That the damage done by the
hail storm of last Thursday eve
ming to the crops of farmers liv-
ing in western York county is
much greater than was reported
to the Ybrkville Enquirer Friday
morning is the information re-
ceived Saturday from farmers
living in the hail area. 1t now
appears that the hail storm i'll
western York county covered an
area of about six miles wide and
extended from. the western out
skirts of Yorkville to Piedmont
springs. Thousands of cotton
bolls were knocked from stalks
Of cotton and beaten to pieces.
In many places corn stalks were
stripped bare of leaves, only the
ears remaining. The hail storm
appears to have played many
freaks, doing little harm to the
crops of some farmers, while al
most literally destroying those of
other farmers in the same neigh
borhood.
