April brought us some freezing
weather. Last Friday and Saturday
proved the, coolest, the mercury fall
ing to about 20. Just what damage
was done to the fruit crop, especially
apples, cannot be fully determined,
but it is right serious, if not disas-

trees were perfectly dry and wind
prevailing, nothing in the fruit line

the wheat was injured were also ex-
pressed at the time. but it is hoped
that such fears were not confirmed,
as nothing has been heard as to the
matter during the week. 1t was
period that would have done full JUS
tice to early March.
