Our Hesitatinu sprino.

Jacksonville Courier: April is upon
us with her varying moods. The few
days which have elapsed tend to force
the belief that she may be more
devious in her ways than was March,
which this year was a remarkably
well behaved maiden. Each succeed
ing day, with its cool air, its chilly
winds or its hoary frosts, gives cheer
in that it brings us one day nearer
to the time when our faith in Nature
may be cemented by reality, rather
than shattered as was the case last
year
One year ago today and the cherry
blossoms had all but become things
Of the past, the peach and the pear
and other fruits had blossomed dur
ing the early spring, urged to burst
forth by the balmy days of March.
The shade trees and all shrubbery
had put on its garb of green. And
we were proud people. California
had nothing in. climate which could
compare with glorious Illinois And
we went boldly on and made garden
and dug bait, set hens and otherwise
manifested our faith in the notion
that all was well
But fell destroyer in the shape OF
snow and sleet storm, followed by
a severe freeze blasted everything,
from grape vine to fondest hope, and
there was woe In the land Instead
Of cherries and peaches and apples we
were forced to get along with toma.
toes and potatoes and pumpkins and
the like. And we all down IN our
hearts cherished the hope that 1t
couldn't soon happen again.
This year the fruit prospects are
good. The buds have been discour-
aged from shooting by the low temper
ature. The trees have made little
progress toward leaving. Growing
things apparently have needed the
lesson so bitterly learned last season.
II Spring may hesitate and refuse
to bestow her graces upon us for a
few days longer there is every pros
pect for banner production OF good
things.
last year the pail OF destruction
was spread during the night OF April
%. But last season was many. many
days farther advanced than is this
one.
