Thursday night, but so far as we can
learn the damage to fruit and vege-
tables will not be very great. Gardeners
who had early corn up found it nipped.
Delmar, DEL, April 1.-THE frost Of
last night, which was heavy here, played
hevoc with fruit and early vegetables in
lower Delaware and Maryland.
The foliage on peach. pear, plum and
apple trees was frozen. and it is said by
the large growers that the crop is very
badly injured.
Early varieties of Strawberries, which
were in full blossom earlier than ever
before, are beyond question killed.
The early potato crop was not injured
to any extent, but small vegetables were
killed outright.
Seaford. DEL, April Delaware s
largest fruit growers are much alarmed
over the prevailing weather conditions.
fearing it has greatly injured the fruit
crops.
At noon yesterday the mercury began
to fall slowly, and at 5o'clock this morn
ing the thermometer registered 80 de-
grees. Messrs. Brown & Bros, among
the largest fruit growers of this State,
when asked this morning about the in
juries to fruits, gave out the following
statement
1--WE do not believe the peach crop is
injured by the frosts and low temper
ature last night, since they are so very
well advanced. but the earlier varieties
of Strawberries and apples, which at
this time are in full bloom, we believe
are greatly injured.
Robert A. Figgs and other farmers
noted for their extensive fruit growing,
substantiated this statement.
Hagerstown, Md. April Ia. SO far
as the observation of fruit men extends,
light frosts occurring last night and
Tuesday night in this section did not do
any damage to the fruit. 1t is claimed
that the fruit is too far developed to be
injured by any change except severe
freeze. and the danger point is believed
to have been passed. The only damage
done by the frosts was to early vege-
tables.
Denton. Md. April H.-There was a
light frost here last night, but no dam
age was done.

So many new laws were passed
by the Legislature at its recent session
that we have not been able to keep up
with those Of local nature affecting
Worcester County. One law that we
have followed was that changing the
terms Of Court in Worcester County.
This was advocated in an editorial in
this paper and was passed IN accordance
with the suggestions Of Judges Jones and
Holland. The law goes into effect in
1911 and changes the Spring term Of
Court in this county from the third Mon
day in May TO the fourth Monday in
March. This Is done for the benefit Of
the farmers, who are always very busy
about the middle Of May. The Cover

In gas factory at Ivry, near Paris,
a Laval turbine, driven by Jets of
