GRAPE BELT HAS A CHILL,

Amount of Damage, However, Only a Mat
ter of Guess Work Now.
BUFFALO, May 14.-Dispatches from all
over western New York prove that this
section of the state has suffered from the
frost, but the extent Of the damage Is
mere guess work. Along the grape belt
in Chautauqua county the grape growers
take melancholy outlook, but 1t would
be strange If the crop was entirely de.
stroyed, as some alarming dispatches say.
In Niagara county, where small fruits
are freely raised, there Is disposition to
take a gloomy view of the ravages of the
frost, but conservative judges think the
damage not general or severe.
Next to grapes Strawberries, perhaps,
have been most seriously hurt. In ALLIE
cheney county the lowest temperature Is
recorded-25 degrees-and 1t is likely that
all kinds of fruits have been damaged. In
Genessee county it is said that the frost
has killed the worms but that the apples
are not hurt. Dispatches from western
Ontario indicate that the temperature
was very low there and the damage per-
haps very much heavier than on this side
of the border.
NEW YORK, May l4.-Reports from
many seCblOnS Oh inc sUaue lnulcaCo tnaG
Sunday nights frost did an immense
amount of damage to growing vegetables,
crops and fruit. At Dunkirk, the
thermometer fell to 70 degrees Every
grape vine is destroyed. Silver Greek last
year shipped ZOO cars. This place Is re-
markedly well sheltered. Everything is
destroyed. At ForestvilIo every farmer
had planted every available acre in grapes,
and tho frost ruined every vine. Other
fruits suffered nearly as much There will
be no cherries.
Ripley, whore nearly 400 cars were
shipped last year, this year will not have
one basket of grapes Tho grape growers
are demoralized and do not know what
they will do AT Wcstflcld the vines are
entirely cut down. Some growers will
plough up their vineyards and return to
the old style of general farming. Brock.
ton, generally known as the center of the
Chautauqua grape belt, is in mourning.
Nothing Is raised there but grapes and
the frost cut them all down.
Gerry Rickmann. the millionaire grower
and wine manufacturer, says the loss in
the belt by reason of the destruction done
to the grapes will reach at least 81, O00, 900.

Heavy Frost Near Pittsbury.

PITTsBURG, May l4.-Tho thermometer
in and about Pittsburg marked 80 dc.
grees. There was a very heavy frost and
In many places ice an eighth of an inch
thick was formed. Most of the early gar.
den truck and small fruits were de-
stroyed. Nearly all the apples on low
ground are frosted. Even the leaves of
the forest trees are blighted Reports
from all over western Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio and West Virginia indicate
that the frost was as severe there as here.
ERIE, Pa, May 14,-The grape crop
in this section will be complete failure
because of Sunday nights frost. In this
county 1000 acres of vineyards were de.
stroyed and in Chautauqua county, NY,
easily 5000 acres are ruined. These vine
yards in good years net $3.50 an acre, so
that the financial loss to the grape-grow-
ers in the two counties will reach 81, 500, =

Snow fell at Depere, Manitowoo, Madi-

Maniwa, Wausau, Palmyra and other
places, in nearly every section of the state.
The ground was covered to depth OF
an inch in the northern section, but it was

Corn and potatoes that were up are cut

of the strawberries were damaged.
CUMBERLAND, Wis, May IA. - There

to bear up team of horses on the crust
of plowed land. The damage to crops Is

But the Damage Done So Far Is Rather
Problematicai in General-Some Places
Where There Was Ice-SituatiOn in
Michigan aud Wisconsin.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 14-The
most reliable advices obtainable here In
dictate that so far fruit has not been ma
terially injured in western Michigan, but
great anxiety was felt for its fate last
night. The frost Monday morning had q
damaging effect in some sections, but
nearly all of tho lake shore counties were
protected by clouds. The prospects last
night, however, were not encouraging.
The mercury stood at 33 degrees In a
driving snowstorm from the north. At 0
a. IN. the snow melted as it fell, but later
1t began to cling to the trees and drop
of a few degrees in temperature meant a
freeze that would certainly damage or en-
trely destroy all fruits except apples.
Same Weather, Nearly, Last Year.
The snow may protect vegetables, but
1t cannot save fruit, unless it be the later
varieties of strawberries. An inch or
more Of snow fell over large portion Of
western Michigan on May IA last year,
and was followed by a good crop of fruit,
but in that storm the mercury did not go
below 30 degrees and remained at that
mark only about two hours and fruit was
not nearly so far advanced at that time
as it is now.
Snow Storms in Western Michigan.
DETROIT, May 14.-Snow storms were
reported last night from all principal
points in western Michigan and from the
northern peninsula and upper portions Of
the southern peninsula. High winds pre-
vailed throughout the state last evening,
except in the southeastern portion. In
the western Michigan fruit belt region
the snow storms were accompanied by
high winds. The consensus of dispatches
from this region is that If the wind abates
fruit will be badly frozen. Early vegeta-
bles and small fruits have already greatly
suffered, and there are gravest apprehen-
sions regarding the entire crop
