376 REPoRT OF THE FarM SUPERINTENDENT OF THE 
FRostTs. 
The latest frosts in spring and earliestin fall were on May 21st and 
September 6th, thus making the season between frosts on the Station 
farm 108 days. The frosts which occurred on the mornings of 
September 6th and 7th did little or no damage on the farm, as corn, 
sorghum and other crops were yet standing and escaped unharmed. 
These crops were too immature for harvest at that time, about the 
usual harvest season, owing undoubtedly to the general backward- 
ness of the season, as well as to the dull and cloudy weather of the 
later part of the summer, and they were left standing for some 
time at the risk of being frost-bitten, in the hope that there might 
be a few sunny days which would go far toward maturing 
the crop.
