No frost here s turdsy night,
The same paper, Of the same date, says
The effect ofthe remarkabie frost al Saturday
night is DISASTROUS. incalculable damage has
been done vegetables, fruit and grain. The old
settlers say that in 1915 there vas 4 terrible
frost here, in June, but since that time no such
poenofaencn has been so serious a. to have been
eSpecially observed until now. Happily, the
frost had 3 blighting effect only at intervals in
the vast region it gave this untimely visit
Where one field Of corn, or one garden, or or
chard, or wheat-feld has been blasted. Others
iuthe immediate neighborhood have not Suffered.
Il is plain, however, that a very serious calaml-
" has betallen the country. A blight has fal-
len upon the land In the central p~ortios w
are told that garden vegetables are totally de-
Stroyed. Everything in the garden at the Ohio
White Sulphur Springs has been cut down.
One of the proprietors offs hotel in Columbus
yesterday telegraphed a partner here to buy
vegetables in this market, as the frost had finish
I'd the gardens in that vicinity. Great injury
has been inflicted upon the grapes in exposed
a,s,aesona In nauv Olacas corn knee Iiuh has
been annihilated. 1t is not, however, too late
to plant corn. Cherries, peaches and apples
have been damaged. Some wheat fields have
been nipped in the milk, and no golden harvest
will wave over them, The leaves of trees seem
inexpoSeG places us If scalded. Intelligence OF
this wide spread calamity pouFs in upon Us from
all directions. Our telegrapAic dispatches give
Information from MANY points. Some days
must elapse before We can be fully advised OF
the extent Of the destruction wrought by this
strange visitation, which is the more dishearten-
ing from the splendid season o: prosperity OF
which we felt assured. 1t is to be hoped that
many Of the Statements Of destruction which
reach US are materially exaggerated.
The same paper, Of the same date, after epeak'
ing Of a very destructive FIRE in Eaton, Preble
County, Ohio. says:-
ain concluding his statement, our informant
adds that the worst damage sustained was not
by fire. Frost and ice was abundant, and "ev-
erytiaq ,cas cut doon to the ground. Fears are
entertained that the Wheat has suffered badly"
The Woodsfeld CO., Spirit Of Democracy, O.
ths 9Th inst. says
On Saturday night was one of the heaviest
fcsts ever known at this season Of the year
Nearly all the tobacco plants, so far as we have
learned, have been DESTROYED. Almost every
blade OF corn is killed. Much of it however
may recover. The wheat has certainly beer
damaged, though to what extent cannot yet be
ascertained. Potatoes are generally leveled to
the ground, but will doubtless, to a great extern
recover. The grapes are probably all killed
Cucumbers, tomatoes, and many other vegeta'
bles of the kitchen garden are wilted down.
1t is probably not saying too much to est
mate the damage done in this county at one
hundred thousand dollars. We learn, howev
err. that on the bottoms along the larger stream:
the river, Wilps Creek, Suntish, Cranes Mes
and Muskingum-a heavy fog protected tn
crops to n great extent.
The Cincinnati Gazeae, Of the 9Th inst, says
We print to day, reports from various quar-
tiers, furnished by correspondents and the press
regarding the effect Of the frost upon the crops
These accounts are generally discouragiDg; Blu
Wei UAl IGDVI VI l1AiiN WA
ers, in the city yesterday, satisfy US that tn
domage sustained has been overestimated great
". The injury to the Corn can be fully re
paired by replanting, and even this will not b
necessary to any considerable extent. Wheat
we believe to have escaped without any mate
rial damage. Potatoes have suffered, to tn
extent, perhaps, OF one fourth the crop. Small
Ter vegetables have suffered more. Grapes ar
safe in this section, and the prospect for an a
bundant yield continue favorable.
Farmers, we presume, will not be in a hurr
to pillow up the corn. In 1915, we think. a sc
we're June frost occurred, which destroyed tn
corn apparently. A large proportion of the Gro
was replanted, but the result proved that cor
which was permitted to stand, made a bette
crop than that replanted. To guard again:
contingencies, many farmers are planting b
tween the rows. This will enable them
choose between the old and new growth, which
ever promises best, after tho effect Of the fro
has been fully ascertained.
The following are the reports alluded to
the above:-
From the Chicago Press and Tribune June 7.
Fruit aud green vegetables, as we'll as pot
toes and other root crops, are seriously lnjure
and in many places the corn crop is entire
killed. Some damage is done to wheat, to VIII
extent is not yet known. Il is thought by go'
Judges here that that the spring wheat is t
far advanced to be much damaged, but late wi
ter wheat muat have sustained considerable i
Jury. Our correspondent Rural" states tn
the winter wheat in bloom must be more or lie
injured.
The Rockford (Tll) News contains over
column Of items with regard to the damage
thu crops. It's ummary Of the loss is follow
Corn, injured to one-fourth OF a crop; potato
one fifth; tomatoes, entirely ruined; beans, thr
fourths destroyed; cucumbers. half destroye
plums, entirely destroyed; cherries, nor mu
injured; ~currants, one. third destroyed; grape
nine-tenthS destroyed.
We have MOI heard Of the extent Of the dar
age along the Illinois river, but it is expect
that it will be serious.
