After making a careful inspec-
ton of the Chandler orchards Leroy
Lynch, orchardist, stated to the
writer that peaches were but little
damaged by the cold weather of the
early week, and that if nothing else
occurs there will be bumper crop.
He also examined the Pratt orchards
and found the same condition pre-
walls there. Pears, especially keiffers
we're considerably damaged but there
are enough live buds left to insure
= fair crop. Apple trees were the
least damaged, not having been so
,ar advanced as peach and pears. Ac-
3ording to Mr.. Lynch no ice formed
n the buds on the Chandler or
ehards, and if it had the fact that
he days since have been cloudy
the destruction of the
buds. Had ice formed and the next
lay had been sunny no doubt the
crop would have been ruined, but
,uch conditions did not prevail and
here are yet alive enough buds to
insure a full peach and apple crop
n these orchards. AS a precaution
against further damage by cold and
rOsts orchard heaters have been
tut out in the orchards and the Their
closely watched during the
light.
