 A killing frost Tuesday morning which was so cold that it finished all of the tender crops which had formerly escaped the earlier lighter freezes caused lighter supplies and price advances for several products at the local farmers market yester- day.

Lima beans were light in supply also and sold somewhat higher. Peppers and tomatoes were frozen also but there were still some coming in which had been picked before the freeze. A few of the best native tomatoes sold for $150 per basket while oth- CTS which were fair sold around 75 cents.
