Atlanta, Ga.—Not only did the Georgia fruit crop pass unscathed through the recent cold, Imt 1914 will be a bumper year, according to the statement issued by the Georgia Fruit Exchange Monday. "Little, if any. damage was done aB fas as we can learn. ’ said Secretary Marks, "and the outlook Is for a fine crop that will compare favorably with the 1912 output. During that year over 7,000 carloads were shipped out; and if there is no further severe cold the output this year will be almost as large.” According to W. W. Chase, of the state entomological department, who spent all of last week in north Geor gia, there will be a 100 per cent crop in that section if nothing further oc curs to damage the trees. "The buds up there are Just begin ning to swell,” said Mr. Chase, "and sustained no injury whatever.” In the South, where thp trees are further advanced, some little damage may have resulted to those in the bot tom lands, but, according to the Fruit Exchange, this is not material. Frost was reported all over the state Monday night, but the temper ature did not fall below freezing, says the weather man. As it takes about 25 degrees to kill the peaches, the re ports on the fruit crop were most en couraging. "Wo are not out of the woods yet,” said the weather man, "because snow and a temperature of 22 degrees have been recorded in April; but I think warm weather will nurry itself along now.” Thomazville, Ga. —A heavy front and plenty of thin ice which Thoinati vllle people found on arising yester day did not seem very spring-like, but Indications are that comparatively little damage has resulted from them. Watermelons and corn crops were not sufficiently advanced to be injured 'o any extent. Early vegeta tries were nipped somewhat, but not killed. It is hoped that the Leconte pear crop was not seriously damaged, as many of the blooms were not fully opened. Such cold weather so late In March Is very unusual for tills section. Hi.
