Ii IL probable that two or three OF the

raised to such a plan by the fact that the

very pleasant or very inexpensive thing
to do i'm these latter days. Before the

practically lie between Mr.. Hugh X.

The COLD SNAP CONTINUES.
Damage to Fruit and Vegetables in This
Section.

The weather continued cold and buster
INK yesterday.
In the morning the mercury in the Their
iaometer stood at 10 degrees. The ground
was frozen. and Ice formed to the thick
ness OF half inch.
in looking over the record IL was found
that there were but thre- occasions during
tn past winter when the readings OF the
thermometer showed a lower temperature.
They were as follows: December lith. il;
December 9Th. y: December 18th, Is. There
were two days in March. 1899 when the
readings We're the same as yesterday, 10
grces-viz., 10Th and 9th.
SOURCES or DAMAGE.
Ii is difficult as yet TO estimate the full
amount Of damage I'm this section 10y the

that an the fruit in bloom was Killed or
greatly damaged, and most likely also
that which was in bud. Very few early
vegetables had been planted. but what was

sion is evident that In the fields and gar

Strawberries generally are killed.
COLONEL WHITEHEAD'S OPINION.
Colonel Thomas Whitehead Commits
eloncr OF Agriculture, when asked what
effect he thought the sudden drop In the
temperature and the frost had had upon
tho crops. said he had no doubt that early
peaches and the early varieties OF plums
and cherries had been done for. lie
thought also that Strawberries had been
hurt. and in some cases early vegetables
and clover.
lie did not think. however, that the ap-
pie crop was injured. and IN this section
there are not enough vegetables above
ground 20 make the loss material. IT
might be different In the trucking regions
around Norfolk, but his information was
that the loss IN that section would be
slight
