In this section IN the path of the hail
storm, the situation has considerably inn
proved in the last ten days Corn that was
thought to be ruined, is recovering, and it
is thought will make half crop or more.
Sweet potatoes are growing finely, and al
though they will bea little later in Dig
cling, the crop promises well. It is nota-
Bile fact that on light sandy soil the vines
were not as badly injured as on the heavier
soils Tomatoes did not fare as we'll, and

counted on the crops to meet pressing
