FROST DAMAGE IN NEW 

 ENGLAND. 

 Eighty per cent, of the corn crop of 

 New England has been wiped out by 

 two nights' successive frost; squash, 

 beans and tomatoes have suffered in 

 a proportionate degree, and small 

 gardens with vegetables such as cu- 

 cumbers and peppers have been elim- 

 inated, according to the secretary of 

 the State Board of .\griculture, Wil- 

 frid Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler had just 

 completed an extended trip through 

 Worcester county, and had read his 

 reports from Massachusetts and other 

 parts of New England. .-Vmong these 

 was one that indicated that Uncle 

 Sam's fighting forces may miss the 

 customary cranberries on Thanksgiv- 

 ing. Cranberry bogs were hit hard. 

 ■Root crops, such as potatoes, beets, 

 turnips, parsnips and carrots, were 

 uninjured, and the fruit had advanced 

 so far that the frost did not injure it. 

 The apples and pears were not affect- 

 ed. There was frost injury to grapes, 

 but the amount of grapes raised in 

 New England was almost negligible 

 this year."
