Hail Took The Rest

A hailstorm devastated large section
of country in the vicinity of Hecla, in
the northern part of Brown county,
pounding crops into the ground and
breaking many window lights. John
Bonzor, farmer living north of tn ?
town a few miles, reports that his
entire crop was destroyed. Steven
Dolan, in the same neighborhood, is
also heavy loser, and probably a
dozen other farmers lost heavily. The
storm begun at dusk and for from
twenty to thirty minutes the ground
was bombarded by the hail, and at the
close of the storm strip over ten
miles long was so closely covered with
the icy pellets it would have been an
easy matter to drive sleigh over the
entire distance. Wheat, which was
estimated at twenty bushels to the acre
and flax which was making u thick
stand, were destroyed in the region
affected.
At Aberdeen a heavy rain fell,
amounting to LIS inches, but it was
not accompanied by hail.

near Fulton, and is an effort to deter
mine the cause of partial failure of
crops, and to suggest operations that
will have tendency to prevent such
failures.
A scope of country six miles wide
and nine miles long was travelled by
Mr.. Hume and his party, sketches of
the contour of the land were taken, and
deep borings were made in the soil to
get good samples which were taken to
Brookings for analization. From these
it will be determined why, under GER
tain conditions, the land does not pro-
duce the crops.
The work is the beginning Of soil
examination in South Dakota with a
view of finding out what it contains,
what it needs in order to raise it to its
m aximum of production. When he had
gathered the samples from eight or ter
farms, DR.. Hume, who has done much
of this work in Germany and in severa
states, made this statement: II have
never turned soil augur in better sol
than | find right here"
The experimental. work will be car,
ried into several counties for the
soil varies in different localities.
