A nipping frost came down on
us last Wednesday morning, which
bit young fruits and tender vege-
tables quite severely, but did not
do serious damage except to the
stands of early melons and beans,
which were not protected, and will
have to be replanted. Only por-
ton of the fruit is injured, and the
remainder will be all the better, as
the trees always bear too abundant
~, and q thinning out is beneficial.
No damage was done to the regular
farm crops.
