Three Successive
Frosts Hit County
But Damage Slight

Garrett county weathered three
successive frosts last weekend, with
out any extensive damage, and its
farmers are now looking forward to
at least another two weeks Of late
summer weather before any killing
frost occurs.
The lack of damage to the crops
and flowers is attributed to the fog
and the waning moon.
Friday morning the thermometer
registered "a degrees at the govern
ment station at Weber's, but on both
Saturday and Sunday mornings the
mercury dropped to 81 degrees. The
frost nipped vegetable gardens and
farm crops but the fog prevented any
extensive injury. The ground was
white in scattered sections of the
county.
Farmers ventured the opinion that
if the moon had been on the increase,
the frost would have been killing, but
as it was the frost was drawn out
slowly from everything it touched.
Since Sunday the low reading has
varied from 35 to 40 degrees.
