THE NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 18 , 1003.
The Forecast of the Weather
Man Became a Reality.
FIRST FREEZE OF THE SEASON.
Garden Vegetation Is Retired From
Further Activity This Year Some
Corn Was Past Injury but the Late
Planting Was Caught.
I from Wednesday's Dnlly.i
The frost that was forecasted for
Monday night , nnd again for last
night , certainly succeeded In pulling
in nn appearance on Iho lalter occa
sion , and this morning leaves , planls
and walks were covered with the
white cryslals , while lite surface of
standing water was covered with a
scum of Ice perhaps an eighth of .an
Inch In thickness.
Every growing plant is certainly
retired from further actlvlly , but the
probability is lhal much of Iho corn
was far enough advanced so lhat It
will develop from what litllo life yol
remains In Iho stalks. The freeze
came four days later than last year ,
but the four days have been damp ,
chilly weather , not favorab\p \ to the
ripening process , so that vegetation
Is probably In the same condition ,
practically , that it was last year , when
many of Ihe fields of corn were soft
and imperfectly developed.
Garden growths , 'fruits , and other
farm producls , lhat were unprolccled
have , of course , been praclically
ruined. Corn was Iho one great crop ,
however , threatened by a freeze , and
wan undoubtedly considerably dam
aged , owing lo the lateness of Iho
spring , and Iho Impossibility of an
early planting because of high water
and incessant rains. The farmers ,
however , have harvested a big crop
of oats and a fair crop of wheat , while
the soft corn and the stalks make
good feed for catlle , prevonllng any
distress or hardship to the people of
the country , but knocking off some of
the profits that were in prospect.
According to the thermometer at
Dr. Sailer's government stalion Iho
minimum lemperaluro last night was
25 degrees , which Is seven degrees
below freezing , and was the same
point reached by the first freeze of
last year , so that it is safe to assume
that the conditions this year are the
same as last , witli probably a slight
advantage to the credit of last year
owing to the laleness of this spring
and the retarding of all farm work.
In this connection it will be of in
terest to readers to compare the frost
of this year with that of preceding
years. The table of frosts that fol
lows was prepared by G. A. Lovcland ,
section director at Lincoln , and cov
ers a period of nearly' fifty years.
Mr. Loveland's observation takes In
the entire state and It will bo well
to remember In considering the fig
ures that as this porlion of Ihe state
usually receives a frost before the
southern portion , it would be fair to
figure that the crops in tills section
have been usually retired before the
dates mentioned. The dates for the
first fifteen years have been taken
from the records of 13. L. Childs of
Platlsmouth , and for the balance of
the time the records of from five to
twenty-stations scattered over the
corn belt of the state , have been con
sidered. Dr. P. II. Salter , who has
kept a weather record at Norfolk dur
ing the past eight years , finds that
frost has always visited this section
before the 20lh of September , and the
frost of this year is later than the av
erage. Mr. Loveland's table of frosts
is as follows :
1857 . Oct. 15 1880. .Oct.

Frost Everywhere.
Omaha , Sept. 1C. Special to The
News : Frost visited every county
in the state last night. Reports hero
indicate that corn is only slightly dam
aged In the southern part of the
state. There were killing frosts in
the north and west. ' Frost Is pre
dicted again for tonight.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Following is the general summary
of crop conditions as stated in a bul
letin issued yesterday by G. A. Lovc
land , section director of the weather
bureau :
The past week has been cold , wet ,
and generally unfavorable for agricul
tural interests.
The moan daily temperature has
averaged 4 degrees below normal In
eastern counties and from ' 3 degrees
to 9 degrees below In western.
The rainfall has been heavy In the
eastern part of the state , generally
exceeding an Inch and In some places
exceeding two inches ; in the west
ern counties It was much lighter ,
ranging from nothing to half nn Inch.
Thrashing and haying have been
retarded by the rains and some grain
and hay have been damaged. The
wet weather this fall makes this work
now much behind the normal stage
of advancement nt thin Benson of the
year.
Corn has matured rather nlowly In
southeastern counties , but has made
moro satisfactory progress In north
ern and western counties. Some oarlj
planted corn Is now beyond Injury by
frost , but much of the crop needs two
to three weeks of good weather. The
Into planted corn Is Just In the roast-
lug-car Hinge.
Plowing and flooding have progressed -
grossed nicely , with the ground In
excellent condition In most parts of
the state.

More Money in Corn Than For
Two Years.
THERE IS INCREASED ACREAGE.
The Average Amount Will be Mar
keted nnd that Which Is Soft Will
Go For Extra Measure no Feed.
Farmern Interviewed on Conditions ,
IKniin Tliurmlnv'H Dally.1
It IH to be admitted that the early
froHt ban given IHIHIIOHII | men and
farmerH ullko a severe fright , hut
when the condition conies to be an
alyzed It IH found that the country
IH not nearly HO bud ( iff miVMH feared.
