BALDwINsvILLE, N. Y, May 5, 1909.

The hail storm which marked the exit
of April played havoc. with the seed
beds in this State. Canvas coverings
were in many instances absolutely of
no avail and a great deal of the early
work of the farmers has gone for moth
ing. However, the trouble has been
faced with about as good grace as could
be expected and those growers who
have suffered will begin all over again.
The leaf in case is reported to be pro-
crossing satisfactorily.
