Ebe Danforth found patch of rasp-
berry bushes near his home, Friday Of
last week, which showed ripe fruit,
green berries and blossoms. and he
brought to this office one cutting on
which all three appeared side by side.
The middle Of August commonly sees
the end OF the raspberry season but 1t
seems that the warm weather of the last
few days has caused them grow what
may be termed a second crop. II the
frost should hold off for another week
it would be very good picking in several
places near Mr.. Danforth's farm and
very likely the same conditions exist in
other localities.
The temperature went below the freez-
ing point during Monday night, standing
at 81 above zero at five O'Clock on Tues
day morning and the first severe frost of
the season was the result. Some Sec
tions OF the town reported temperatures
as low as 26 above zero and the frost in
all localities was of nature to destroy
most field crops which had not been
gathered. There was plenty OF evidence
through the day, Monday, that it was
coming and we learn of several farmers
who worked late into the night cleaning
up the last few loads OF sweet corn. 1t
grew perceptibly warmer Tuesday and
Tuesday night and yesterday morning
the temperature stood from five to ten
degrees higher than on the previous day
