COLD WEATHER AFFECTS
MISS0URPS PEACH CROP.
Bulletin issued by Secretary of the
State Horticultural Society.

State Horticultural Society.
Columbia, Mo-, February 22.&
A. Goodwin, secretary OF the Nilsson
ri state horticultural society has
just issued the following bulletin on
the condition Of the peach crop:
"Theloss OF the peach crop in parts
OF the state seems a certainty. The
cold on the 18th is almost sure death
to the peach buds, because OF the
warm, wet weather we had been hav-
ing just previous to the severe cold
The warm, wet fall and winter has
caused the buds to swell, and were In
just the condition to be badly iniur-
ed by the sudden drop in tempera-
ture. We can safely say that there
will be very few, il any, peaches where
the mercury went down to II or IL
below zero. Just how far south this
damage has gone it is impossible to
state at this time, because they have
not yet thawed out enough to show
the dead peach. The farther south
we go the more advanced are the
fruit buds, and the less degree ofcold
does it take to kill them. In many
parts OF south Missouri the buds
were so far advanced that they be.
gan to show the pink OF the blossom.
The peach crop Of central and NORTH
Missouri is very badly injured, il not
entirely killed, and the crop of south
Missouri is seriously injured in very
many places at least. A few reports
from different parts OF the state have
been received here, iustifying the
statements made above as to the
killing OF the fruit buds The mercury
did not get rs low as expected III
many parts Of south Missouri, and
We now feel sure that many points
will have a partial crop, and a fair
crop or, perhaps, II full crop, in some
