Farmers are much concerned
about the coming fruit crop since
the drop in temperature this week.
Heavy frosts and ice nearly a quar-
ter of an inch thick has been form
ed on two nights. Although the
peach crop was not expected to be
heavy this season, due to the very
cold weather last winter, farmers
now claim practically all the buds
are gone. The extent of the damage
done to apples cannot be determined
but it is thought they are not kill
ed to a great extent as the buds are
not advanced. The strawberry crop
so far is not damaged, but it will be
unusually late. The berry acreage is
growing considerably in this COM
munity and the crop is looking very
good considering the weather con-
ditions.
