Week-end checkups in Taylor and
surrounding counties showed a sur-
prisingly low loss of grain because of
the cold weather. Percentages of wheat
stalks killed was low, leaving enough
to assure another splendid yield this
year if rainfall is sufficient.

Henry Reavis and Claude Bain of

cold snap did considerable damage in
that section, but not near so severe as
was at first reported, although fruits,
gardens and pecans were damaged
very badly.

Cold Spell Does
' Little Damage
The extreme cold spell Over this
section of the country last week did
not do near the damage as was first
reported.
Although the temperature dropped
to below the freezing point two days
and nights, and a very strong north
wind, near the storm velocity, was re-
corded all over the county, yet on a
final check-up made Tuesday of this
week, we find very little loss to live-
stock; in fact the loss this spell was
not noticeable above that which is an-
nually experienced following shearing
and lambing and kidding.
It was at frist thought that the pe-
can crop throughout the Nueces can-
yon sections was a total loss, but it
is now thought that the crop will be
about 50 per cent of normal, provid-
ed another cold snap does not follow'
later this spring.
Commissioner J. C. Pope and John
T. Lanman of Barksdale, while here
this week, stated to a representative bf
this paper that the pecan crop along the
Nueces river and its tributaries will in
their opinion be about 50 per cent of
the normally expected yield.
Mr. Lanman makes a specialty of
fine paper shell budded varieties of pe-
cans, and says that if weather condi-
tions remain favorable, he expects to
receive around 50 per cent of a nor-
mal crop from his trees.
He stated that the prospects early
in the season were very bright for a
bumper crop of the better varieties of
nuts, and it was indeed a hard knock
to see the blooms crumple up and
wither away following the extreme cold
spell of last week. Mr. Lanman made
a careful survey of the trees in his
section of the country, at his own orch-
ard. as well as at the orchards of his
neighbors, and is satisfied that the
loss will reach 50 per cent in many in-
stances, while in some sections the loss
will even reach 60 per cent, although
where trees were well protected, it is
held that the loss might be some
lighter. His figures are very conser-
vative, according to our opinion, after
talking with other pecan growers over
this section, and growers should feel
good over a prospect that wlil give
them even a 50 per cent crop, after ex-
periencing onen of the severest spells
of cold wathec ever recorded here in
April.
Our research shows that brush, nec-
essary to the well-being of goa^s and
cattle, was not materially damaged,
on account of the fact that it was out
of the bud stage and in full leaf. Nat-
urally the foleage on the north side
of the plants were damaged to sonfe
extent, yet not near as great as was
at first reported. The extremely high

wind accompanying the cold spell turn-
ed the leaves considerably, and they
looked scalded in many instances, only
to resume their dark green appearance
just as soon as the warm sunshine
came' out.
Of course this was not the case in
every instance, for it is noticed here
and there where much brush was badly
burned on the north side, yet taking
it as a whole, the damage to brush
was neglible.
Fruit trees suffered from the severe
cold and wind, and it is reported that
the plum crop over this section of the
country is a total loss, but the peach
crop will be about 40 per cent of nor-
mal.
Gardens were damaged very severe-
ly, and all garden stuff, with the ex-
ception of potatoes, that were covered
by dirt, will have to be replanted.
