Year Without a Summer
In 1816 there na? no summer in the
United States.
Snow fell every month of the year.
f Since that time 1816 has been gen
erally called "poverty year" because
practically all crops were total fail
ures. Others have called it "eigh
teen hundred turd froze to death." Still
others have referred to it as "mackerel
year" because no little pork was avail
able that the jveople lived on fish.
The Weather Bureau writes us that
snow fell on the seventh of June suf
fieient to cover the ground at Newton,
Ma**., and at Hopkintou, N. H., it was
four i nclies deep.
At Salem. Mass., on Saturdny, June
8. there was a slight fall of snow, but
it wax i'nof deep enough to make good
sleighing.
Along i lie northern portion of Mas.
sachuseits. Jarge icicles were pendent,
and the. fidiage' of the forest trees was
Malted by the frosts*,
In Willhwnstown. Mass.. the snow
was l'j inches deep ??n June 8, and in
Cabot, IS inches.
Joseph Walker, an old gentlema'n of
8S years. lost himself in the woods at
Tcacliani in the snowstorm on the night
of the seventh, and remained there
through the night, bis feet becoming so
severely frostbitten that it was neces
tfi ry to amputate one of Iris great too*.
Many tjieople perished in the snow
drifts. birds flew into house* for shel
ter. and great numbers of them were
found dead in t he fields.

What is Your Growing Crop
Worth to You?
* Why Lose the Time and Money You Have Invest
ed In Your Crop?
Every year enormous losses to growing crops are
caused by hailstorms. The farmer who escapes one
year may lose his entire crop the next. Can you af
ford to take the risk of losing all you have invested
in your crop by a hailstorm, when you can insure
yourself against such a loss?
