This hail storm liz the most disas-
irons that has ever struck the cOun-
ty, and surpasst.s in destructiveness
the one we had six years ago. Those
farmers who have lost all OF their
crop are to be pitied. 1t is a severe
blow to Them. In one short night
their years labor has been lost. and
besides they have suffered Il setback
materially that will take some time
to overcome. Those who have no
harvesting of their own to do will try
to secure employment with others
who have been more fortunate. We
hope that all who employ additional
men Or teams during harvest time
will give the hail sufferers the first
chance to secure work. Mr.. P. O..
Peterson. Of Viking. told the SHEAF'
that he has three horses, binder and
/ two men, and will take the contract
to cnt ,nd shock 100 acres. The
state will doubtless be asked to make
loans for seed wheat aa before, and
we think that all farmers and all
Others who are better favored should
i extend aid to their unfortunate
brethren.
