The Arst killing frost Of the sea-
son hit Highland last Saturday night.
1t was anticipated and many Of the
farmers and truckers Were ready for
it, but in not few instances the corn
\ was not in condition to cut and, OF
course, damage to the fodder resulted.
Even with these losses, the corn crop
Jared much better than was predict
ed early in the season. Jack Frost de-
layed his coming until late date for
our climate and altitude. The mer-
curry went little below the freezing
point, but no damage to fruit was no
ticed, neither was fall pasture injur-
ed so far as we have learned.
