When interviewed regarding the
damage done by this freeze, E. F.
Stephens of Crete, ex-president OF the
State Horticultural society and an ac.
| knowledged authority among horticul-
turalists of the state, expressed little
fear of any serious results. THE
peach crop" said Mr.. Stephens, was
entirely ruined by the unusual sever
ity of the winter. Plums are the only
other fruit sufficiently advanced to
suffer serious results from this cold
and the destruction of the plum crop
is now no doubt completed, but for
tunately it is not very important one
in this state. Apples, cherries and
the smaller fruits are not far enough
advanced to have suffered serious in
jury, and give promise of a very good
crop. The gradual rise in the TEN
perature, both yesterday morning
and this morning as well has tended
to modify the effects of the low tenn
erature prevailing during the night;
otherwise the results might have been
more serious. Except for the peaches
and plums there is yet promise Of a
good fruit crop for our state"
