FROST IN MICHIGAN. 



The Michigan seed growing sections 

 had unseasonably cold weather last week, 

 with frost in some places heavy enough 

 to do considerable damage. As usual in 

 such cases, reports of the injury to crops 

 appear to be exaggerated. How the situ- 

 ation looks to growers in different sec- 

 tions is shown by the following letters : 



W. H. Grennell, Saginaw, wrote Sep- 

 tember 4 : " The frost in central Michi- 

 gan August 29 and September 1 killed 

 beans, corn, potatoes and cucumbers that 

 are not ripe. I estimate late varieties of 

 beans will be very short. It is likely all 

 pole varieties are lost, and on early vari- 

 eties one-quarter are lost. Peas are com- 

 ing much shorter than estimates and per- 

 centages are out of the question at the 

 present time. This season has been the 

 most disastrous of any in my experience. 

 Snow in May, cloudburst in June, and 

 killing frost in August! Farmers are 

 discouraged and dealers have no profit." 



Alfred J. Brown Seed Co., Grand Rap- 

 ids, w rote as follows September 4 : " The 

 frost on the night of September 1 did 

 considerable damage to cucumbers, late 

 planted potatoes and tomatoes. It also 

 did some damage to late crops of beans, 

 principally the dwarf, greon-podded vari- 

 eties. We can not tell the extent of dam- 

 age done. The frost was not general 

 throughout the state, and for this reason 

 we do not think it as bad as reported." 



Bromfield & Colvin, Bay City, wrote 

 September 4: "Relating to the frost 

 that has hit our territory, we will say
