Light Frost Is Noticeable In
Some Portions of County,
But Corn Is Not Hurt
FARMERS ARE VERY HAPPY
Think That the Present Indications
Point Toward Warmer Weather, and
Danger is Passed for a Few Days
Mercury Reached SO on Thursday
Night.

With the mercury registering at 80
as the minimum. degree above freez-
ing, killing frost was again ayerted
Thursday night and today the farmers
are happy. Indications point to warm
er weather for few days, and 1t Is
hoped that after all the corn crop of the
county will be saved from the great
damage that would result to fields that
are not yet out of harms way.
In some portions Of the county a
light frost was noticeable early this
morning. hu. 1t was not sufficient to
do any damage. Reports to the T.-R.
from different parts of the county in
/ dicate that the farmers are not at all
worried over the results of Thursday
night, and are decidedly more hopeful
as to the future. In some of the bottom
lands the frost was naturally heavier,
yet in other low ground there was no
appearance at all. Reports from the
northern part of the county, and even
up to the Grundy county line, and the
neighborhood of Beaman, say that il
there was frost at all it was so slight
lit was not noticeable
There was more anxiety felt over thu
situation Thursday night than any time
this week The skies were clear as a
bell, and but little breeze was stirring.
About all that can be hoped, even with
the best of weather conditions is to
have the frost hold back sufficiently to
assure good corn on the uplands. Some
of the bottom land corn cannot be ex-
pected to make crop, owing to its late
planting, but ii the yield Of the higher
ground can be saved. without frost
damage, Marshall county will do as vel, |
as any part of the state.
The maximum temperature for
Thursday was So, which was a rise OF
{ degrees over the two preceding days. |!
This morning, when the observation
was taken, at $50, it was considerably
warmer than during the coldest part of
the night, and the minimum set at Al, |
which was only 10 degrees below the
maximum of Tuesday and Wednesday. /
Reports fro mother parts of the state
indicate warmer weather. So light was |
the frost in the city that the report to I
the weather bureau, as made by OBJ |
server Jones, does not indicate the
presence of frost at all. The precipita-
tion for Thursday was .0l of an inch.
