Lewistown AP reports thousands of acres in Montana damaged by a mid June frost. State director Jack E. Reeves says damages could exceed 1949 and 1963 drought losses with Fergus and Judith Basin counties possibly paying out about 3 million dollars. Crop losses stem from frost during bloom plus prior drought and mosaic virus. A MSU pathologist notes frost halted fertilization and pollination, leaving empty or dead heads.
