careful investigation to day, de
clared that if no colder weather il
had and buds continue to develop,
there will be a half crop Of peaches
and a fourth crop of apples. There
will be comparatively few, il any,
pears and cherries.
In this section the Strawberries
were not in bloom when the first
frost came, and on this account in
this section they will not suffer.
In the southern part of the State,
however, where this fruit was in
bloom, the crop will be consider
ably injured.
Genitlng apples, being late
boomers, are not in bloom in this
section and were little injured
The greater part of the crop will
probably be of this variety.

cold, raw and unfavorable. The
deficiency in temperature was
marked IN all divisions, ranging
from ten to fifteen degrees per day.
Freezing temperature with killing
