WHEN TO EXPECT a KILLING
FROST.

Usually the first killing frost of
the fall season comes when the moon
is full. There seems to be something
in clear moonlight nights that induc-
es the frost king to venture forth
and lay his icy hands upon the yege-
tation which the summer has nurtur-
ed.
If We can get past the full of the
present moon without frost, we can
reasonably expect the two weeks OF
corn weather that our corn so badly
needs.
