STREAK OF CROP DAMAGE
HAIL THRESHES TOBACCO AND
CORN
Western Section of County Suffers
Not Observation-Disclosures is in
Full Swing

The heavy rain that fell all over
Vernon county last Wednesday was a
blessing, to maturing corn, tobacco,
potatoes and pastures, but it brought
damage to a streak half-mile wide and
several miles long, commencing east
of Genoa and ending near the Mike
Stohrer farm four miles west of vi
roQua. Within that limit hail fell in
some places damaging, others lighter,
jumping some territory so that there
was little injury There are reported
a few fields of tobacc that will not be
harvested, some lesser injury and
some but slight damage. Within the
territory described nearly every farm
was visited. The hail was so severe
in its pelting that corn leaves were
stripped from the stalk The McLees
or Hanson ridge is worst hut.
Tobacco harvest has been on for
two weeks, but now nearly every
grower is st it in earnest. Later rains
and hot days have given the weed a
wonderful boost and fields that were
zero fortnight since are making
good.
Up to date no contracting has been
reported for this section. That is the
report for the balance of the growing
sections of the state. The Censor adj
vises that growers consult Viroqua
telephone central regarding cold wave
signals. The government will give
official notification of approaching
frost periods. The local telephone
station will give information to any
who inquire.
