Kills The Peach Buds 10
Northern Ohio

Toledo, Feb. THE peach crop
throughout this section Is doomed, In
the opinion OF resident peach growers.
This condition is due, it is said, to the
freezing of the buds during the ex-
treme cold weather in January. Buds
of other fruit trees are believed to be
uninjured.
1--WE have made close examination
of the buds on our peach trees and
have found nearly every one of them
killed by the cold" said Mrs. Frank
Burgie. "The peach crop is done for
this wear. The few remaining live
buds will doubtless be frozen before
the end of the cold weather"
Reports from growers on the main
land in the vicinity of Oak Harbor.
Port Clinton and other points are that
the peach buds there are dead and.
that tho crop is ruined.
