 Peach Crop Assured
 Local farmers feel assured that the peach crop for the year is safe from frosts for the remainder of the season. Due to the warm weather the buds have swollen to large size. The danger now is that there will be a light frost and if the buds are too far advanced. they will be destroyed. This danger is slight. however. The farmers feel that if the frost has not killed the buds by the first of March the chances are fair that the crop will be safe for the remainder of the winter.
