SMALL CROP OF
 PEACHES THIS YEAR
February Frost Was Disastrous on
 Trees in the State.

Public Utilities Commissioner J. Howard Hale of Glastonbury says the crop of peaches in Connecticut this year will be about 50 per cent of a full crop. The frost in Connecticut on the night of Feb. had a disast- rous effect on the peach trees in some places, and was felt more or jess throughout the state.
 What was the extent of your loss? ?''
 'In the damage done our trees in Glastonbury we were the hardest hit of any other peach grower in the state. Our loss was 99 per cent. That is to say, from trees which we ex- pected to harvest 100000 baskets of peaches we will have only about one thousand. During the forty-seven years in which we have been culti- vating peaches we have only once be- fore been so badly hit by the frost. Tn Seymour, where we have an or chard, we will have a 50 per cent. crop. But an abundant apple crop is expected and that will help us stand our loss on peaches" said MT, Hale
