developed q temperature low
enough 10 cause fears as to the
probable result on the crops. The
temperature in this immediate Vi
cinity dropped 10 18 degrees in
the open country, and tho ground
was frozen 10 depth Of about an
inch. Of course ell surface ve-
getation was killed, but there had
been no excessive moisture, and
the cold spell was but short-lived.
there was reason to hope that no
serious damage was done.
As far as the early vegetable
crops are concerned, it is more
than likely that they have suffer-
ed considerable damage. In some
cases of course fresh paintings
will repair the injury, but not to
the extent of furnishing an early
crop. The setback in point of
maturity is irreparable. It is pro-
bable that the fruit crops we're
not damaged, as the trees had not
yet commenced to bud. The da-
mage to early vegetables repre-
sents considerable loss, however,
and is not to be passed over too
lightly.
When the damage done the su-
gar crop hy the freeze of last Feb
ruary is remembered. damage 30
great as to amount practically to
disaster, there was naturally much
anxiety felt as to the results to
sugar cane of the recent freeze.
All accounts received from the
country since the cold spell have
been resssuring, and If damage has
been done it has not yet develo-
ped, and certainly the prevailing
belief is that no damage has been
done. Commenting on this sub
ject the Louisiana Planter and Su-
gar Manufacturer says, in it's last
issue:
"Since our last issue the coldest
weather of the winter has been ex-
perienced throughout the sugar
belt, the thermometer dropping to
18 degrees in the upper portions
and the ground being frozen an
inch below the surface in certain
localities. It does not appear,
however, that any damage has
been done to the cane beyond the
resulting delay in termination.
ut would seem, therefore, that
the bright prospects for the crop
remain unchanged. except that it
will not make quite so early .
start as it would if We had had no
freezing weather to cut down the
growth already attained above tho
surface of the ground. The past
few days have been 90 dry and
sunny that the soil has rapidly
got into good condition for plan
ting and plowing, and those who
had not finished planting are now
busily engaged in rounding Of
this work"
This from an authority like the
Louisiana Planter is reassuring,
and it is certainly to be hoped that
it's optimism in this case is we'll
founded. The sugar growers, in
their desire to recoup last seasons
losses have saved a very large
quantity of seed, and when plant
ing operations are completed the
acreage devoted to cane will be
larger that ever before. Any da-
mage to the crop this year would
be extremely discsurogiog to the
sugar industry. as a good crop is
badly needed to enable cane-grow-
ers to recover from the setback Of

SANTA FEC RESERVOIR.
Temporary Injunction Against Fur.
Their Work on II.

ther w Orls on ~.
Temple, Texas, January 25,--District
Judge Furman has granted temporary
injunction restraining the Santa Fe rail-
way company from proceeding with their
work upon the reservoir just west OF the
city. This reservoir the Santa Fe people
have just begun work on; it is SO situated
as to cover eighty or one hundred acres
of ground on Birds creek, they having
purchased the land for the purpose. The
intertion of the road is to make an
everlasting water supply at this pont
without having to be dependent at all upon
the water company. Work had been be-
gun and while nothing definite was known
as to the roads Intentions it was N
orally supposed that the reservoir was
to be cemented over large portion of the
bottom and dam and that an expenditure
of something like $50 900 was to be put on
It, The injunction just graniel was
prayed for by Messrs. Dennis Lynch and
j. A. Mcfarland, who own property j,is
below the cite OF the reservoir. They
claim that by damming the creek the
Santa Fe will cause overflow to their
lands; that the reservoir. as II is now
intended to be situated is the natural
drainage for the Santa Fe hospital end
Ioi LOWE; also that the scavenger's dumping
and burying ground Is drained through
this medium and the cattle feeding pens
are also drained by Birds creek. All OF
this they claim will tend TO po'lute the
water and endanger the health of parties
diving near the reservoir. They further
claim that IN case Of large rains there Is
"a danger OF the dam bursting. which would
be menacing TO their homes and lives.
The injunction granted Is temporary and
time Will shortly be set to hear argu-
ments OF both sides.
