THE FEAR OF FROSTS.

Farmers and fruit growers are in nip 1
easy state of inlnd mind because of the
unusually advanced season and the
grave danger of datnago to their fruit
trees by April fronts. The blah tour
paratures of the past week have givon
foliage of all kinds an unusual “turf.
and with apples. pears. plums and
peaches the buds are now almost as
well matured as they Illllilily are In the
last week of April.
it is not at all unusual to get sovoro
fronts in early April and if such a
front should occur within the next
week it won do almost luasilmahlc
damage to f tilt trees and might 8t'l‘i~
oualy afloat other growing things.
if no more frosts coma fortune will
be with the farmers, but if there lll't‘.
frosts. the consequences. financial, and
otherwise. are likely tone very sort»
one. Some amateur proxnoattcatoru
have been predicting a drop of from
twenty to thirty degrees within a few
days and if such a thin. occurs the top»
tier butts of the fruit trees Would have
little chance to survive.
