DAY OF DANGER OVER
Time for the Arrival OF Killing Frosts hs.
Gone By.

eff we don't get a frost there viii be a
world Of fruit in the Arkansas valley this
year." is an expression that can be heard
d hundred times day. A reporter for
the Eagle called yesterday at the weather
bureau and inquired Of DR.. johnson If
there is any probability Of frost. The
doctor looked up the records for the last
nine years and found that April 10Th was
the latest date recorded in any year that
killing frost appeared. AS this is April
II. and no probability Of a frost soon, the
prospects for an unprecedented fruit crop
are very fine. DR.. Johnson says that a
killing frost may set in after this date,
and after several days yet TO come, but
the probability is against it. Even il a
frost visited within the next week, DR..
Johnson thinks that 1t would not hurt
either peaches or apples, as the cool
weather has kept them sufficiently back
ward to avoid the effects Of any but an
unduly late frost.
