DAMAGE FROM COLD
WAS VERY SLIGHT
Wind Prevented Severity Of
Frost

While Americus was touched gently
yesterday morning alike by the frost
and ice king, the belief was generally
expressed among fruit growers and
gardeners that nc very great damage
had been inflicted, and that both the
peach and vegetable crops were safe,
or if damaged at all, that the damage
was inconsiderable.
The fact that the wind blew steadily
during the day and night preceding
insured the safety of the orchards, as
it dried all moisture from the peach
blooms and thereby rendered them less
susceptible to cold. Local fruit m IN
said yesterday that the trees would
not be injured.
Reports yesterday from the Fort
Valley orchards we're alike reassuring,
although the temperature must have
gone lower there than in the Americus
district. The crop there, as here, will
be small one this year, at the best,
the growers estimating it now at about
65 per cent The orchards about
Americus, containing in the aggrega; .
about 250,OO0 trees, are now in fun
bloom, and a two-thirds crop at good
prices will prove more remunerative
than have full crops at poor prices.
Gardeners here, like the fruit grow
eTs, believe that no great injury was
inflicted yesterday by the cold The
prevailing wind tempered the frost and
tender beans and Irish potatoes seenl-
ed to have escaped injury. Many gar
deners had feared that entire replans.
ing of the crop might be necessary
Farmers coming to the city stated that
young corn had not been injured to any
extent, while the oat crop escaped as
well Altogether Sumter county has
weathered the blizzard without ma-
terial injury to the crops.

FINDS FRUIT
SAFE AFTER
The Freeze
So THINKS Mr.. MATTHEWS
Many Fruit Growers We're
interviewed

Macon, Ca, March 28.-Interviews
with nearly every peach grower in the
middle Georgia fruit belt this morn
ing shows that so far as can be as
certained now, the fruit crop for tho
year 1913 has not suffered from the
present cold spell.
NJ M. Mathews, of Fort Valley, and
manager of the Fort Valley Journal,
while in Macon today stated that he
had communicated with nearly every
grower in his section and has received
the information that despite the frost
of yesterday and this morning the out.
look for the crop is excellent.
In 1909, he recalls, Georgia raised
bumper crop, the largest and best
in the history of the state, and still
there was heavy frost in the month
of March and icicles covered the
shedding peach blossoms. The same
conditions exists this year, and al
though some fear is felt by Local
peach growers, most of them are opti-
mistic.
Judge w. H. FELTON,, one of the
largest peach growers in this section,
communicated with the foreman OF
his orchards over long distance tele>
phone this morning, and received the
information that notsronly was the
peach crop SO far safe, but that ab-
solutely no damage had been done 10
the asparagus, which is considered
the tenderest of growing vegetables.
Absolutely definite information as
to the exact state of affairs in the
peach business cannot be received for
three days, but the early reports
lead the growers to believe that the
crop is safe.
The buds have matured in a great
many cases, and even in cases where
the shedding is in process, there has
been no damage noticed. 1t is at this
season of the year when the peacn
crop relates to the Matching of a
chicken: The buds are cracking, so to
speak, and giving way to the infant
peaches.
The peach is naturally governed 10
a great extent by Providence and lo-
cal peach growers have every reason
to believe that Providence has beeL
good to the Matching peaches.
There was no heavy frost reported
in any section of the peach belt, and
warmer weather is predicted for the
entire section tonight

FRUIT SAFE IN THE
LOWER PART OF GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, March 2S.-Repor.s
received here today from correspon-
dents in the fruit belts of Georgia are
to the effect that the fruit in the north
ern and middle sections of the state
has been materially damaged by the
drop in temperature OF Thursday night.
According to early examinations with
the exceptions of the orchards around
Dalton and in the vicinity of Colum-
bus and south of Fort Valley, the
peach crop is said to have been killed.
Fort Valley district reports that at
best the damage to the fruit will be
severe.
Rome reports that fruit in North
Georgia is damaged, but not killed
The crop in the vicinity of Cornelia
and Mount Airy is killed At Column
bus, Dalton, Thomasville and Way
cross it is said that the crop escaped
injury
The forecast from the Washington
weather bureau that killing frost
will fall over Georgia to the Florida
line Friday night is causing much ap-
prehension.
