HAIL! HALF THE GANGS

CLARKVILLE, Conn, Aug. 2.-The
story OF the tobacco plants in Cufield

after a recent rain paled into insig.
nificance when prominent planters
who attended the New England To-
bacco Growers association field day
here described the largest hailstone
they had seen this year One grow
er told OF mill on which the hail
stones were so large and numerous
two weeks ago that his children got
their sleds and coasted for several
hours.
Charlie Griffin, of Clarkville, be-
lieyed that many OF the stories re-
lating 10 this seasons hailstones were
greatly exaggerated. The largest
mass Of hallstones he had seen weigh
ed not more than 100 pounds and two
men easily lifted the chunk into his
automobile.
Adelbert Du Bon thought the 100
pound hailcake rather commonplace.
The hail, he said, collected In the
folds OF section of large tobacco
tent which sagged TO the ground
under the sheer weight OF a con-
glomerate hailstone which by actual
measurement was 10 feet long, six
feet wide and about three feet deep.
Mr. Du Bon feared that the ice would
impart so much frigidity 10 the at
mosphere that hjbacco plants In its
vicinity would suffer
A grower who had intended to de-
scribe a 15-pound hailstone contented
himself with the whitening comment:
