for several days. Sunday was a fine
day but cool. Monday morning white
frost was on the valley. Fruit men
feared the damage to fruit would be con-
siderable, but it has been found that
very little damage was done to fruit on
the trees. Strawberries in bloom were
killed. In some localities the peach,
prune and cherries were thinned out.
In the early strawberry patches berries
had formed and would have been ripe
in ten days more of good weather. Ripe
Strawberries will be two weeks later on
account of the frost.
