Jersey Cold Week A week of cold weather began with the night of April 30, when minimum temperatures ran be- tween 26° and 33°. The next night it was 35°; May 3, 15-21°; the 4th, 14-21°; the 5th, 23-24°; the 6th, 20-27°. Several growers had drawn their bogs during the first half of April but all, it is believed, were able to reflow. here was undoubtedly some less of buds along the shallow edge^ of bogs and places where vines were not fully submerged. In the coldest blueberry fields and pai'ticularly where there was not good air movement, there was frost injury. In a number of fields, berry blight is being m'istaken for frost injury. The damage done would have been much greater if the cold wave had begun with the night (emper;atures of May 3 and 4 (actually the mornings of May 4 and 5). Following the hot day of April 28, these two nights gave valuable service in hardening the buds and blueberry blooms.
