KALAMAZOO. MIoH., March 12.-Ovsr 100
leading peach cnitivators, members OF the
Fruit Growers Association, assembled at
South Haven, Mich, yesterday. They cub
mitted specimen branches from their
orchards showing the fruit buds to be
badly damaged as the result OF the recent
plunge OF the mercury TO 10 or more de-
greeG below zero.
The destruction appears to vary good
deal the older trees and less elevated situa-
ton, contrary to precedent, showing the
larger proportion OF live fruit buds. This
Is believed TO be due TO the fact that the
young orchards, and especially the elevated
ones, have been more unduly developed by
reason OF the open winter. twas asserted,
however, that mfsg OF the smaller or 60
called dormant buds would now be pushed
forward, and. together with the larger ones
remaining unininred, would produce one
third to one-half an average crop.
