Show Sub-Zero Weather Hits Much Earlier The coldest weather of the sea- j son and the coldest mirk foi early November in many years hit Milford last Sunday morning when a minimum of two degrees below zero was registered at: the airport weather station. It was cold all day Sunday and that night registered only one degree warm er as a minimum, while unofficial thermometers down town are said to have registered four and five degees colder than these figures. Since Sunday it has moderated a good deal and the snow which fell Thursday night of last week is about all gone. Milford valley's experiment with sugar beets this year seems to have met with about all the bad breaks possible but, despite this, the farmers feel quite encouraged with the yield and sugar content though the price is down from what they had expected. The late snow last spring forced ,some of the farmers to replant .their beet acreage, others getting get-ting thin crops; and the early coming com-ing of extreme colli weather caught some of them with beet-digging not started or barely underway. |
