COLD SNAP HELPED
PEACH CROP SAYS
STATE FRUIT EXPERT

Atlanta, March 24-The cold snar
has helped instead of hurt the fruit
crop in Georgia Growers who trem-
bled for the results of the snow and
possible freezing weather are reassur-
ed today by reports from all parts OF
the state saying that none of the fruit
was far enough advanced to be injur-
ed.
According to the state chronological
department, there will be 100 per
cent crop throughout the whole north
ern section of Georgia if nothing oc-
ours from now on to hurt the crops.
According to the department, the buds
are just beginning to swell, and con-
sequently received no injury at ali
from the snow and cold.
The frost that covered the state Sun
day night was not cold enough to do
any harm, as it would have taken %
degrees to kill the peaches
The weather man says Georgia Is
not quite tout of the woods" yet on
cold weather, but that there is every
reasonable likelihood that the state
will have no more of it to speak of.
