 The report of Dr. Hinds was de- leyed until investigations could he made.f Speaking of the results. he said ! that in the northern part of the state where cotton leaf worms stripped the foliage rather completely last fall. the l number of wcevils entering hiberna-

 ! The recent cold wave undoubtedly destroyed q large part of the wceviis
 under most shelter conditions where the tempe, ature went below zero. It is expected that most of the weevils which were hibernating ill hulls u;i stamling stalks were destroyed where the temperature went to six degrees

About 500.OOO Acres Of Oats Will Have To
 Be Replanted

AUBURN Ala, Jan. 19.--(Spe- sial. .|-That the recent cold snap caused severe losses for Alabama farm CTS is the opinion of Prof. M. J. Fun chess, acting director of the agricul- tural experiment station, as expressed by him after receiving authentic re- ports as to the damage of different crops in all parts of the state. s On oats Professor Funchess said :: 'The loss varied from about 30 per cent on the crop in south Alabama to almost the entire crop in north Ala bama. The acreage in oats is not last year and the present crop is prob ably about the same. Therefore, the loss, due to the killing of oats, was large iii the aggregate"
 A Wheat on the experiment. station here was almost total loss but defi- mite information as to the injury throughout the state is not known. It is feared, however, that it was severe.
 Both crimson clover and. bur clover were badly injured and large part of both crops killed. A personal in vestigation was made by, John Will liamson, field agent for the experiment station, in Limestone, Colbert, Marion, DeKalb. Etowah, Cherokee and Talla- dega counties. revealed that crimson clover and bur clover were not en- tirely killed but Mir. Williamson was unable to estimate the exact extent of the damage. his@
 Hairy vetch Unhurt
 Hairy vetch, which is, by far, the leading winter legume in Alabama, seems to have come through unscathed. 1t was planted last fall in / every county having county ageilt and the present crop is estimated to be at least four times as. great as that of any pre- vious year. During last summer and fall farmers were urged by county agents and other extension service workers to plant hairy vetch. and the manner in which it stood the recent freeze is very gratifying to all who recommended it to farmers.
 Annual yellow melilotus, which is a very promising winter legume, was almost totally killed in north Ala bama, while partial stand is living in south Alabama. Red clover on the experiment. station at Auburn was practically killed. \>
 Gardens were practically wiped out. adding much to the total loss suffered by farmers.
 Many Weevils Killed
 But good accompanied the losses. Dr. W. E. Kinds. entomologist for the experiment station, reports heavy boil weevil casualties in the northern half of Alabama. Where the temperature went to zero he thinks that most of them were killed, and where thermom- eters went to six above large num- bers were killed.
 In south Alabama .Dr. Kinds says that about the, normal weevil survival is expected to date
 Corn weeyils, which take an enor- / nous. toliseach year, are known to have been killed in large numbers, which is another big advantage of the freeze.
