WEATHER CHOP BULLETIN.
Of th, XndUna W.ath.r S.rvle. la co-op.r*tloa with
th. tTait.d States Slgaal S.rvle. for th. wok .adlag
Satarday, May >, 13»t.
Rain in very small measurements fell
only In few localities, none at most; the
cool period which occurs each year during
the earlier portions of the month of May,
prevailed from the 5th to the 7th; because
ofthe dryness of the atmosphere only
slight hoar-frosts formed on the 5th and
6th but on the 7th, moisture having increased, hoar-frost formed under a higher
temperature than the proceeding days, injuring to some extent, strawberries, grapes,
cherries, plums, early potatoes, clover and
and garden truck; apples, pears and wheat
are apparently saved from injury and continue to be flourishing and of excellent
promise; rain is much needed everywhere,
the ground is too dry and clodded to be
plowed, and corn planting is not finished
yet by far.
SOUTHERN TORTION.
Sunman, Ripley Co.—Wheat is looking
well all over the connty; oats is very short
on account of cold weather and absence of
rain; frost has done no very great damage
as yet.   Ko rain.
Vevay, Switzerland Co.—An unseasonable low temperature prevailed with frosts
on the 5tb, 6th and 7th, providentially a
fresh breeze continued during the night
which checked the threatening injury
from frost; on the hill tops and three
miles north of the river, considerable damage to fruit is reported and in many localities ice formed one-sixteenth or an inch
thick; a week later will give a moredefinite
account of the damage sustained, tho frost
occurred In spots only and was not general.
Rainfall, 0.-,2.
Columbus, Bartholomew Co.—Cool, dry
and clear weather prevailed; on the (ilh
and 7th there were quite heavy frosts with
a little ice which damaged gardens and
fruit to some extent; some wheat on low
lands show also slight damage; corn planting is progressing slowly only owing to
the unusual dry and cloddy condition of
the soil, not half the corn is planted yet
and rain Is much needed.   KilnUll, 0.11.
De.onia Springs, Warrick Co.—Frost
and ice formed on tbe (Hh, light frost tho
7th, not much damage is done probably,
beans and tomatoes wero killed, grapes
partly so only those on top wero hurt but
the lower ones not, damago to fruit, if any
will be known later; the weather has been
more favorable to the growth of wheat than
oats, potatoes and garden need rain and
the ground is getting hard to break; much
corn is being planted.   Rainfall, 0.55.
Mount Vernon, I-osey Co.—Frosts on
the 6th and 7th, no damage done to
peaches, plums, blackberries, quinces or
wheat; the progress for all kinds of fruit is
flrst rate; grapes, roses and locust trees are
in full bloom; two-thirds of the corn land
is planted and the young corn is growing
nicely.   lUinfall, 0 71.
Butlerville, Jenningi Co.—The outlook
for a good yield of wheat was never better;
grass is looking fine; oats is not very
promising because of too dry weather;
frosts occurred on the 6th .and 7th which
blackened the young leaves of walnut,
hickory and sycamore, it damaged garden
vegetables, watermelons and potatoes;
Injury to fruit can not yet be estimated,
but May cherries are killed and grapes
just coming into bloom were hurt and
strawberries badly injured.  Rainfall, 0.21.
Marengo, Crawford Co.—Frosts occurred
and some ice on tho 6th and 7th; so far it
seems that the injury is not very serious;
wheat is not injured; fruit to some extent, and the prospect now is not so good
as a few weeks ago; grapes are killed in
some localities, in others only partially;
so are also apples, pears and peaches; potatoes and corn that is up were bitten by
the frost.   Rainfall, 1.00.
Worthington, Greene Co.—Frosts occurred on the 6th and 7th; garden vegetables, grapes, strawberries have been much
injured, the young grape shoots are withered and dry as if scorched by fire; cherries, plums and peaches suflered more
than apples and more damage was done in
low than on high lands; wheat is not injured; it was too cold for corn planting.
Rainfall, 0.17.
Troy, Perry ;Co.—The weather was too
cold for growing crops except wheat; the
frosts of the 6th and 7th did much damage
to gardens; grapes are injured much and
damage to other fruit can only be ascertained later.
