Don’t let milk production costs 
consume your profits. Don’t feed 
corn or tats as a whole ration to

We had a heavy frost Sept. 10 In 
some pljices near ns the ground was 
frozen. The mercury went down to about 
20 degrees here. The night before we had 
rain and it cleared up in the morning, 
the wind whipped into the west and I 
was fearful of a frost all day. There 
was much immature buckwheat, and this 
was entirely destroyed. About one-fourth 
of the acreage 'W’ill yield a half crop. 
T.ate potatoes were cut down, garden 
truck, such as cucumbers and tomatoes, 
badly hurt. In some places tomatoes 
were trimmed ju.'it enough to ripen nicely 
if it does not fri'cze again soon. It looks 
like better weather now. Potatoes are 
jiretfy badly hit. The crop is very light, 
and unless the authorities make tlie price 
we believe ixitatoes will rule very high. 
Liite beans are destroyed. A good many 
beans fail to pod this year, but run to 
vines. I planted some Burpee Push 
I.iniii and not a jiod on them, keej) blos¬ 
soming, hut do not produce jiods. We 
had five acres of potatoes, five acres of 
liciivy corn and 34 acres of buckwheat, 
all badly hit by the frost. We believe 
that the lo.ss to this town (Piehland) 
will he fully $50,000 by this frost. 2'h(‘
