Crops Ruined by Heavy Hail.

HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA, Aug. /
Reports received here yesterday from the
eastern portion of the State, which was
visited by the destructive hailstorm of
Thursday and Frid ay, show severe loss to
crops between Elrod and Hetland. The
hail cut all crops in an area of four to six
miles wide by thirty miles long, many
farmers losing their whole season labor.
Much of the grain was nearly ready for
harvest and some fields were being cut.
Clark, Day, Hanson, Brookings, Kings
bury. Miner and Minnehaha counties have
all suffered crops losses by hail during the
mast four DAYS

Large Hay Crop Promised.

CANAJoHARIE, N. Y, Aug. Re
ports received from the New England,
Middle and Western States by the Hay
Trade-J Journal shows the conditional aver
age of the hay crop to be 81 per cent,
that of the whole country 929 per cent,
with 2 per cent. increased acreage, indi-
eating the largest crop grown in many
years. On this account, it is thought,
there will be large attendance at the
National Hay Convention to be held at
Pittsburg on the 10th, 18th and 18th of
this month";
