PEACH CROP BADLY HURT
BY FRIDAYS KILLING FROST

E. Lee Worsham, State Entomolo-
gist,, declared Friday that the Geor-
gia peach crop, especially in the
northern section of the State, had
been hurt seriously by the killing
frost which fell Thursday night, and
the damage done would amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The expert asserted that his own
peaches in Ormewood had been dam
aged considerably and the buds on
trees planted in low spots were
frozen.
With the temperature as low as
| 2S degrees in suburban Atlanta, said
Worsham, peaches in the Gainesville
and Gainesville sections doubtless
suffered serious damage, and in many
places the crop is destroyed. Only
the high wind which prevailed dur
ing the night saved the North Geor-
gia crop from utter ruin.
"A peach tree at the present stage
of budding can not stand more than
% degrees. An advanced tree is sure
| to suffer from the frost that fell last
night.
"Orchards situated on ridges and
slopes, so as to get the full force of
the wind, may have escaped with
slight damage, for indications are
that the wind was high enough to
keep the frost from falling in GER
tain localities.
1T is difficult to estimate the dam
age done, even in the North Georgia
section, where the temperature is
bound to have been low, but il will
run into hundreds of thousands.
What damage was done in the Fort
Valley and Perry sections is con-
jectural.'
Mr. Worsham, when shown dis
patches from Macon estimating dam
age in that section from 20 to 40 per
cent, said that damage in Northeast
Georgia probably would reach SO per
cent.
son a guess, made from the mea-
ger information on weather condi-
tons that has come to this Office,
would place the damage done by the
frost to the fruit crop at close to
81 600. 600" he said.
Atlanta was one of the coolest
places in the South this morning be-
fore the sun rose, the thermometer
showing 2S degrees at 6 o'clock, as
against So degrees for the same day
last year, However, as soon as the
sun rose the thermometer showed its
effect, and rose ten points in the first
hour.
At 10 o'clock Worsham received a
telegram from E.E B. Heard, a prom
inent fruit grower in Elberton, in the
heart Of the northeast peach sec
ton, asserting that the crop had been
destroyed. The telegram said:
Temperature 20; heavy frost
Fruit crop destroyed.
'E. B. HEARD"
Similar disheartening news came
from other parts of the State. Mes
sages from SummeFville in the eX-
treme northwestern part Of the State;
GAINESVILLE, Fort Valley, Adairsville
COrnelia, and other towns and dis
tricts told that the damage to the
fruit had been great.
1T will be several days before we
can estimate with any degree of ac-
curacy the extent of the ruin" said
Mr.. WOrsham. To-day the frozen
buds look very much the same as
those which have not suffered, but
within a short time they will turn
black and will show how badly the
fruit growers will suffer"
