made that the Council District had
bean severely damaged BY a freeze
On September 5th. We have since
learned that very little damage was
done. and that. only in the mes un-
favored spots. The Mesa Orchard
suffered no damage at all. The En-
teror.ze received its information
from. what seemed to be coed au-
thority-fruit buyers who were hand
ling some OF the fruit; but it is a.
most invariably the case, the scare
over q freeze is worst than the dam
age done.
The Mesa Orchard had shipped.
Up to the beginning of this week, 3S
cars OF Elberta peaches, and viii
ship about ten more cars. The esti-
mate on the apple crop on this same
orchard is 40 cars. We are gla5 to
make the above correction.
