SAY DAMAGE is EXTENSIVE.
Atlanta Reports Make Effects of Cola
Very DisaStrOue.


Atlanta, April 22.-Reports received to-
night from all over the state indicate
that the Georgia peach and other fruit
crops, particularly the watermelons, have
suffered severely from the recent winds
and cold. Many consider that the effect
will be to cut down the fruit crop one
half, while others take a more hopeful
view. The loss of half the peach crop.
would mean the loss of more than half
a million dollars to the state.
Whether the crop has been partly kill
ed by the cold weather cannot yet be
determined, State Etolmologist w. NJ.
Scott said to-day that until the sun came
out it would be impossible 10 estimate
the damage done or 10 determine whether
the crop had been killed. According to
Mr.. Scott it will be at least ten days
before any conclusion can be reached.
The cold weather penetrated far down
III South Georgia, and it is known that
the melon crop, the cotton crop and the
corn crop have been killed, and as fruit
is almost as susceptible to the cold as
the others mentioned 1t Is believed in
many quarters that the small peaches
which were just beginning to come out
have also been killed. About 40 to 80 per
cent. of the young cotton which was
above ground is reported killed, though
not great deal of the crop had reached
that stage. Several farmers in Southern
Georgia will replant as much as 1,00t
acres each. There are some complaints
of lack of seed, but it is believed there
will be plenty secured for all the replant-
ing necessary.

MR.. BERcKmANs ON THE COLD.
He Does Not Think That Any Damage
HnS Resulted.


Dublin, Ga, April 22.-Dr. P. ]. Berk-
mans, president of the State Horticultu-
raj Society," and one of the best posted
men in the state as to matters pertaining
to fruit culture, has been spending several
days in Dublin as the guest of Cob. J. NJ.
Stubbs. He was seen this morning by
your correspondent in regard to the effect
of the cold weather of the last day or two
upon the fruit and other crops. He did
not think the crops were damaged to any
appreciable extent. In North Georgia
much damage resulted, perhaps, from
what what he had learned of the cold
wave, but in this section and in the fruit
belt proper he does not believe any con-
siderable injury was done. The temper
allure did not fall Hower than about 80 de-
grees in this section, and this was not low
enough to do more than perhaps cut short
some of the tenderest and youngest
plants. The cutting off of some of the
fruit will do that which remains much
good, allowing it to grow larger, DR..
Berckmans thinks. The high winds, how
ever. the doctor says, may have injured
melons and young cotton.
State Entomo.ogist Scott and his assist
ana, Mr. F'iske, were here Friday con-
ferring with DR.. Berckmans as to the ap-
pearance of the San Jose scale on certain
fruit and shade trees. The orchards at
Kewanee, Montrose and Danvile were in
spected, and the scale found to a slight
extent at Kewanee. 1t can be kept under
perfect control, however, by giving it the
proper attention. The peach orchard at
Kewanee in this county, 1t is not gen.
orally known, is the largest in Georgia.
