COLD APRILS.
There Have Been Many of Them In
Past Years Here.
The cold weather since April first has
been the cause of considerable comment
aud many have asked if it is not unusual
for such low temperatures to come so
late in the spring. During years past
there lias often boon a frost or sleet
in Georgia, in this month or later. Dr.
T S. Hopkins is a close student of clim
atology and he has famished the Times-
Enterprise with somo interesting data
compiled from goverumont weathor re
ports. The figures areas follows, the
date indicating the latest frost for the
year:
1808—May, cotton killed.
1818—Frost every month.
1828—April 0, 20 degrees, corn killed.
1848— Frost, May 8
1849— Sleet, April 15th.
1851—Frost, May 0th.
1856— Frost, May 10.
1857— Sleet, April 0, Frost in May.
1859—April 0, ice.
1879—Oot. 15., early killing frost.
Dr. Hopkins remembers distinctly
the frost in May of '48. Tho minimum
temperature registered in Thomasville
during the month has been 41 degrees.
Fruit has not yet been injured. The
oold has retarded the growth of young
cotton but as a whole no doraogo has
boeu done. In North Georgia the peach
crop has suffered to a slight extent.
