PEARS FOR THE CROPS.
Some Anxiety as to the Extent OF Il
Damage by the Recent Frosts.

Some Anxiety as to the Extent OF the
Damage by the Recent Frosts.
Many of the farmers throughout the
State are feeling gloomy over The probable
result Of the recent frosts. Some feel sure
that their early strawberries have been
ruined and they are watching the vines
closely to ascertain the extent Of the
damage.
As a rule, It is believed, peaches have
not been hurt badly, but where the foliage
was light much Of the fruit was nipped
and heavy fall OF the young buds would
not be surprising. Where the buds were
protected by the leaves the damage was
not as great. There is a difference Of
opinion as to the apple and cherry crops.
In the country around Wilmington
some Of the leaves Of the fruit trees have
turned black from the effects Of the frost
which shows that it was not light Some
Of the farmers fear that there will be
more freezing weather, which would mean
the total destruction Of the fruit.
