Texas Hay for Barriers

Many thousands Of tons of Texas
hay are being used as a bulwark
against bullets on the lines Of defense
by the British and French govern

light by the statements of foreign
buyers of hay, who also direct the
OF the bales before ship
ment from Galveston, to make them
as nearly bullet proof as possible.
Three ordinary field bales are COM
pressed into one bale before being
loaded on a vessel. This process gives
the bales a density that is said to
make it equal to steel plate in stop
ping bullets. It is stated that trenches
are being lined with the bales of hay.
