Reports have been received from Steele
County to the effect that frost Friday night
destroyed the entire corn crop of that
county with the exception of two fields. Ice
formed throughout the county to the thick
ness of dinner plate on tubs and barrels.
So heavy frost so early in the year was never
known before in this region.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-09-11

There was light frost in the vicinity of
this place Saturday morning, but no dam
age was done to the corn crop, most of
which is SO far advanced as to be out of
danger.
