Heavy frost hits Topeka and Missouri farms in April
April 20 reports from Topeka Kansas say a heavy frost chilled the region with surface thermometers at 30 degrees. Gardens in low areas and growing crops suffered severely, while some fruit had advanced enough to escape major damage. Northwest Missouri also faced frost and crop loss, with estimates of 25 to 76 percent damage in the area. Kansas City notes a gas shortage amid a shift to oil burning in cement plants, spurring a statewide move to oil-fueled kilns within months. In Leavenworth, a former cabinet member was sentenced to ten years for murder after an attack on a farmer and attempted assault on his wife.
