out of danger from frost and that OF
the garden owners and those having
flowers needing protection, resulted
in numerous inquiries: Are we TO

that all indications favored frost.
But it seems that, after all, the tenn
perature moderated after midnight,
over wide area. Not a trace of
frost was indicated at the Richmond
pumping plant, which lies at about as
low a spot as can be found in this
vicinity.

stated that they called over five OF
six counties Thursday without getting
a single report of frost. These calls
included elevators as far west as In
dianapolis, and north to Decatur, and
some southern points.
First Frost in 1919.
The local frost report for Richmond
in 1919 shows that our first killing

nothing left to kill. Our first frost.
and a very light one. as evidenced at
the pumping station, came on the
night of Sept. 26. There We're no
