Frost Damage in Illinois 
We had beautiful May weather during 
nearly all the month of March. The tem¬ 
perature was frequently up to 70, and 
seldom down to the frost point. Hut old 
Horens decided he would illustrate the old 
saw about the coming in and the going 
out of March. The first day of March 
was a typical day of May. The last day 
was a pretty fair average Deeember day. 
We, years ago, had a quaint old Bohemian 
shoemaker who was a character in a way. 
I went into his shop on the first day of 
March, which was about like the last 
March. I said as 1 went in : “John, 
this is a beautiful first day of March.” 
“Yes,” he replied, “March he come in like 
a sheep, hut he go out like a Tophet!” 
That was certainly characteristic like the 
March just now ended. The temperature 
was, as indicated, more like a balmy May 
than March. The result was peach trees 
were in bloom at least three weeks earlier 
than usual. But just when every peach 
tree was a beautiful bouquet of pinkish 
bloom, the 27th, which was Easter Sun¬ 
day, the temperature went down to 10, 
and the next, night to 22. Tt. so happens 
that there is a United States substation 
of the Weather Bureau at the home of 
my nearest neighbor, some HO feet away, 
and these temperatures are those of the 
Weather Bureau. What has it done to 
our fruit? I wrote you once about the 
mammoth apple orchard that, is but six 
miles from our little city. About an hour 
ago I had a conversation with the mana¬ 
ger of that orchard, and he assured me 
that at least 50 per cent of the’apple buds 
are killed beyond doubt. My own exper¬ 
ience, based upon an examination of our 
own little home orchard,, is that it will 
run higher than 50 per cent. 
The destruction of the peach crop, as 
well as the pear crop, is a clean sweep, as 
both were in full bloom. The same ap¬ 
plies to the plum. Some think the cherry 
crop is a total failure also, but judging 
from the condition of our few Montmor¬ 
ency trees I do not believe the cherries 
are nearly as bad as the reports concern¬ 
ing other varieties of fruits. Hut it is 
certain, that the crop of all tree fruits in 
this Middle West country is going to be 
negligible in quantity. The strawberries, 
of course, do not seem to lie affected, 
especially if they were covered with 
straw. I have a few plants of that much- 
heralded raspberry miscalled the ever- 
bearer, St. Regis. It was quite well 
leafed out when the freeze struck us. and 
every leaf and green thing on the plants 
look as if they had been boiled. 1 had 
planted my potatoes before the freeze 
came, but as they were covered with 
wheat straw they are safe enough.

Meeting of State Vegetable Growers 
The Now York State Vegetable Grow¬ 
ers’ Association held its eleventh annual 
meeting at Syracuse on March 20. Prof. 
II. E. Babcock pointed out the possibil¬ 
ities and the dangers of eo-operation, and 
was followed by reports of actual achieve¬ 
ments in the State by C. E. Mason of the 
Williamson Vegetable Growers’ Associa¬ 
tion and by T. it. Clausen, formerly of the 
Schenectady Vegetable Growers’ Asso¬ 
ciation. IT. T>. Phillips of the Bureau of 
Markets and Storage at Albany told of 
plans which are under way for furnishing 
market reports to the growers of the State 
by means of a leased wire service. This 
would make the information available 
within a few hours of actual sales, and 
so would be of greater service to shippers. 
The United States Bureau of Markets is 
co-operating with the Bureau of Markets 
and Storage in this plan. Oscar Day of 
Fulton outlined a number of muck land 
problems, emphasizing the necessity for 
substituting an intelligent, system of dis¬ 
tribution of perishable products instead of 
the haphazard method now in vogue. 
The association took action supporting 
the Prunell bill, which provides for addi¬ 
tional Federal funds for research, sup¬ 
porting the plan for market news service 
mentioned above, and commending the 
New York State Canning Crops Co-oper¬ 
ative Association for the firm stand they 
have taken in their efforts to place the 
business dealings between grower and 
caiiner on a basis fair to all parties. Pro¬ 
vision was made for a committee to look 
into the matter of better facilities for 
vegetable, exhibition at the New York 
State Fair, and providing for representa¬ 
tion at the forthcoming conference be¬ 
tween the American Farm Bureau Fed¬ 
eration and representatives of the vege¬ 
table growers of tin* country. The follow¬ 
ing officers were elected: President, Clyde 
F. Mason, Williamson: vice-president, 
•Tos. Bogner, New Hartford; secretary- 
treasurer, C. E. Haw. East Syracuse. Ex¬ 
ecutive committee: W. F. Ilallauer, Tron- 
dequoit; T. II. Holmes, Albany; A. V. V. 
Freligh, Schenectady; Oscar Day, Ful¬ 
ton ; Ilenry Greffrath, South Lima. 
HAUL WORK. 
We have had exceptionally hot weather, 
including a number of thunder showers, 
and one of hail. On Easter Day the ther¬ 
mometer went to SO degrees in the shade. 
Sheep that were not sheared felt, the heat 
as much as in midsummer. Wheat and 
grass have commenced to grow; the for¬ 
mer looks unusually good. We had quite 
a severe freeze since, and many have 
been uneasy about the fruit buds, but 
authorities say they are unharmed, and 
also claim that there is a good set of buds 
for the coming year. Most of the or¬ 
chards have been well trimmed, and will 
be well sprayed. ‘fl M, ‘fl

What One Gallon of Kerosene 
in a “2” Engine Will Do for You 
Have your local "2" 
dealer tell you about 
these many big 
advantages: 
l“EconomIcally uses lcero* 
sene as well as gasoline. 
2— High tension magneto 
eliminates batteries and 
battery troubles — gives 
hot spark, quick starting. 
3— Throttling governor as¬ 
sures steady speed and 
close speed regulation. 
4— Suction fuel feed — no 
pump — simple and posi¬ 
tive. 
Do you realize how much 
work the “Z” engine will 
do at the low cost of 
one gallon of kerosene? 
It will pump 10,000 gallons of 
water for your stock, for your 
home, for fire protection. 
It will light 10 20-watt, 16- 
candle power lamps for 15 hours 
from your light plant. 
It will grind 40 bushels of feed 
to fatten your stock. 
It will saw over 5 cords of wood 
for you. 
It will run your chum—cream 
separator—milking machine. 
It will operate your family 
washing machine—your grind¬ 
stone, com sheller, clover huller, 
shredder, hay baler and other 
machines about the farm. 
Over 300,000 “Z” engines have 
been bought by farmers every¬ 
where. They saved labor— 
got more work done. Over 6,000 
dealers demonstrated the many 
big advantages of the “Z” to 
these farmers before they 
bought. 
Notethese features at the left and 
then you, too, go to your near¬ 
est “Z” dealer and see the “Z.”
