South Suffers From Geld
That Is Unprecedented
COTTON CROP BADLY HURT
Snow Fnlls In Many Places Where Snow
Was Never Before Seen at
This Period of the
Year

Atlanta, April 26.-- With millions of
acres of young cotton destroyed by the
cold weather which today overspread
the entire cotton belt. with the unusual
April accompaniment In many sections
If snow and sleet, the south has suf-
fered its most disastrous financial set
back, perhaps, since the civil war. Be-
sides cotton, young vegetables of every
description suffered from the freezing
temperatures and fruit was more or
less damaged in every southern state
except Florida.
Reports received tonight indicate that
the cold snap has not abated in Geor-
gia, South Carolina, Tennessee, north
ern Alabama. Louisiana and Mississippi,
and even farther west; and for much of
this territory heavy frost and freez-
ing temperatures are predicted for
Tuesday morning. In Atlanta and
throughout the northern half of Geor-
gia except near the Atlantic, the ther-
mometer has been below 40 all day,
with falling temperatures reported to-
night.
Atlanta awoke this morning to find
houses anu lHe thei

never before recorded after the first
few days of April. Snow fell as far
south as Selma, Ala; Columbus, Miss,
and Columbus. Ga, and In north Geor-
gia. Tennessee and parts OF north Ala
bama and Mississippi the fall ranged
from one to four inches.
Cotton seed oil mills in this state
and Alabama today were appealed to
for seed for replanting purposes and
state officials implored the mills to
crush no more seed until the farmers
have been supplied. 1t is doubtful
however. IL sufficient seed can be Sc
cured. even at the record prices being
offered, to replant one-half OF the
area of young cotton destroyed by the
cold.
At Columbus, Ca, tonight one cotton
seed oil mill announced that its entire
supply was at the command or the
planters and would be sold for 81 per
bushsl. Today a carload of seed was
shipped from that point to the Missis-
sippi delta and many kilograms We're
received from all sections OF the south
asking for an allotment of seed sup
