The final session yesterday morning of
the annual meeting of the Omaha
presbytery waa opened Wednesday with
a devotional service led by Rev. &
Aston. Rev. R. M. L. Brandon waa
re-elected pastor-at-large for the Omaha
presbytery. Reports received from the
aeveral departments of church work
ahow a most encouraging outlook and a
very flourishing financial condition. Mrs.

Woman'a Foreign Missionary society, which
showed an increase in contributions and a

Rev. Dr. T. K. Hunter presented his resig

HARM OF FR0STAT MINIMUM
Mlsehlef In West and Southwest Will
Not Affect Prices Greatly
eve Expected.
Contrary to the general Impression, the
harm of recent heavy frosts throughout
the west and southwest will be at a mini
mum as far as the Omaha produce mar
kets are concerned, although the consumer
will notice a slight advance In price on
early fruits.
The strawberry crop In Arkansas, Texas
and the south has not been Injured and the
same condition prevails In regard to the
berry crop In western Iowa and Nebraska,
where the crop was not far enough ad
vanced to be materially Injured.
The froat has set back the southern crop,
which will redound to the benefit of local
merchants by delaying the pick and pre
vent congestion In large shipments. One
car of southern berries arrived Tuesday
and another Wednesday, whereas If the
growing crop had not been retarded slightly
by frosts shipments would have been ao
heavy as to caupe trouble In their rapid
disposition.
Slight damage to the berry crop la re
ported In northern Missouri, but the only
small fruit damaged In thla section of the
country Is apricots, which probably will
be a total loss. Raspberries, blackberries,
cherries, apples and plums have not been
seriously hurt by frost and the effect of
"ht froet on Plum treM wlu hav" ben-
eflclal effect by reducing the heavy growth
and Increasing the sixe of the fruit. Some
early peaches have been killed by frosts,
but a good crop of later varieties la ex
pected. Indications point to a bumper crop of
Concord grapes, .which have not suffered
in the least by adverse weather condi
tions. EVERITT FORJJOLLAR WHEAT
