ICE MADE IN SOME
PLACES LAST NIGHT

Delaware fruit growers were optl-
mistic today as 10 the possible damage
to fruit because OF the sudden drop in
the temperature last night. Ice was
made during the night in many places
in the state, and it was feared that
fruit had been seriously damaged.
Several growers In the lower part of
the State in conversation over the tele-
phone this morning stated that in their
opinion little damage had been done TO
fruit. They explained that fortunately
there was high wind during most Of
the night and that this saved the fruit.
Had there not been a strong wind the
buds on peach and other fruit trees
would probably have been ruined, but
the wind blew of the water that re-
msined on the buds from the rain yes
terdsy morning and dried them. With
the buds dry they were better able to
Withstand the cold without being ser
ionsly injured.
Strawberries In some localities may
have been damaged to some extent,
being low TO the ground, but not as
much as was at first feared. No dam
age was done TO grapes.
