HAIL INJURES DAKOTA CROPS

Reports have reached Rensselaer that a number of former Jasper county people now residing in the vicinity of Mitchell, S. Dak., have suffered serious crop losses through recent hail storms. In some instances it is said the small grain is not worth harvesting, while the corn can be used only for ensilage. It is the custom in that country to carry crop insurance, and but for this the loss would have been almost total.
