Time wil] tell the extent of the damage dor.e, but blossoms of ail these were touched by frost in some areas. ,Apple orchards in general had a good showing of blossorrs this year and the weekend would have seen blossoms at their best had flot frost, cold and ramn intervened. Orchard- ists say it is a littie early to assess the damnage, but there was undoubtedly some. Wilfrid Carruthers, R. R. 1, Bo'vmanvi1le, said, "There isi littie doubt they are hurt a certain amount. We will bc able to tell better just how1 much whcn the blossoms have net. The weather since bas been very poor for pollination." Irwin Colwill at Newcastle concurred in this and said that damage seems to vary accord- ing to location and elevation, the low-lying spots showi;ng more signs of frost damage to b]ossoms, even the lower parts of some trees. "However, we could still get a good crop of Mclntosh if we get good wea- ther for pollination in the next 24 to 48 hours," Mr. Colwill stated an Wednesday. Mclntosh generally had a heavy blossom. Spys which are a later apple, were flot as far advanced irn blossom and probably were flot as much affected. It is felt that orchards fur- ther north, toward Tyrone, mnay have been considerably damaged, but Rob Roy, R. R. 4, Bowmanvi]le, said he could flot tel] yet. Blossoms have stood still for the past week. Ail growers are hoping for some warm, sunny weather to assist pollination.
