There is some talk of the peach crop
being killed by the severe weather Of
the present winter. There is difference
of opinion. many per SOUS thinking just
such weather advantageous. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that degrees below zero
will kill fruit, but not when it comes as
it has this time. The critical period will
not come until the latter part of March
and in April when the sap in the trees
begins to flow and the buds form and
begin TO swell. Then if rain. sleet and
snow fill the cups and freeze, the peach
crop is surely killed.
