June Frost Injurious to Cora and Onions in Jasper.

Jack Frost paid a late return engagement Monday night, June 9th, and left his marks in several corn fields and onion patches. While the low lands were the worst injured, spots on higher land are also said to have been damaged. The extent of the injury to crops can not be ascertained today* ,although several reports have reached this office that the damage in the muck soil country was extensive. Later information from Newland is to the effect that onions and com on the muck soil was very seriously damaged, and in some cases entire fields were killed. Tom Callahan talked with one of his tenants, James Rees, who informed him that one 5-acre field of onions was killed outright, while another field of 6 acres, very near by, was damaged only about the edges. The field that was killed was all elean, haw ing just been weeded, while the other field was still quite weedy. Mr. Callahan understands that it was the clean onions that suffered the worst in that section. Mrs. S. L. Jordan reports that 10 acers of muck corn seems entirely killed.
