Apple Crop May Be OK Despite Cold Wave, March 22, 1923

Watauga Hit by Cold Wave

Getting a little closer to home, For the past several days the weather has been unusually cold for this season for the year, mercury hovering uncomfortably close to the zero point. However, owing to the fact that the fruit trees were not quite so far advanced as is sometimes the case, little fear is entertained over the apple crop, although it is probable peaches and smaller fruits may be killed.
