Hail Devastates Wheat Near Arlie and Rolla
Hail ranging from marble to golf ball size struck southwest and southeast of Wellington Friday evening April 26, flattening wheat in two county strips. The narrow damaged area near Arlie extended two by eight miles with total losses in spots and up to 60 percent in other fields. Damaged fields, washed culverts, and drifted hail were noted, while other areas reported beneficial moisture after weeks of rain. The crop was described as one of the best in years with some fields unrecoverable and the region facing heavy losses near the state line.
