be protected against
the undue loss of German-Austrian
markets. At least, some reassurlng
statement is expected that the Allies
purpose some such arrangement calcu-
lated to stabilize the price Of cotton.
An Anne rican protest against the con-
traband plan is considered unlikely. In
fact, it appears certain that the gov
ernments have exchanged views and
that Washington is in possession OF all
the details.
For a long time England has been
subjected 10 the strongest pressure 10
declare cotton contraband. Recently
the French have been especially insist
ent.
Now that England, acting in behalf
of the Allies, is about to take action, II
will not make much difference TO Amer
lean planters and dealers, as under the
present blockade methods little if any
cotton ever reaches Germany.
The Tribune learned to-day that IN
vestigation of the official export tigures
revealed that Scandinavia and Holland
in the last three months had got slight:
ly less than their normal supply OF
cotton, which proves that the blockade
is effective and confounds those gov
ernment critics who complain that the
navy has been permitting vast quant-
ties to reach Germany, where they are
used in making explosives for the pur-
-ose of killing British and other SOL
diers.
IL is realized, however, that declaring
cotton contraband is valuable In meet
ing American contentious that the
present method of preventing deliveries
is illegal. On account OF its use in the
manufacture OF explosives anu iui
because the German government has
taken over all cotton, which estab-
fishes that it is being utilized for mill
tary purposes, the Allies can justify
their step beyond all possible protest.
Reference to Germsny's action re-
calls that Berlin has recently promul-
gated two regulations bearing on the
Industry. Work has been limited in
cotton, and weaving mills and all deal:
ers have been ordered to dispose OF
their cotton refuse to manufacturers
working only on army and navy orders.

Cotton Ban Removes
Cause of Friction

Washington, Aug. 16.-The British
governments decision to place cotton
on the contraband list will help greatly
TO clarity the diplomatic situation and
relieve the United States government
from considerable embarrassment, ac-
cording TO officials who discussed the
move here tonight. Their only won
der is that Great Britain has not taken
the step long before this.
There can be no question of the le-
gality' of the British governments ac-
ton, in the opinion of international
iurists, who point to the fact that ma
terial used in the manufacture Of am
munition has always been held TO be
by it's very nature contraband. Prece-
dents for this opinion are found IN
proclamations issued by President
Johnson in the closing days OF the
Civil War.
The State Department has been aware
for some time of the intention of the
British government TO declare cotton
contraband. Officials say Great Britain
has been restrained from taking the
step for two ressons-first, that II
marks a departure from previous prac-
tice which, however justtiable, the
British government is loath 10 make
unless forced 70 il, and, secondly, the
precedent thus established might prove
advantageous TO Great Britain in
later wars. There has always been
certain sentiment attached to free trad
ing in cotton which is regarded as GER
tain 10 turn sympathy from a nation
restricting it.
Far from protesting against Great
Britain's expected action, the United
States government will welcome il, of
fcials say, as removing the cause OF
the controversy that has been the
source of so much i'll feeling. The
general opinion is that the cotton mar
ket will not be materially restricted on
account of the increasing quantities
employed by the Allies and in this
country in the manufacture Of ammu-
milton.

This was the statement made by

when he cautiously emerged from the
elevator at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel
after having isolated himself in his
apartment all day. He refused to make
any other comment, entered a taXicab

a od deal of uneasiness among Ger

posures of some of their methods of
"unneutral propaganda" was evidenced
yesterday by the unusual activities of
German interests at the Ritz-Carlton,
which serves as the summer residence

Count Won Bernstorff arrived at the

THE BITTER ROT IN APPLES
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture Is
 Effective Comhative Method.

There is every reason to expect a bad year for bitter rot this year, and there is only one way to fight it. Prun- ing last winter would have helped Al so spraying about June 20 would have aided. But it is now too late for either of these and should the dread ed bitter rot appear in your orchard it means either fight or quit
 The way to fight is to spray at once with homemade Bordeaux mixture, then, as soon as the orchard has been covered go over it again with the same mixture. Everything depends upon getting a perfect coating of the mixture on the fruit early in the fight: After the first double spraying, sin gle spraying with the same mixture after two weeks will be necessary. Af ter this it will depend upon the weather how much other spraying Anust be done.
 The Bordeaux mixture is made of bluestone ten pounds, good fresh lime. ten pounds, water to make a hundred gallons. The mixture is made by a special method that cannot be ex- plained here for want of space. FuI directions may be had by getting Bul letin 114 and Circular 21, from the F,x pertinent Station at Fayetteville.

Ten Reasons For a SiIo.

1. The maximum of forage crops can be saved for livestock feeding purposes
 ?. Forage crops in the form of si- lage are eaten without waste.
 3. The crop remains in form which is net only nutritious, but also succulent and therefore, palatable.
 A. The crop is stored in a conve- Dient place and in compact form. About four times more dry matter in forage crops can be stored in a given space in the silo than by field curing and storing in the now.
 5. Making silage out of forage crops is the most economical way to harvest them under all conditions.
 6. The abundance of favorable years can be stored to be utilized dur ing years of scarcity.
 '. The silo makes abundant succu lent forage possible the year round
 8. The addition of silage to the ra- tion improves the whole ration
 g. The cost of the ration is ma terially reduced by the feeding of si- lage with all classes of livestock.
 10. The silo makes it possible to keep livestock On every farm. This means diversified farming and the growing of forage crops which are the surest crops.

IF BACTERIA
 ON SO|L FERTILITY
Farmer May Do Much in Decreasing Cost of Fertilizer Bills By ConserV ing Supply of Nitrogen.

The relation of soil bacteriology to soil fertility and the methods of pre- serving this fertility by means or these bacteria is gradually becoming matter of study.
 A number of the experiment sta tions are becoming interested in this work and it is time indeed that some thing was being done along this line.
 Expense to Farmer.
 Fifty millions of dollars is the annual fertilizer bill of American farmers. Most of this is paid by far mers of twenty of the eastern states, as commercial fertilizers are used but very little, at present, in the middle west or western states. Nitrogen Is usually the element Of plant food which is lacking, and this is also far more costly than any other elements of plant foods The supply Of avail able nitrogen fertilizer, namely sC- dium nitrate is decreasing very rapid " while the demand is increasing. In this way the fertilizer bill of American ' thing enormous unless some new method is developed.
 The principle part played by bac- teria in soil fertility is the gatherinS of this much needed nitrogen and con verting it into a form available for plant food.
 Factors Aiding Bacteria.
 Some of the factors which aid tke bacteria in this work are: the addi. tion of manure which adds not only plant food bGt large numbers of these bacteria; the addition of lime to cor. rect the acidity in acid soils as these bacteria cannot work in an acid me, dium; the proper stirring of the soil which gives oxygen and sufficient aeration, and lastly: ,sthe growing Of legume crops which is perhaps the greatest aid Of any Of the above men toned factors in securing nitrogen for plant food
 Time For Results.
 The greatest difficulty encountered ill this work is the fact that it takes two or three years and q series or crops to show any marked improve ment in a soil, but it is to be hoped that it will reach state of develop ment where a soil will show marked improvement ill one year and thus take the place of the nitrogenous com mercial fertilizers.
