Dr0uth and Fr0sts.

Yesterday was the 45th day since this
section has been visited by rain, though
once or twice there were few drops
from passing showers that watered
other parts of the state. The Oldest resi-
dent cannot recall such a severe spring
drouth and unless heavy showers come
soon the damage to the hay crop, grain
crops, gardens and lawns will be dis.
astrous.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday morn.
ings there was quite frost, the mercury
dropping Saturday morning to 20 de.
grees, or nine degrees below freezing.
Those who had planted early found
radishes, beans and other vegetables
touched and the beautiful woodbines
around our houses were ruthlessly cut
down. The trees around the houses and
in the forests did not escape and the
oaks, ashes and butternuts suffered the
most while such hardy trees as the elm
and the maple escaped.
