Mr.. c.. N. Wilcox, of Sand Beach
was in the city Saturday, and told
The Progress that our recent
weather had had a most unfavOra-
bic effect on crops. He said, in
some instances, he had replanted
two or three times, and still his
stand was uncertain.
Bear this in mind; the fruit
crops this year will be SO extreme
ly short, fruit will be very high.
An excellent yield was promised
in the beginning, but something
has caused the fruitage to fall off
SO badly that many trees which
were full after blooming, have not
q dozen, and some none at all, on
] them.
