SANTA ANA.
The Citrus Fruit Crop Generally Unhurt
by the Frost.

by the Fr0sts
SANTA ANA, Jan. Last night was
the coldest of the season. The mercury
fell to 27 degrees above zero. Consider
able interest was manifested today in
regard to the condition of the orange
crop, and early this morning HERALD
reporter sailed forth among the beauti-
full orange groves of Tustin. The first
grower consulted was Mr.. I'll. X. Snow,
who also has one of the finest lemon
groves in the county. Mr.. Snow had
just returned from an inspection OF his
orange grove, and was in excellent spir-
,<1ts. He did not hesitate to say that his
oranges were not hurt in the least, but
added that "a few of my smallest lem
ons have been nipped, but there will be
but small percentage of my lemons
! that are injured by the FROST"
I Mr.. Snow reported that his thermom-
! eter registered q degrees between 6 and
O'Clock, which was the lowest point
reached.
Capt. z. L. Adams. neighbor vi /.
Snow, said that he had examined his
grove and was sure his oranges were not
hurt by the frost. He also reported 27
degrees.
Il. G. Snow, whose orange grove ad-
Joins P. 7. Adams, says that his oranges
are all right but that some OF his green
est lemons were frozen.
v. V. Tubbs was next visited. Mr..
i, Tubbs said that he had not found any
! oranges in his greve that had been in
jured, although he had kept the water
running all night about the trees.
A. Guy Smith says that his thermom-
eter registered 26 degrees. Mr.. Smith
said that aa far as he had been able to
determine his oranges are all right. He
said that few that are very green and
badly exposed might be injured, but
that those that are ripe or nearly 80 are
untouched by the frost.
Paul Seegar reported the mercury at
27 at his place, and says some of the
tenderest lemons were frozen, and he
thought eome OF the unripe oranges
might be slightly frosted.
DIR. M. s. Jones reported the mercury
at 26 at his place. He had not examined
his oranges sufficiently to say whether
they were hurt or not.
1t ia safe to say that the orange crop
is ali right and that but email per-
centsge of the crop is damaged in the
slightest degree. The lemon crop has
Jared little worse, but none of that
fruit has been touched that is full grown
or nearly so. All the orange growers OF
the valley who were seen are in the best
of spirits and are hoping to receive re-
munerative prices for their fruit.
