farmers are worried over the prospect
for frost during the present month
September started in with very low
temperature, and owing to the late
start much of the corn had last spring
1t is believed an early frost would do
more than ordinary damage. Farmers
who have large crops are perusng
the statements OF the weather for the
past ten years. Much fear is ex-
pressed that again this year, like six
years ago, the first killing" frost will
come during the first half Of the
month. The fate Of the late corn here
depends upon the temperature of the
next two weeks.
