Fire Follows Storm

Tuscaloosa, May 7.-(Special )-The worst storm in years visited Tuscaloosa early this morning, with rainfall of more than live inches, as a result of which the War rior river is rising at the rate of four feet an hour Lightning struck . house belonging to East End Realty company. flames quickly spread, destroying two other houses. causing loss of $4OO0. Fall ing trees brought down wires of the light company, throwing the city in darkness. All telegraph wires were down until to- night Traffic on Warrior Southern rail- road has been indefinitely suspended as result of the numerous washouts. Louis- vile and Nashville passenger trains for Birmingham were unable to leave city un- til late this afternoon as a result of wash outs between this city and University.

tonight as a possible index of the policy
 to be pursued The discussion at the time arose particularly over the misuse of flags by belligerent vessels, the Lusitania itself
 having flown an American flag to escape attack from German submarines The
 United States demonstrated with Great
 Britain over such use of the American
 flag and said at the same time in a note to Germany:
 ''If the commanders of German ves-
 sels of war should act upon the presump-
 ton that the flag of the United States
 was not being used in good faith and
 should destroy on the high seas an Amer
 ican vessel or the lives of American cit
 izens it would be difficult to view the
 act in any other light than as an inde-
 fensible violation of neutral rights which
 it would be very hard indeed to reconcile
 with the friendly relations now happily
 subsisting between the two governments. Hold Germany Accountable
 "If such a deplorable situation should
 arisc the imperial German government can readily appreciate that the govern ment of the United States would be con strained to hold the German government
 to a strict accountability for such acts of their naval authorities and to take any steps that might be necessary to safe guard American lives and property and to secure to American citizens the full enjoyment of their acknowledged rights on the high seas"
 Officials, however, were careful to point out tonight that if no American lives were lost there might be many qualifying cir cumstances which would remove from the present incident the vital interest that the | United States otherwise might have in it It was indicated for example. that a marked division of opinion has existed | among legal authorities as to whether a | hostile vessel need give any warning to a merchantmen travelling under convoy | for the exercise of the right of visit and | search to determine the presence of con- | traband under such conditions obviously | would imperl the safety of the attacking vessel itself. On the other hand it has | been urged that under no circumstances 1 can an unarmed merchantmen be at lacked unless resisting capture or at l tempting to run a blockade.

Shipping Held

Mobile May 7-High winds and heavy rains this afternoon held up shipping for four hours tore the avn ings from all craft and caused inc American schooner James w. Paul, bound from Progreso, Mex, to Mo bile, to lose her bearings in the Mo bile ship channel and stick her nose in the mud where she remained for four hours The Honduran steamer Bodo. bound up with fruit, .was forced to anchor in the channel until the worst was over.

Preparing The Soil
of The Garden

TO per cent nitrogen. s per cent
phosphoric acid, and 6 to per cent
potash should give good results if
the soil is well supplied with humus.
This fertilizer may be secured al
ready prepared or may be mixed at
home. The following combination
will make satisfactory fertilizer for
home garden and may be applied at
the rate Of 1000 to 1000 pounds to
the acre. q. ~
$50 pounds nitrate OF soda.
$50 pounds cotton seed meal.
1000 pounds acid phosphate, is per
cent.
& 200 pounds muriate or sulphate of
potash.
1t should be borne in mind that
commercial fertilizers will not pro-
duc1T satisfactory results unless the
soil is we'll supplied with humus. In
fact. large quantities OF fertilizers
are justified only where the soil is
In good mechanical condition. Many
soils in the South that have been in
cultivation for long time are In a
poor mechanical condition and need

turning under green crops of coarse

The soil that is to be used for vege-
tables should be thoroughly prepared
before planting. A deep seed bed is
desirable. and when an area that has
never been plowed more than 4 inches
deep must be used ii should be deep
ened by gradually increasing the
depth of plowing for period of three
or four years until the desired depth
Is attained.
Clay soil should be plowed, In the
\ fall IL there is no danger of wash
ing. so as to get it in good niechan-
ical condition before planting time.
In the cooler regions of the South
freezing will pnlverize the soil, which
in regions where freezes do not occur
the pulverizing must, be done by har-
rowing and cultivation. Sandy loans
or soils that contain large amount
OF humus should be plowed far
enough in advance 10 allow the soil
to settle before planting.
Thorough preparation by plowipg.
narrowing; rolling, or dragging viii

not sufficient to smooth and level the
| surface; the puiyerising should ex-
| tend down several inches,
MRhures and Fertilizers.
The soil for vegetable growing
should be rich and well supplied with
humus. Barnyard or stable manure
is the best fertilizer, because 1t fur
nishes both plant food and humus
An application OF 20 to so tons OF
manure To the acre Is very satisfac-
tory, and on some soils this applica-
ton will need but little reinforcing
with commercial fertilizers. The ma
nure should be applied far enough
In advance OF planting time to allow
1t to decay. Where coarse manure is
used. 1t should be applied In the fall

nre should be applied after plcwing

advisable TO apply commercial fefti-
