The cold snap Of last week didn't
do much damage to anything in this
section except to kill some of the
early garden truck, as the fruit is re-
ported to have passed through with
out being hurt but little, IL any, and
there are number Of orchards in this
vicinity that will bear this year for
the first time and the yield is expect
ed to be something immense, and IL
is to be hoped that nothing will hap
pen to hinder these orchards from
doing their very best this year.
