COLD RUINS
FRUIT CROPS

Colder Now Than in January
Rain Has Been Falling
Steady For a Week 4


Paris, May Is. S.-LP) Snow, rain,
hail and gales, such is the merry
month of May in France. Winter
sports have been resumed in the
Auvergne mountains, where skiers
are out in force.
The sunny south is the worst t-suf-
ferer from the elements. Rain has
been falling ceaselessly for the past
week, and the temperature has been
dropping almost as fast as the rain.
1t is now colder than it was in
January.
Fruit crops all over France have
been ruined and cereals are threaten
ed. Many valleys, which suffered
badly at the beginning of the year
from floods, again are menaccd by
rising waters, notably the Upper
Marine, the Rhone, and the Durance.