AH compared with hist year , when
there wan also an early front , It IH
very much better , and It will average
up with the general run of yearn In
thhi Hoctlon of the state. More ncreii
of corn were planted than over he-
fore and the yield IH far beyond any
provlouii HCUSOII , HO that Home of the
corn can tut spared from each Meld
and still leave a good average crop ,
One farmer tersely oxpromioH the nil-
nation wnen ho nays he III\H an much
good corn an ho ever had and the iioft
corn thrown In for feed.
It IH believed by perHomi who have
boon giving the matter a careful study
Hlnce yesterday morning that the
country will got moro dollarn out of
the corn crop thhi year than It IUIH
In the pant two. There will ho an
much marketable corn In the country
tin usual and there will bo much more
to bo sold In the shape of beef and
pork.
The valleys were worse hit than
he uplands , but even on low ground
the corn that was planted curly es
caped without Injury. A year ago the
Irst frost completely killed the stalk
int this year the nap does not HOOIII
to bo generally Injured. The nipping
if oulHldo leaves , where the Hap In
.ho stalk IH Htlll nlllve , merely tends to
linHten the ripening of the earn , nnd
t IH believed that after a day or two
thin will bo found to bo exactly the
case In the majority of fields.
The corn that IK Injured IH far
onoiigh advanced to make practically
IH good feed for Htock an though It.
mil been untouched by front. The
Top IH HO InimeiiHo In the country
.hat the quantity will make up all
OSH and the amount , of market-
iblo corn will be as great us any av
erage year.
The condition Hummari/.cd IH that
corn IH damaged no worse than last
year , hut there are more acres planted
and a greater yield , and the result IH
that there will be IIH much marketable
orn to be shipped out of the country
IH laHt year , besides a great slock
if soft corn left for feed.
A number of farmers were seen In
egard to the situation yesterday and
this morning , and while IIH a general
thing they are Inclined to look at the
natter through blue glaHsen , yet the
ntervlowH bear out the statement
that the country Is not half bad olT.
Col. Cotton , after driving out to the
Storm Mathewson farm north of town ,
umotmcod that his fields had suf-
'ered very llttlo Injury. Tills land IH
ocateil on low ground next to the
Ivor.
Burr Taft , living south of town next
he Klkhorn , says he has eighty acres
n corn. Twenty iicreH was planted
ate and IH frosted. Of the other six
ty acres fully seventy-live pop cent
s now good hard com.
G. A. Lulkart drove out west of
town last evening. The first field he
examined was that of Mr. Knmo. Here
10 found fifty per cent out of the way
) f frost the other half will shrivel
some hut will make good feed. In
the Obod Knasch field ho found an
iccaslomil ear soft , but not moro than
en per cent Is Injured and that will
nako good feed. In the field of Mr.
Raaseh , sr. , the corn IH an good as
my average year.
Jorges Mittolstndt , living west of
Indar , thinks the corn in that section
s very little hurt.
Win. StrniiHky , living on the Bruce
ilnco northeast of the city , says his
crop IH not Injured.
A. B. ChlldH , living six miles north-
Kisl , Hays his corn was planted early
ind is all right.
C. J. Fiihrman , living in the same
leighborhood , says ho has a heavy
crop. The first planting is In good
shape , but there Is some soft corn in
the second planting. Ho says ho has
is much good corn as ho expects to
raise and the soft corn extra.
Anton Huebnor. living northwest ,
says bis field Is badly hurt , probably
one-half of It froslcd.
Herman Marten says his field Is
spotted , some of It good and some
jad , and lie estimates that one-half
s touched.
Agriculturalist C. 13. Burnham of
Tllden says the corn crop Is pretty
well paralyzed up his way. This ag
rlculturallsl did not have a full night's
sleep last night , having come In on
the early train , and ho was a little
lyspcptlc as well as pessimistic.
W. II. Bridge Is of the opinion that
.he frosting of the outer husks will
Hasten the ripening process and get
11 out of the way of moro severe frost.
D. Roes has been In several corn
fields since yoslerday morning and
examined them carefully. Ho believes
corn is not damaged materially , that
the main stalk is practically unin
jured and that even the soft corn will
mature. Seventy to sovonty-ftvo per
cent of the corn Is uninjured today.
Al. Low says the frost was a blesfc-
[ ng , that It will innko the coru ripen
up.
up.G.
G. B. Sailer reporls that 75 per
cent of the corn IH tnnturuil. The Ixyl-
anne In Injured according l Iho thnu
of planting from K ) to r.O per cont.
There wan no front hint night , an
predicted by Iho
weather man yes-
terday. Today In unite n coiiHldorahlo
warmer and It | H doubtful f bio pre
diction of front tonight will como
true.
