JACK FROST FOILED AGAIN
Theodore Williams Declares Fruit
Has. Not Been Damaged.
FROZEN PLANTS STILL ALIVE
While Cold Has Not Injured Crops
Materially, Bad Winds and Rain
Prevents Proper Fertilisa
tion of Fralt Blossoms.
BENSON, June S.-Monday, May 27, the
most of the Omaha dallies came out with
a disaster cry about the damage of Sunday
nlghfs frost. One paper claimed, over
$200,008 damage had been done In Douglas
county, stating the greatest amount of
damage- was done to the farms south of
Council Bluffs, East Omaha, near Benson
and all along the Platte river.
Now, as to the loss In Benson, our place,
owing to surrounding hills and other un
favorable environments. Is more subject, to
frost Injury than many others, and yet
not a fruit was Injured by the last breath
of expiring old "Jack."
He cast his white mantle over everything,
even to the tops of the highest roofs. Yet
he had but two degrees to live on, down to
SO at 2 and 8 a, m., going up to 35 at
6 a. m. Now, with only two degrees of
frost In the open, there would be no danger
to fruit, for within the confines of the trees
the life and Influence of the tree holds the
temperature above 35 degrees - Farenhett.
At ho place do the reports claim lower
than 30. For all places where that report
on temperature Is correct we claim there
could have been but little damage, and the
whole report a gross exaggeration.
Frosted But Not Killed.
Oh t piece of low ground where lumps
of Inert earth frose solid we had put out
about 150 tomato plants. These were Ill
bred, untrained plants, grown under glass
by & florist. They were uneducated to 'deal
with nature pranks in the open; they frose.
turning black to the ground. Only the
feather part of the leaves were killed; the
blackened stems have returned to normal
green and are now covered with new
shoots; not a dead one they are O. K. for
a crop.
A man' from Irvlngton looked at my
frosen plants, said all potatoes, tomatoes
and fruit wers lost on the low lands, and
mine were worse frosen than theirs.
Today, June i, we have been on the low
lands at Irvlngton. Not a particle of dam
age from frost could we find. One thing
the public must remember is that the
weatherv man's reports are only correct for
his home city. Cities as large as St. Louis,
Kantvs City and ! Omaha In the cold
weather raise the temperature several de
grees from the warmth of city tnfluence;,'on
cold, still winter nights when It Is below
ero there will be eight or nine degrees
lower temperature at my farm than In the
warmth of Omaha.
The fruit crop has not been Injured by
late frosts, but owing to bad winds and
rains plums, etc., could not pollinate well.
The prospect for a crop of apples, ,late cher
ries, peaches and berries, and even late
plums, is still good.

SHOWED TUB MINISTER
And Got Him la Line.
"In a minister's family In Los Angeles
where I was visiting soma time ago, the
wife complained of serious indigestion and
dyspepsia. She admitted that she used
coffee and sali she more thsn half believed
that was the trouble. I told her that I
knew it was, for I had gone through with
the experience myself and had only been
cured when I left off coffee and took up
Poctum Food Coffee.
"She said she had tried the Poatum. both
for herself and her husband, but they did
not like It. With her permission. I made
Post u in next morning myself, and boiled
It full fifteen minutes after the real boiling
of the pot began. Then when It was served,
It was a rich, deep brown color and had
the true flavor and food vajue that every
Fostum maker knows. It Is all folly to
talk about trying to make Postum with one
or two minutes' steeping.
"You can't get something good for noth
ing. Postum must be well boiled, and to
keep It from boiling over, use small lump
f butter., perhaps twice the alse of a pea.
Thai murtiliig the minister and his wife
liked Postum so well that their whole lives
were changed on the question of diet and
they abandoned coffee at once and for all.
"Now after a hard1 day's work, they are
comforted, refreshed, and rested by a cup
of well-mads Postum for supper. They are
both enthusiastic In Its praise. The wife
bus entirely recovered from her dyspepsia
I will not go into ths details of my own
case, except to aay that I was a desperate
sufferer with dyspepsia and discovered by
leaving off coffee that coffee was the cause
of It. I quickly got well when I took up
Postum Food Coffee. I earnestly hope
many more coffee drinkers may get their
syos open." Road. "The Road to WaUvlUs,''
