Kansas City.-Based upon reports
from many districts of Missouri. Kan.
sas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
officials of farm and horticultural as.
sociations here said that enormous
damage had been caused by freezing
temperatures which recently prevailed
over the Southwest.
Little hope for early fruit crops IN
Missouri and Kansas was indicated
although it was said that the later
crops probably have not suffered ma.
terially
The sudden cold snap was preceded
by warm weather in most localities.
and officials said in many places fruit
trees were in bloom. Grain crops were
said to have been well advanced and
in some sections ojinting had taken
place. Fields which had not been
pastured were damaged.
Oklahoma's state Board of Agricul-
ture estimated that the loss OF ea1ly
fruit in that state would approximate
11,25O,000 an dsaid that rs per cent
of the crop was ruined by the recent
freezing temperatures.
Springfield reported sheet of snow
and ice covering southern Missouri
All early varieties of apples, peaches,
plums, pears and cherries were in full
bloom, and the loss undoubtedly will
be large. Another freeze was predict
ed for that section. Strawberry and
other berry crops are not believed 10
have suffered.
Wichita, Kan, and the Arkansas
valley found its fields of early grains
frozen down. Wheat which had not
been pastured was damaged particu-
larly while oats, which had been
planted early on account of the open
season, suffered a greater freeze. AL
falfa fields were all discolored, and no
fruit is expected this year in that sec
ton except in few protected or.
chards.
The peach and apricot crop at Ar
kansas City, Kan, and vicinity is
total loss, reports said, and a complete
survey of the damage will not be made
until after the thaw.
Reports emanating from the Texas
plains country report peaches and
'apricots a total loss and grave fear
for the alfalfa crop also was expressed.
Wheat is not believed to have been
damaged, and cherry, plum and apple
crops were saved, although suffering
some, according to the reports.
