Milford chronicle., 1922-04-21

Early potatoes are showing through
the ground and fear is entertained FOL
this crop should the cool nights that
this section has experienced during
the past week continue. In anticipa-
tiOn of frost orchard heaters are kept
in readiness for immediate use should
they be required in the Chandler or
chards. The danger from frost will be
passed in the next ten days. This
orchard is heavily set with fruit and
one of the largest peach and apple
crops in its history is expected. Last
week the orchards were beautiful in
their riot of color, but the high
winds of the past few days have blown
off the petals and the young fruit is
now exposed, a most dangerous time
from frost. Last year the peach, pear
and apple crops were destroyed by
frost about the middle of April, after
the heaters had been removed. Mr..
Chandler is taking no chance this
year by removing them.
On the Apple Tree Farm, just west
of the Chandler farm, those trees that
have come into bearing are heavily
set with fruit and this venture will
this year come into profit.
The work on Lank's new garage is
progressing rapidly and will be ready

week so that the glass front of the
new con be put in.
