PEACH CROP HURT BY
FR0sTs, BUT SLIGHTLY
Commissioner Hudson Says No
Doubt Some Damage Done,
but Crop Still Good

Recent cold weather has damaged the
crop of Georgia to a small extent. accord
ing to Thomas G. Hudson, state commits
sioner of agriculture. but if 10 more chiils
descend upon the blossoms, the crop as a
whole will be very fair, indeed.
There can be no doubt but that the
frosts lately have hurt the crop some.
says Commissioner Hudson. "CnqIestion-
ably small per cent of the blossom has
been killed in south Georgia and in this
section, too But we will still have
peaches enough i'm my opinion. A large
per cent of the blossom has not been dam
aged in the least"
Commissioner Hudson has the author
ity of first-hand observation behind what
he says about the crop.
He tells of a test which he saw applied
atGain esville Wednesday. by one of the
prominent horticulturists of the state.
Blossoms from trees in the lowlands OF
that famous peach growing section were
taken for examination, and blossoms were
also gathered from trees in the high
lands. The Iowland blossoms were ruined
to the extent of about 80 per cent of all
SONS were hardly hurt at all. The latter
had been saved through exposure to the
wind, which had dried up the cups and
had blown the frost away. -...
On the whole, he says, though the crop
has been hurt some, lit is still a very good
one.
