The great freeze of Feb. 13, 1899
did SO much damage in our cane
fields as to make all planters quite
anxious as to the results Of any of
our cold waves. The United States
Weather Bureaus report of March
weather in New Orleans during the
last 20 years becomes of special
interests now that we seem fairly
well assured of fine cane crop
for 1900, should no nntoward in
huence prevail.
The average temperature of
March in New Orleans has been
SO f., the warmest March that of
1897, with an average of SO r.,
and the coldest that of 1886, with
an average Of 50 F. The highest
temperature recorded was S4 F.,
March 26, 1899, and the lowest 80
f., March 2, 1890. This latter
light freeze will be remembered as
cutting down to the ground line

was making fine showing. stand
