The severe frost that occurred through
out this county OH the nights of the 23rd
and "a inst, have done great injury to
the larger part of the crop. The harvest
had just begun and there is little doubt
but that all standing crops were more or
less hurt. The ice OIL Sunday night was
u quarter of an inch thick. Peas were
frozen in the pod, the more Iuxuriant
potato vines were badly blackened
although the effects of the frost OH this
crop seem to have varied in different
localities. Many people are hopeful re-
garding their wheat, but it is likely that
the color at least of tic ripest grain will
be affected. The larger part of the crop
is still quite green and, of course, was
therefore badly injured, oats especially
have suffered as this crop in most cases is
pretty late, A great many fields are not
worth cutting, rs there is nothing but
straw OH them. There is no doubt but
that this unfortunate visitation has
blasted the hopes of large number of
people.
