Ruined by June Hail Waynesboro, Pa., Aug. 14. —It is said that the potato patches devas tated by the hail storm June 6, will not yield anything like a full crop— not even a half crop. Some planters have taken up some of the spuds and in many hills Una but a single potato, and of inferior size and qual ity. This cannot be accounted for except in a general way by charging it up to the hail, which whacked off the first growth of tops when they were four or six inches high. But this leaves the cause unexplain ed. Nohting like it ever happened in anybody's experience ia this vicin ity. After the bombardment of mis siles on that Wednesday afternoon, when the potato, like all other grow ing plants, was sheared off to the ground, everybody supposed that that was the last of poor Murphy. But soon afterward the tops began to shoot forth and there never were larger ones and it was thought that a tremendous crop would be the re sult, but not so. A very small crop will be harvested.
