SAYS PEACHES AND
PEARS ALL ESCAPED
T. p. Latin of Opinion, However, that
Early Plums and Cherries Have
Been Killed by Frost.

T. P. Latin. deputy game warden,
who is also a horticulturist on a large
scale, reports to The Argus that
peaches and pears on his 40-acre fruit
farm three miles south of Milan have
not so far been affected by the cold
weather. Mr.. Laflin's peaches include
Elbertas, Altons. Mamie ROSES, and
other fine varieties. All bore heavily
last season but all are full of bloom
and apparently not in the least affec-
ted by the frost. The same is true Of
the pears. Apples are not in blossom
but the buds don't seem to have been
damaged
Mr.. Latin declares, however. that
early plums are all killed and in his
opinion and that of Phil Zahn, an eX-
tensive grower, cherries have been
badly injured, if not entirely killed.
