Georgetown, May IA. "A valuable

the day he went to put some water into

So frightened was Mr.. Pepper that
he went to see a physician, leaving the

Peaches May Have Escaped, But Other
Crops WIN Suffer Severely,
Special Correspondence Of Every Evening.
Georgetown, May IA. Last Saturday
was farmers day in Georgetown, many
coming to find from the others how
the fruit and berry crop stood the late
frosts.
The general opinion was that the
frosts did not damage the young peach
as much as was at first thought, as the
foliage had a tendency to protect the
fruit, yet it will cause thousands to
fall from the trees during the June
drop. This, however, may be a good
thing, as the trees would not be able
to bear half Of the peaches now on the
limbs.
The strawberry did not fare as we'll,
as many Of the berries were killed and
the crop will beicut short, over one
half; also, it will be a week or so later
in ripening.
Young potato vines were completely
nipped to the ground, and the sweet
potato vines also. The white potato,
however, will sprout again, but will
not be so early.
The apple, pear, pea and other crops
were greatly damaged by the frosts
