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. City ? Farm & f * i ; i . ; t I well ?

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.

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 “ d n also was reported to have suffer ed little damage despite hard freezes in several South Georgia cities . j Similar reports of only moder i ate damage to Georgia crops were 1 noted at Moultrie, Albany, Way j j crasS) Tifton, Douglas and Nash v j]i e _ Meanwhile, a different picture j was pa i n ted in Florida and North 0 aro lina where chilling tempera j ^ures destroyed many acres of cropS Thousands of acres of Florida ■ truck crops were wiped out or badly damaged by the week-end —- 1 ? 1,074,544 chose GULF LIFE! —ci truly American example of the “Freedom of Choice” I f ou have no choice when there’s only one of something.
