Heavy Frosts
Cause Damage
To Some Crops
"The heavy frosts last week eaus-
ed considerable damage to fields of
corn, and -caused severe damage to
several fields of beans that were
sown quite late and were not far
enough advanced in maturity to
stand such lane temperatures, LeRoy
G. Brown, agricultural representative
for Huron County, stated today.
The bean crap in general, however,
did not suffer from the frost and
most fields are either pulled or in
the barn. The recent heavy rains
have caused considerable: difficulty
in certain areas where farmers are
trying to cut :and harvest fields of
corn on low-lying land. In many cases,
it will take several dry days before
binders and tractors can operate in
some of those Beide.
