The most severe damage
seemed to center around
Mount Joy. On the J.B. Hos

by Donald Newcomer at Mount
Joy R 2, a 70x40 foot shed
filled with new crop tobacco
was demolished. At some
stores in town, plate glass
windows were smashed.
Crop damage would be dif

Smith. Damage from bail will
be considerable, especially m
tobacco, he said. One farmer
reported a three-acre tobacco
field so badly shredded it
must be disced under.
