VOLUME 17-NUMBER 24
Flowers blooming, birds
singing, barefoot children play
ing in the warm sunsine all re
mind us that spring has arrived.
Much to everyone’s happiness,
even those who are reminded
that with the abasence of winter
cold, less fuel will be needed,
we welcome the arrival of re
lief from the severe cold that
has been with us for the past
months.
As the peach trees hang full
of pink blooms, the tractors
hum over the county preparing
the ground for seed. The far
mers agree that they are a little
late in getting the land ready
for planting but most of them
optimistcly look forward to a
good crop year.
Several weeks ago, enough
hours of cold weather had al
ready been registered to as
sure the peach crop. Now the
peach men just anxiously wait
for the end of March with hope
that no more frigid weather
hits to end the life of the little
peaches in all those beautiful
blooms. One authority has
said that after March 27, we can
feel fairly sure of not enough
cold to damage peaches.

with her editorial on Febru
