SMALL FRUIT IS
NOT DAMAGED
Farmers of the County Think
That Cold Snap Did Not
Affect Vegetation
LIGHT SNOW PROTECTS IT
LIGHT SNOW PROTECTS
Danger Will Lie With Tonisht's Tenn
perature, and Prospects Are Good
For a Freeze-Mercury Goes Down
to Three Below Freezing In the City
and as Low as Six In the Country.

From inquiries made by the Times
Republican to farmers in different parts
Of the county today, the damage by
frost. as the result of Wednesday
nights cold SNAP, is not material, III
any. But one out Of five inquiries is
to the effect that any,damage to small
fruit was sustained, but the general
opinion seems to be that the low tem-
perature tonight will prove disastrous.
The mercury dropped three below
freezing in the city, reaching 30, with
the maximum for the day 6S. The
precipitation was 10 of an inch. In the
country reports indicate that IS was
reached in some localities, and in 9TH
ers it is reported that the temperature
reached s degrees below freezing
point.
w. !. Lybarger, living in Taylor town
ship, says that SO far as he is able
to judge today his fruit was not in
jured in the least. Very young to-
mato plants, set out a few days ago,
showed the effects of the nipping, but
they We're not damaged, and straight
ened up when the sun came out. II the
tomato plants, tender as they are, were
not damaged, he Ices not fear for
fruit.
A. c. Diller. of Taylor, who raises a
great deal Of fruit, and who has in
bloom cherries. pluns, pears and
peaches, was not able to notice any
bad effects from the slight freeze. The
apples, he thinks, are hardly far enough
along to be affected where other var
ieties of small fruit might have been
expected to suffer.
J. B. Cripps, OF Albion, one of the
prominent fruit growers of the county,
thinks that scarcely n damage was
done to small fruit. Nj. Grips cherry
and plum trees are in full bloom, and
the peaches are coming out. He can
not find that any of the trees We're
damaged. and thinks that the wind and
light fall OF now gave a great pro-
Strawberries in bloom were
hurt. Mr.. Grips thinks that the
danger will lie In tonight's temper
ature.
B. r. Smith. OF Timber Greek town
ship, investigated his orchards his
morning to observe what damage might
been sustained. IL any. He says
his thermometer registered 6 be-
low freezing this morning early, but
he can find NJ indications OF damage.
He has plums, cherries and apples In
bloom.
A. D.. Summers, living southeast of
the city, is not SD optimistic, and as
as his orchards are concerned feels
that the damage has been great. His
plum trees opened yesterday and the
ground under them is white with BIOS
SONS today. The mercury went down
%, and water standing in vessels
were protected, had ice over the
tops to the thickness Of ordinary win
dow glass this morning. MI. Summers
does not fear SO much for the apples,
which he says are not far enough
along. and says that a great many of
the varieties will stand considerable
freezing. Mr.. Summers thinks that
tonfght's prospective freeze will about
finish up the greater part Of the small
fruit.
