The recent spell Of very cold wealth.
er was very unusual and is said to
have been the coolest in Is years, and
only three times since 1860 has such
weather been experienced in many Of
our localities. This cold weather has
caused much concern among fruit
growers. many fearing that the trees
are severely injured. The o. A. c.
experiment station has received
many communications from various
parts Of the state asking for infor-
nation on this subject. The present
indications are that the loss was rath-
er light, especially in sections west
of the Cascade mountains. Some in
jury has been done in sections Of the
inland empire.
Two Kinds Of Injury.
Injuries from freezing are Of two
kinds: First, those that damage fruit
buds. especially on such fruits as the
almond, peach apricot and cherry;
and. second, those that damage the
twlgs and often the main branches
and trunks Of trees. A few cOmmuni-
cations have been sent in concerning
cherry trees that were quite severely
injured by splitting. one man report
ing cracks three feet long and one
fourth inch wide.
Such injury would only come, how
ever. in cases where trees are very
much Oyergrown and where they are
not allowed to mature properly. Many
people are asking. How much cold can
fruit buds stand? And, How much
cold does il take TO kill the body Of
the tree? The answer is that it de-
pends entirely upon conditions. The
kind Of soil has an influence. Injury
is apt TO be the heaviest In unprotect-
ed. dry soils. Fortunately this year

THE TAX INCREASE.


The Herald has been handed mem.
orandnm showing the tax levy for the
coming year, being an increase of 3
mills on the dollar.
Last year the tax levy was mills
with total appropriations OF s5S,5l5
This year with 3 mill increase the
total revenue is placed at $62.260, an
increase of s4,10O over that of last
year According to estimates this in
crease is to be used as follows: $4,000
to build new bridge across the Animas
to the cemetery and building stone
wing walls TO the Main avenue bridge;
$1,000 for tearing down the old frame
buildings on Second avenue and Tenth
streets and building addition to the
east side of the city hall for fire ap-
parstus.
The assessed valuation is less by
practically 100000 than last year.
While the appropriations will not
be made until the close of the fiscal
year 1t is said $4,000 will be for
streets and alleys, half of the amount
for cement crossings. The appropria
tion for this year is $500 along with
$4,000 for the storm sewer, making u
total of $4,000
