At Dalton 310 farmers passed through, Gurley saw a smaller yet engaged turnout, and Sidney hosted 125 overnight visitors. Demonstrators stressed that smut reduces yield and dockage, with enlarged spores shown to illustrate the threat to seed wheat.

Hail Destroys Wheat in Western Nebraska Belts
A heavy electrical storm with rain and damaging hail swept western Nebraska counties on Monday afternoon. Reports indicate some fields were nearly wiped out while others lost 25 to 75 percent, with damage also to corn, rye and oats. Northwest and southwest Cheyenne county areas bore the heaviest losses, aided by prior harvest in some tracts. A flaw in half insurance coverage caused many farmers to miss compensation as policies expired shortly before the storm.
