Farmers Hurts As Mercury Drop Damages Crops Temperature at Deseret went to 27 May 27, a drop of 12 degrees from the day before. At Delta airport air-port the thermometer said 32. And after an upward trend, the temperature sagged again Wednes day morning, June 2, to 31 at Deseret, Des-eret, and 33 at Delta. It is diffcult to estimate at this time the extent of damage done to growing crops by the freeze last Thursday for reports vary for various areas and the cold wave was spotty. However, considerable damage was done to alfalfa first crop in the bloom for seed. Some farmers farm-ers are cutting for hay and starting start-ing all over again. Many had spray ed for seed, and now have lost that time and money. Some fields of alfalfa were laid low and others report that their stands have come out of it showing show-ing little or no damage. Fields recently re-cently watered came through better bet-ter than dry fields. Grain was also hurt, some places more than others, that will shrivel the yield. Gardens are in the same stale with some ruined and others show ing no bad effect.
