UNEASY AS TOROPS
GROWERS or FRUIT FEAR COLD
 WEATHER.
summerii<e Temperatures of Past Few Weeks Have Brought Out Buds and Frost Might Be
 Disastrous,

| 4 | Great concern is bbeing expressed by ! the growers of fruit in this part of the
 state over the prospects for peach,
 strawberry and other early budding crops this year on account of the Likelihood of frosts before the end of winter
 not predict any freezing weather as a result of the present cool wave. there are many who are fearful of the fut- ure, and those who. have berry and Qther low-lying crops. are taking every precaution to protect them from the ravages of the frost bite. <.
 The danger which now threatens the
 farmers of southern and central Ala
 bama is the direct result of the recent
 warm weather experienced in the Gulf States during the last week or ten days
 Under the influence of the warm sun. many of the peach trees, strawberry and tomato vines. and other crops have yalready budded, and If another frost comes between now and spring the growers will suffer serious loss. The statistics of tho weather bureau kept during the last thirty-three years, show that in nearly every year since 1873, there has been at least one period later than Washington's birthday, when frost has come to Montgomery, the average date on which 1t has ap- peared for the last time being March II. The latest date during this time was April 5. 1881, but the records show that freqaently the thermometer has dropped to s2 degrees or lower during March.
 Since 1873. the statistics show that the Freezing point has been reached in February, later than the twenty-second no less than twenty-nine times. the lowest temperature reached being 1884. The extreme low point for Feb ruary in this period of time, was on February 13, 1899, when the thermome ter dropped nearly out of sight at five degrees below zero.
