Slightly Damaged.
Dyersburg Progress.
The tobacco plants were not injured b,
the frost last week. They are looking fine
and there is plenty Of them.
Kingston East Tennesseean.
Information from all parts Of Roane
county leads to the belieT that the fruil
crop, in consequence Of the late cold spell.
will be entirely destroyed.
Murfreesboro News.
From the best information we can get, it
is evident that all the fruit in this section
was killed by the late cold snap. Il is said
wheat in Rutherford county was not ma
terially injured.
JOnesbOrO journal.
The fruit blooms were all DESTROYED, veg
etables were cut down, and TIE wheat that
was in joint badly damaged; oats and clO-
yer were also seriously injured.
Henderson Advocate.
In this immediate section we have to
state, from the best information we can Get,
that the wheat crop is not very seriously
hurt. Early vegetables and fruits have
suffered seriously.
Shelbyville Commercial.
As far as we have been ableto learn. the
late frost and freeze have not Injured the
wheat crop. The fruit, however, has been
seriously damaged. As to the amount Of
damage done, there are conflicting opin-
ions. Some think it is all killed, while
Others aver there will be a pretty fair crop.
Knoxville Chronicle.
We heard some farmers give their opin-
ion yesterday in regard 10 the apple crop,
and they thought the apples were not all
killed. From q private letter from Jacks
boro, we learn that the cold spell has de-
strOyed the fruit crop Of Campbell county,
and that the grapes Of the Dew Vineyard
have been destroyed.
Gallatin Examiner.
After careful inquiry from various Dor
tiOns Of the county, We trust that the dam
age to the growing wheat has been slight.
The damage is principally confined TO
fields that were we'll jOinted. The late
frost seems to show that the Mediterranean
wheat stands cold the best, the BOwden
next, and the red the worst.
Knoxville Press and Herald.
The general conclusion is that most Of
the cherries and peaches have been killed,
and some, but no great injury done TO
wheat. We, believe that the cool, damp
weather following the freeze has been Of ser
vice in saving the fruit. The late apples
are not injmed to any serious extent.
Cleveland Banner.
The freezes Of last Friday and Saturday
nights completely closed out the peach
crop prospect in this section. As far as we
can learn but few have escaped. The clo-
yer crop was injured, and it is feared that
the early wheat has been damaged; the
apple and other fruit crops, if not entirely
destroyed, have been more or less injured.
About the only chance left for fruit is the
blackberry crop.
Jasper Herald.
We have cOLversed with several who
have examined she peach buds, and we
find there is a difference Of opinion in re-
gard to them, some think they are all
killed, while others are Of the opinion that
there is only a portion Of them killed.
There is possibility that they are not all
killed as it was very dry during the cold
snap.
sheIbyviIe Gazette.
All kinds Of fruits that happened TO be
in bloom, such as peaches, apples. pears,
etc, ard the garden vzgsta-
bles that had the misfortune 10 be out,
were frozen very dead; and wheat that was
in the joint, or shoot, shared a like fate.
It is cOnsoling, however, 20 know that an
the wheat was not in joint, and that which
was not so far advanced, was not seriously
damaged.
Lynchburg Sentinel.
We have made diligent inquiries, and are /
happy to state that The damage done to
the wheat is far less than was az first eX-
Dected, only a few Of the most forward
fields having been seriously injured, and
upon the whole the damage IS not more
than ten per cent, if that. The peach crop
IS killed. The apple crop, which would |
have been almost a failure had it escaped
.his spell, as many trees failed TO bloom at |
all, is also killed. Cherries, plums, etc,
don't seem TO have been damaged.
Greeneviuc American.
