II is not yet definitely determined
what the extent of the damage the
recent few days of extremely cold
weather has done in this section
One among the best and largest
Kindig grove, is located here Tor near
here) and we understand that it is
estimated the damage done in this
grove is about $4,000. This is
based on the fruit frozen in the grove
and the bloom and next seasons crop
Messrs Machlin and Green who re
Gently set out a nice little grove had
their trees banked up considerably
above the bud the budded part of
the trees and therefore while the
tops of the trees are killed the bud is
saved. Some young oats were frozen
and it is probable will not come out
again. All told the damage here was
very little, and the farmers and stock
men are looking to the better side of
this unusual and unavoidable event.
1t is pointed out that there will be
much better crops raised this year
as the roots of the weeds and grass
have been frozen and the ground is in
much better condition for the growing
of general crops. Innumerable in
sects and germs have been destroyed
and we will all be healthier for a
year.
Ii has been suggested that when a
people live in perpetual summer time
and luxury that they fall into a kind
of INDECENT habit and becme so alb
sorbed in their environments that, to
be disturbed, brings forth a cOnsid-
cradle howl and cry of resentment.
We may read and read of the suffer
ings of others and yet never know
what the true definition of the words
mean until we. ourselves, personally
experience it. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Lincoln would never have known
the true definition of the term spit
ting rails" had he not known from
personal experience. Pity we could
not get this doctrine before our peO-
Pile. If the boy is going to be farmer
it is we'll to give him the benefit of
the scientific works and researches.
but at the same time give him TO dis
tinctly understand that he does not
know the definition of farming until
he has made a personal and practical
application of so many years. Along
this line so many of our boys and
girls fail 10 realize that when they
have finished school that they are
only empty and ready for the real
information of the world.
Lets look on the bright side OF The
cold wave and see its benefits as well
as its per cent of losses. Also let US
learn lessons from il.
