ers, is much discouraged over his recent
severe loss of grain caused by a hail
storm which visited his section last week.
Mr.. Davis lost 200 acres of fall sown
wheat. which was in head and promised
an immense crop. lie estimates his loss
at $4,000.
The hail storm was severe. Hailstones
as large as hens eggs FELL cutting the
grain off and beating it into the ground.
The section visited by the storm was
small, only six quarter sections being
affected, but Mr.. Davis has grain on four
OF these. MIR. Davis lives on Union fiat,
about 10 miles southwest of Pullman. lie
is very much discouraged because of his
loss, and says a man unlucky enough to
have grain on four-sixths of the country
visited by hail should quit farming.
Spring wheat was not injured by the hail
but winter wheat was totally destroyed.
