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.
