People in this section interest
ed in the fruit crop have been
much disturbed for several
weeks on account of the very
warm weather, which has caused
peach trees, fig bushes and many
varieties of berries to display
signs of budding. The greater
part of the last week was more
like June than February, and
when the cold rain set in Thurs
day night owners of orchards
breathed sigh of relief. 1t is
believed that the cool spell of
this week will retard the fruit
sufficiently to cause it to miss a
killing frost.
