Early peachet.. apricots, plums and !
years are believed to have suffered
Considerable damage In a number of
Oklahoma counties by reason of the
a^iusual cold of the last few days,
according to reports received by the
local papers over the state from the I
fruit growing centers of the ^tate. j
Some of the reports Indicate that j
very little damage has resulted from j
the cold. All of them agree that late j
peaches and the apple crop Is safe. ■
Early gardens, In some instances, |
have suffered from the frost, al
though It is believed in all cases that!
the damage Is only temporary and
that growing vegetables will recover
without being stunted. •
Peaches, pears and plums In this
county have been hard hit by the re
Cent cold weather, according to Prof.
F. M. Rolfs of the department hortl
culture of the Oklahoma A. and M.
college. Apples, generally, are not
affected, although crab apples have
been seriously damaged.
With the exception of radishes and
lettuce, garden stuff has not, been
seriously damaged, says Professor
Rolfs. Even radishes and lettuce will
probably recover from the freeae.
Late peaches will probably have
a change,^ as they were not so far
Advanced. If other parts of the state
have been as hard hit as this section,
however, there promises to be an
exceedingly light peach crop this
year. #
The temperature fell to 25 degrees
during the cold snap. A temperature
of 28 is generally considered low
enough to kill fruit buds.
