Frost HELPED Oats

Last week, opinion seemed to be di-
vided among farmers as to the effect
the big freeze had had on the young
oat crop, many folks believing it
had hillcd them and others believ-
ing it had helped. 1t seems. that la
ter events have about proved that
the freeze was a blessing in disguise,
for the belief seems to be common
that it killed many green bugs and
probably saved the crop. To say the
least of it, the green bugs food sup
ply was killed, and those animals
are short lived when their food is
taken away from them. experts say.
