full of romance and laughter and Sc

On account of THE Rose Maid'a

FRUIT CROP IS
INJURED BY THE
RECENT BLIZZARD
COOLEST DAY OF THE WINTER
Extent Of Damage Not Known
at This Time

If Americas peach orchards escap-
ed in whole or in part the effect of
yesterdays blizzard, the crop will tic
safe, for it is difficult to understand
how a chillier blast could be turned
loose In Americas the temperature
dropped to % degrees yesterday morn
irg, and ice a half inch in thickness
was in evidence everywhere. 1t was
beyond doubt the coolest day that this
section has seen this winter.
The greatest fear, quite naturally, IS
the damage which the peach orchards
may have sustained. The Times-Re-
corder talked with several growers
yesterday, and all expressed the hope
that little damage had resulted. This,
however, cannot be determined until
the tender young buds thaw out
The high wind prevailing Sunday
map have dried all moisture from the
buds, thus rendering them less sus,
ceptible to freeze.
Up to this time the orchards in the
Americas territory, containing more
than 100000 trees, have been in fine
trim, with the prospect of an abund-
ant crop. Many of the trees have
swelling buds and these may be nip
ped by the severe freeze yesterday
morning. Perhaps, in such event,
good crop would still be left upon the
trees. By this afternoon the growers
can form a better estimate of the
damage done.
State Entomologist Worsham is APP
prehensive that the recent cold, snow
and freeze in sections of the state has
done harm to the fruit crop.
Just how much he has no definite in
formation concerning as yet, but let
ter from a peach grower in Epson
county, said that in his orchards -
per cent of one variety and 20 per cent.
of another had been killed
From now on will be a critical time
with fruit" said Mr.. Worsham The
peach trees are budding and blooming
rapidly, and while they are in full
bloom are particularly susceptible to
cold and frost. l feel reasonably sure
that the recent cold has done some
harm, but I am hopeful that it is not
very extensive as yet.
However, the crop must yet pass
through March weather, which is often
cold, raw and with frequent freeza IS
and frost. Growers should be on their
guard and do everything possible e
protect their fruit"
