IN NORTHEASTERN NORTH DAKOTA COUNTIES
Fields That a Few Days Ago Indicated the Best Crops in His
tory of State Were Yesterday Afternoon Swept Clean---
Some Districts Suffered Total Loss While
Others Were Slightly Damaged

The hopes for bumper crops of
many farmers in the extreme north
eastern part of North Dakota were
shattered yesterday afternoon when a
severe hail storm laid low hundreds of
acres of grain that gave promise of

ing of some fields hail swept as clean
as a floor.
Inc storm struck portions of o
thern Grand Forks county. and east
ern Walsh and Pemnina counties
about $50 O'clock yesterday after
noon. The destruction of crops on
the Minnesota side of the river is re-
ported as heavy. From the Canadian
side also come reports of grain driven
INTO the ground by the fierce fall of
hall. The amount of damage to this
section can hardly be determined at
this time.
The storm followed the course of

the grain on either side. In eastern
Walsh county the hail swept path is
reported to be about forty-five miles
wide and twenty-five miles long. In
this district the grain is laid right ia
the ground. The storm was the Sc
verest in this county. according to re-
ports, from a point two miles east of
lakewood to the river and north to
DraEton. The hail storm was ushcred
into this section by a high wind. AT
Grafton it didn't even rain and the
crops in the country immediately
tributary to the county seat were not
touched.
