NO SERIOUS DAMAGE
FROM THE FROST

Although the temperature got down
TO the danger point. Wednesday night.
IL is not believed that any material
damage was done to the fruit crop of
the Canon City district. Orchardists
generally agree that the snow was a
protection to the fruit. both from the
cold and from a too rapidthawing pro-
ces safter the sun came up in the
morning. An inspection of the fruit
trees In many parts of the district
this afternoon shows that only very
few Of the apple buds were killed.
even among the earlier varieties.
Cherries, plums and other fruits are
thonght also to have escaped serious
injury from the cold.
Some OF the truck growers and gar
deners are reported 10 have suffered
considerably from the freeze of We'd
nesday night. Radishes and other ear
ly vegetables were nipped by the frost
and IN some localities the beds will
have to be replanted to secure a crop.
Generally speaking. neither vegeta-
tion nor fruit buds were sufficiently
advanced to be hurt by the low tenn
perature of Wednesday night.

Little Dorothy Bradford Ballou,
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Bal
lou, aged years. and lineal descend
ant in the tenth generation of wn-
liam Bradford. the first governor of
Massachusetts co'ony. has been pre-
sented with one OF the famous May
flower" spoons by DR.. Edith L. Clarke.
formerly of this city. but now living
at Akron. Colorado. The spoon Is of
pewter and was cast in a mold brought
to this country from Holland by the
Pilgims on the good ship Mayfiower
in 1920. 1t holds about as much rs the
ordinary tablespoon and gives one an
excellent idea of the advance made in
the silversmith's art during the last
three hundred pears.
II is an exact duplicate of the
spoons used by Governor Bradford
and his associates on board the May
flower and is chiefly interesting IS
