Old York Trees Suffer Frost Damage Across Panhandle
Fruit growers across West Virginia and Virginia report heavy frost damage to orchards. Estimates from Shenandoah and Berkeley counties indicate 60 to 75 percent of York apples may be lost or damaged. Nearby regions like Roanoke Valley also face losses with blooms frozen and buds browned, threatening substantial crop reductions.
British Held Responsible By The Irish
The American Commission on Conditions in Ireland says British government bears moral responsibility for current Irish disorders. The 30,000 word report, based on hearings in Washington last November to January, asserts imperial army excesses in Ireland and notes the commission was ex parte. It relies mainly on Sinn Fein sources and Irish testimony, omitting Ulster Unionist and British official views.
