-Nauyoo Independent: Another
blizzard last night and the fruit that
was not frozen on last Saturday and
Sunday nights. was probably finished
up. Mercury was down to 81 degrees
this morning. 3 degrees colder than
it was the other day, and all garden
truck appears to be frozen Even the
leaves on trees are curled up-frozen
and will probably fall off. A high
wind blew all night, but this did not
seem to lessen the damage by frost. !
The independents estimate of the
damage down to the fruit crop by the
late freezing weather appears to have
been conservative Some af the vint- |
ners fear that the grape crop has been
ruined-claiming that even
the second buds were nipped: while |
others thought there will be part of I
the crop. Fruit growers informed |
us that We would. have to have sew /
eral days of warm weather before
they could tell the status of the
apple and pear crop, but cherries were
all killed and peaches there would be
few. However this mornings freeze
has probably settled that question: |
there are any buds that survived the
killing frost it viii be wonder.
There may be chance for some
grapes If new buds come out. One
fruit grower says that the damage to
the fruit crop in Nauvoo will be near
er 100000 than $4,000 1t is q hard
blow to the community !
