FRUIT, BERRY
 CROPS HARD HIT
PEACHES. PLIMS AND CHERRIES KILLED IN SOME SECTIONS
 OF STATE.

Arkansas fruit and berry crops have ing to incomplete reports received last night in the office of C. s. Bouton. chief statistician of the Bureau of Crop Estimates Full reports will not be re ccived until late today. Mir Bouton said. and he could not give complete and definite estimate of the damage.
 Incomplete reports from Washington and Benton counties. the leading apple counties in the state. indicate that the apple crop has been badly injured, but full report of the damage cannot be made until today. Washington county reports indicate that peaches, pinms and cherries have been killed. Mir. Bouton said.
 Bert Johnson. owner of the Highland orchard near Nashville. which IS the largest peach orchard i'll the world. re ported that his crop suffered practl- cally no damage from the freeze. Al thong hthe tempera ture dropped to "l degrees if was not cold enough to hurt the crop. he said.
 Strawberries probably were hard hit' Mir Bouton said. and it is probable that at least 2l per cent of me a."o acres of strawberries in White county have been hlighted. Washington and Heuton county growers expect to lose nart of their crop, reports lhdleate Sevier county's crop is believed to nave veathered the freeze in good shape
 While the strawberry crop may have suffered heavy loss. it is probable 1 rhat ifs loss may result in commer cial gain to strawberry growers.

Avenue Block

The action Of the Board of Estimate
OF Friday in denying unanimously the
petition to remove the restrictions
against business from the east side Of
Madison Avenue, between Thirty-eighth
and Thirty-ninth streets, ends what
has been ths most determined effort to
remove the zoning restrictions on
Murray Hill. Since April the Board
of Estimate has turned down three
petitions in all to admit business to
Murray Hill streets, namely 10 Fortieth
Street, between Madison and Park ave
nues. and to Lexington Avenue. from
Thirty-ninth to Forty-hrst streets, as
we'll as TO Madison Avenue.
Another significant feature Of the

Der OF the petitioners in the Murray
Hill cases who had openly violated
the law and then wanted their acts

was passed in 1916. and who now want
