Florida Truck Crop
Is Hit By Killing
Frost Last Week
Thousands of acres of Florida
truck crops were completely
wiped out or badly damaged by
the week-end frosts -and chilling
temperatures.
In the Everglades area alone
2500 acres of beans were killed
and 1,200 acres of corn badly
damaged. Five hundred acres
potatoes were about 20 per cent
damaged.
These were preliminary freeze
estimates by the Federal-State
frost warning service here.
-Meterologists Warren O. John
son said even lettuce and dabbace
south of Lake Okeechobee were
slightly damaged. Celery in the
area was not hurt.
The frosts skipped here and
there about peninsular Florida,
nearly all farming sections suf
fered.
The frost last Friday and Sat
urday mornings ended a 53-day
frost-free period. Thermometers
got as low -as 21 degrees in the
Gainesville area.
Metedologist Johnson reported
all unprotected tender truck crops
in the Gainesville area were al
most a total loss. There was minor
damage to strawberries.
Nearly all the tung oil tree
blooms—-whioh were about three
weeks early—-were destroyed.
This could mean a total loss of
the tung nut crop in some spots.
The average speed of freight
trains, from .terminal to terminal,
was higher in 1949 than in any
year on record.

I Many Georgia cities received
i the first real cold snap of this
year over last week-end, but ag
ricultural experts reported little
or no damage to crops.
County Agent R. T. Swan, at
Fort Valley, said the peach crop
in'that area was not affected by
the cold snap because very few
of the trees were in bloom.
At Valdosta, Lowndes County
Agent R. E. Miller reported the
j majority of truck crops in that
| | part been of planted South and Georgia therefore had just
was
not affected by the cold weather.
He added tobacco plants have
received “slight damage from
blue mold because of recent
heavy dews, but added he did not
think the damage would amount
to much.”
Lowndes County is one of Geor
i gia’s big shippers of truck crop
plants such as tomatoes, cabbage

ed little damage despite hard
freezes in several South Georgia
cities .
