a report of a hail storm which had
hit the central section of North Da

remember of but two storms in the
past twenty-five years which did any
material damage to growing crops in
this section, and those in but small
sections. In parts of the Dakotas
hail is looked for in every cloud, and
the finest looking stands of grain
have been leveled so flat and buried
so deep from hail that the ground
looked as though it had been plowed.
