Bright For Fruit in Missouri.

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. 28.-Pros-
poets for good fruit crop are better
now than they have been at this sea-
son of the year in the last ten years.
The recent billiards. caused reports
over the state that the fruit crop has
been ruined but DR.. j. C. Written,
horticultural at the Missouri Expert
ment Station here, says the backward
condition of the fruit buds is greatly
in favor Of large crop.
Doctor Written does not believe
that there will be any serious danger
to the fruit crop after this month.
The buds have been protected fully
by the cold weather up to this time,
and he thinks it would require more
warm days than we are likely to have
to make the buds grow enough to
expose them to injury from spring
frosts.
