Fruit men In this section are feai>
ful that tonight's expected freeze will
seriously Injure the fruit prospect
Telegraphic reports from points fur
ther north and west lndloate that some
of the severest weather of the winter
Is being oxperlnced. Snow Is falling
over a wide area, and over practically
the entire continent the mercury Is
tumbling. Reports published in The
Herald this evening Indicate that In
many localities the coldest weather of
the winter is at hand.
Certain it Is that all day the wind
-has been coming down out of the
northwest "like a house afire.’’ The
temperature herd is falling rapidly,,
and there will probably be a hard
freeze tonight
Tho effect upon the fruit crop will .
necessarily be disastrous. While there
Is little likelihood that the crop, will
be entirely/ruined, it can not he
doubted that thousands of the early
blooming peach trees, and pear qnd
plum treoB generally, will be seriously
blighted. The final effect will be tho
curtailment of the crop and the.-stunt
ing of fruit.
Mady fruit men In this part of the
state have exposed the roots of trees
in their orchards for the purpose of
holding bade the blooms, a precaution
which Is being proved to have been
wise.
