THE SPRING FROsTs.

It is feared by some that the recent
cold weather will have the effect OF ma
terially thinning the fruit harvest OF
this year. IL such should be the case,
the trees and vines will only be the
better for it, and the fruit-growers be
the gaiuers for it on this score in the
end We expect. however. to see
nearly the usual amount Of fruit sup
ply in our gardens and orchards when
the season arrives. If many Of the
young fruit sets have been nipped,
those that remain will grow larger and
more perfect. There has never yet
been failure of fruit known on Puget
Sound. The greatest drawback to the
fruit business here, on the contrary, is
the tendency Of the trees to premature
exhaustion from overbearing A years
rest would prove of great advantage to
them. Therefore, sharp nipping by a
frost at this time Of the year is in real
ity great saving OF labor to the or
chardist in relieving him from the
necessity of picking off surplus fruit.
However. the not unfrequent occur
renee of these frosts in the higher por-
tions of our several valleys in nearer
proximity to the cold mountains must
render fruit growing and also garden
ing business too uncertain to he de-
pended on as reliance for livelihood.
1t sometimes happens, too, that we have
unprecedented cold snaps IN the Fall
in September, and sometimes even In
August. Therefore, those who purpose
making fruit-growing business. should
uniformly select location near the
shores of the Sound or the lakes, where
the severity of the Spring and Autumn
frosts are modified 10y the equalizing
influence of large bodies of water. Those
who are rot favorably placed in this
regard should confine their ventures.
