| WHAT KILLED THE PEACHES
Fruit Growers Differ as to Cause of
Total Failure.

Some one has expressed douot
that there is a peach bud in this
county. While this may be putting it
little strongly it is fact that the
peach crop this fall will be total fail
ure. 1t is doubtful if there will be a
bushel of peaches harvested in the
county. Fruit growers are specializing
upon the cause. Some say that the
extreme cold last winter when the
thermometer went to 16 degrees below
zero killed the buds. Others say the
damage was done by hard freeze I'M
mediately following a rain. Probably
the fact that there was a record pro
duction last season, leaving the vital
ity of the trees weakened, had some
thing to do with the failure of the
buds to survive the winter
There is a heavy crop of blossoms
on practically all other varities OF