Princeton, Gibson Co.—Frost on the 6th
and 7th ice forming onequarter of an Inch
thick, injured young grapes in bloom,
and watermelons, peaches are not much
damaged; wheat looks fine; pasturage is
good and much corn has been planted.
Rainfall, 1.20.
CENTRAL I-RTION.
Rockville, Parke Co.—Three frosts occurred, that of the 7th damaged fruit;
probable loss will be at least 60 per cent on
apples, plums, grapes, cherries and pears;
strawberries and others and clover were
badly damaged; wheat is not injured and
the prospect for an enormous yield continues very flattering.   Rainfall, 0.11.
Farmland, Randolph Co.—Xo rain; several frosts, that of the 7th was the heaviest
as more moisture was present; strawberries
and grapes were badly injured; cherries
were more damaged tban apples, but even
If only half remains there will be still a
good crop; wheat is not injured; rain is
needed, the ground  Is so dry that farmers
cannot prepare the soil for oorn.
. Franklin, Johnson Co.—On the 7th
heavy frost and ice as thick as window
glaw, tender leaves were froz.i, fruit Injured some, grapes appear to be all right;
wheat, clovor and grass are growing fast;
live stock is doing well; the ground is too
hard to pulverize and oorn not more than
half planted.   Rainfall, 0.10.
Sheibyville, Shelby Co.—Frost occurred
on tbo 5th,<ithand7th, no damage reported
to wheat, on low lands tho fruit is injured,
on rolling highlands itis all right; the
ground for corn is nearly broken but a
largo portion Is so dry and hard that it
cannot bo pulverized and made ready for
plowing until we shall havo rain.. No
rain.
Mauzy, Rush Co.—Frost on the 6th and
7th but no serious damago was caused except to strawberries, the oarly ones are entirely dostroyed.   Rainfall, 0.11.
Indianapolis, Marion Co.—Frost on the
7th caused but slight injury in general;
strawberries and grapos wero hurt In
localities.   Rainfall, 0.06.
NORTHERN  PORTION.
Marion, (irantCo.—Sevoral frosts caused
no damago as It was too dry.
_al'orte, LaPorte Co.—Very severe frosts
on the 5th and 7th have done much Injury
to fruit; tho shoots on grape vines aro
killed and It seems tho grape crop will be
nothing; the extent of tho Injury to cherries, pears, apples, peaches and small fruit
can not be determined yet; wheat shows
no injury; a temperaturo of 2S was noted
ice formed seven sixteenths of an Inch
and some flakes of snow fell on the 5th,
the cold retarded all vegetable and plant
growth.
Delphi, Carroll Co.—Frost formed on
the 1th, 5t_, 6th and 7th with a minimum
temperatureof.'!6,28,30and 26 respectively:
from Information obtained from most
reliable sources, it seems tbat wheat was
not injured; apples are not injured while
peaches are about 25 per cent; grapes are
badly injured and the first growth entirely destroyed; strawberries are injured
some and in exposed places badly; early
cherries are damaged to somo extent.
Rainfall, 0.01.
Point Isabel, Grant Co.—Frost formed
on tbe 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th; ice on the last
two mornings one-half inch thick, fruit
suffered much, grapes seem to be killed;
cherries about half; all garden vegetables
are more or less hurt; the weather has
been quite favorable to wheat and the
prospect for a good crop continues; oorn is
nearly all planted; some has come up but
was bitten to the ground by frost; the absence of rain and cool temperature checked
the growth of pasturage.   Xo rain.
Logansport, Cass Co.—The low temperature, ice one-half inch thick and frost on
the 4tb, 5th, 6th and 7th have retarded
planting; wheat In low places is reported
damaged, how much cannot be determined, on high ground it was not hurt;
grapes and small fruits badly damaged, in
places all killed; apples were less aflected.
Rainfall, 0.13.
Angola, Steuben Co.—On the 4th snow
and hail fell; frost form on three mornings; on the 5th the lowest temperature
was 31° and it froze quito hard; tho wind
was quite strong, and this prevented injury by frost; fruit seems to be uninjured.
Rainfall, 030.
Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co.—The frosts
on the 5th and 7th severely Injured grape
vines, peaches, early strawberries and
potatoes; very little corn was up to be injured; cherries, apples and plums seem to
have escaped injury on high ground and
other crops were not injured so far as we
can learn.
