CLOVER IS ALSO HARD HIT
Fear Expressed That Orchard CrasU
And Other Pasture and Meadows
Grasses Are Injured-"Turnip Sat-

AS the result of the severe winter
grave fears are entertained for the
wheat crop in the county and many
farmers are also fearful that the Glow
or crop has sbeen very seriously In
jured and in some cases absolutely

grass and meadows have received .
blow from which they cannot recover.
The wheat fields have never, in the
experience of the oldest and most oh
servant farmers of the county, pre-
sented more uninviting prospect
than they do at this time. Fields
where two months ago there was Q
fine stand of wheat are to the casual
observer as bare Of vegetation today
as the city street. There are in some
fields little or no indication that any
of the wheat has escaped.
Many farmers are of the opinion.
that the wheat crop is irreparably In
jured and some of them have an
nounced their intention of blowing up
the fields and planting them In corn
or oats. There are others who do not
take such a gloomy view of the situa-
ton, but state that no wheat crop II
ever made in the middle OF the winter
and that when spring sun and rains
come there will be a remarkable
change.
Opinion likewise differs as to the In
