Fruit Crop Not Hurt Yet, Bittle Says
Worried about peach crop, director Cedil Bitte of the University of Ayksnsap Experiment Station says a two night ago the mercury fell to 25 degrees, taking about 16 percent of the station's peach buds. He notes future counts show 35 percent, 45 percent may survive and only 12 to 18 percent of buds become fruit. Freeze sparing could allow the crop to be fine.
