 the prevailing direction being south. The maximum velocity was 39 

 miles per hour on the 17th. Dr. Shaw of the Department of Pomology 

 gives the following report: 



"The cool weather during the blossoming season seems not 

 to have been very injurious to the set in apples. The past 

 severe winters show their effect in prospective light crops 

 of Baldwins and Gravensteins. Other important varieties 

 promise normal crops or better. The peach crop will be 

 very light and scattered. Many plum varieties will have light 

 crops due to the severe winter cold of the past two years. 

 Abundant rain has assured a heavy crop of strawberries but 

 there has been some loss from rot of the berries."
