FARMERS FEAR
EFFECT OF STORM
ON EARLY CROPS
Warmer Weather Tomorrow
to Follow Ice, Snow
and Rain

Farmers and planters are much
concerned over the snow and rain
storm which has hovered over this
section for four days, bringing with
it a temperature below the freezing
point. The damage to fruit and early
crops may be greater than was at
first feared, 1t was reported this
morning. A precipitation of nearly
two inches, in the form of rain,
snow and sleet, has fallen during the
storm now enveloping the city. The
, weather bureau office instrument re-
ports a precipitation of 100 inches,
A half inch OF snow, which fell dur
ing the night, remained on the
ground this morning, making walk
ing conditions as bad as yesterday.
The lowest temperature last night
was 81 degrees. The highest tenn
perature yesterday was SS degrees
but this quickly sank to below the
freezing point. At O'Clock this
morning the temperature remained
at 81 degrees:
Fear For Early Crop
The storm of rain and snow has
been continuous since Monday
morning at $50, with a slight inter
mission between s and 1880 Mon
day. The storm has lasted more than
so hours. Weathes forcasters prom
ised clearing weather to-day, and
while the barometer at the local
weather bureau office showed &
slight rise, conditions do not point
to immediate clearing. Weather
Forecaster Demain said this morn
ing.
The fear increases that early crops
have been damaged by the storm
The increased snowfall last night
the cold rain and temperature, and
the sleet of the night before with its
attendant coating of ice, may be
more than the early crops of oats
potatoes, wheat and rye can survive
without material injury. A fear that
the storm will cause these crops tC
rot in the ground was voiced by
Farm Agent Niesley.
Early fruits, including apricots
plums and early cherries are also
likely to feel the effects of the storm
materially.
No rise in temperature before to.
morrow is predicted. The wind con.
tinues from the northeast.

Dandruhf Surely
DESTROYS The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by
all means get rid of dardruff, for
it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.
L. doesn't do much good TO try 70
brush or wash it out. Tho only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely. To do this get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp ana
rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Ry morning, most If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
suoy every single sign a 1d trace
OF il.
You will find, too, that nil itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look a1d feel o
hundred times better. You can
get liquid arvon at any drug store
1t is inexpensive and four ounces
is all you will need, no matter how
much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
