The Dixie Miller Is not 4 believer in great damage
TO the wheat crop OF the South. except in Texas. IL
says: Since the February blizzard q great deal OF
boSh has been printed about the immense damage
done to the wheat crop In the Southern states. Some
reports In the daily papers went no far as to say that
the injury would amount to 70 per cent. The Dixie
Mi,iers special correspondents tell 4 very different
tale. and they are all men who make a close study
of local crop conditions In their business. Taking
the South HI q whole. we do not believe the growing
wheat has been damaged 10 per Gent by cold weather,
unless the injury WAS done after March 1, which rs
scarcely probable. although there was a cold snap
on the eth. In nearly every Southern state the
growing plants were covered by a warm blanket az
snow before the zero weather came. and the coolest
weather the South has ever known passed without
doing any considerable damage. Most Of the injury
that has resulted from cold weather was inflicted by
the freeze which followed 4 heavy rain and sl-et
the week before the blizzard. The thaw uprootel
the very tender plants. In Texas the damage will he
great because there was no protection by snow and
the crop was late and sickly. owing 20 q continued
lack Of moisture. The loss in some parts Of this
state may reach 70 per cent?
