ther Trouble-No Japanese Plume,

Inquiry as to the fruit conditions
in this section, and particularly in
this county is not nearly SO diecour-
aging as was expected when the hard
freeze came few mornings ago The
general impression was that there
would be but little fruit survive. This
was a mistake, as recent inquiry in
dicates.
Peaches appear to have suffered
worse than any other fruit, but with
out further trouble there will be a
reasonably fair crop of peaches. and
the damage to this fruit was in the
lower places. Where there was a
high open orchard the damage was
much less than in the lower places.
In speaking of the prospects this
morning a prominent fruit grower
stated that there would be at least
half crop of peaches without some
other trouble followed, and that
pears and cherries were all right. In
some places the pears suffered slight
ly, but that cherries were in good
condition, and the apple crop is prac-
tically unhurt.
The Japanese plums, of which
there was such bountiful crop last
year will be very scarce, as it 10 IN
early bloomer, and got caught b. the
freeze. What fruit there is left
promises to be of very fine quality,
and there is a prospect now that this
county will have two years of fruit
succession.
The present disagreeahle weather,
with its persistent continuance may
result to the disadvantage of the
fruit not otherwise injured.
