The rain and wind storm which
swept over the state last Sunday after
noon and evening did considerable dam
age to farm buildings and grain in some
sections. A heavy downpour accom-
panied by wind, which in some places
assumed proportions of a cyclone in
Rock and Dane counties, wrecked to-
ibacco sheds, tipped over trees and put
the telephone and light systems out of
commission for short time. More
than two dozen notices of losses have
been received by Henry Johnson's in
surance agency, most of the losses be-
ing small. Tobacco sheds on the farms
of E. L. Painter and Henry Thronson
suffered the greatest damage. While
the losses in the aggregate was consid-
cradle, the good done to the growing
crops by the rain far outstrips the loss.
