A heavy hail storm visited this section
of country last Saturday, doing great
damage to many fields of uncut grain.
Eels Strand, Mr.. Hunsley and several
other new farmers up the Muddy. north
of town, we are informed, lost all their
standing crops, which were cut clean to
the ground by the heavy hail, and what
was not cut down was beaten into the
ground. To those parties the loss is
severe, as they we're newcomers and de-
pended almost entirely upon this years
crop to carry them oyer for another
year, We have been unable to ascertain
an estimate of the loss entailed upon
the sufferers north of the city by that
storm.

farmer, has called Farmer II. V, Smiths
big sample of oats, and goes him one

into the Graphic Office samples of oats
the heads of which measure 193 inches,
some five inches longer than those
brought in by Mr. Smith last week. The
SAMPLES presented by Mr.. VanSlyke
were raised on Zeno Bruegger's farm, in
Stony Creek district, which Mr.. Van
Slvke rented this season. Now, if any
hodv in Williams county can beat the
SAMPLES that we now have before us, We
shall be pleased to receive the evidence.
Some of the heads We have in our pos

zoo kernels. which indicate q yield of
some Is or so bushels per acre.
