Say Cold is a Benefit.
In talking with a nnmber of
Benton farmers, it is learned that
the, cold spell of the past few
days is not thought to have
damaged the growing grain in
the least. Grass in the pastures,
however, it thought to have been
checked to some extent, although
nearly all stock is yet doing well
without feed, only during the
short time that snow covered the
ground.
Fruitmen say that the cold is
an actual benefit, as it retards
the early development- of the
fruit buds, causing them not to
come out until all danger of late
frosts are over.
