Tuesday cut a freak trail through west Millard and did considerable damage to farms in its wake. Hail stones were reported as the size of marbles or as big as the end of a thumb. The storm lasted about ten minutes in Delta, with hail ftie size of peas. No hail was reported at Deseret or Abraham, but farms westerly of Delta were hit heavily. One farmer had admired his stand of alfalfa seed at 3 p. m., and after 5 p. m. he had no seed, and few leaves left on his plants . Others are in the same predicament. Trees were stripped of leaves and branches broken. Leaves were cut from corn stalks and grain wrecked. Bill Hardy, Hinckley farmer, said hail .stones were still thick In his baled hay when he fed his horses at noon Wednesday. He wrote the following article to ex-press his sentiments: ' BENEFITS FROM HAIL STORM "Threshing done in 10 minutes; both wheat and alfalfa seed at the same time at no cost of hired help. Stubble ground well mulched insects all dead, and to finish, sun comes out and melts hail and ice and farm is well irrigated. Young chickens all dead. Leaves stripped from trees make a good cover for wife's flowers and shrubs Plenty of time for fishing . No worries. Really a good country to live in. Hopeful Bill Hardy.
