WAS 86 AT 5 O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING BOTH SUNDAY AND TODAY “Thirty-six at 5 o’clock in the morning, both Sunday and today," replied the Daily Banner’s weather observer this morning, when asked for his figures. Asked if there were frosts, he re-
plied:
“Yes plenty." The figures are the lowest for th“ season, since the advent of higher ! temperatures last spring not far above the freezing point, in fact. The frost did but little damage to ! vegetation, with the exception or 1 late-blooming flowers, and most o: these blooming now are the hardy types, intended to resist some frost,
at least.
The temperature in low p aces in i the county may have been several degrees below that reported as official, and in those areas the injury to plants would be more severe. Farmers are hoping for additional 'itain without early frost to help late pasture and facilitate sowing of winter wheat. Hard ground is making the work difficult. Recent rains helped but more ar; needed to counteract effects of the long dry spells of late summer and early fall. S me wheat will be planted this week and many farmers are preparing to put in their wheat crops next week. An above average corn crop is forecast for the county, with the average yield expected to tun about i 55 or 60 bushels to the acre. Some j farms arc expected to produce 100 bushels to the acre. Corn is “well advanced’’ and j many farmeis are gathering Ur- | ciop ahead of the usual time. It is
