Crops Damaged by Frost.
Reports from different sections
of the county indicate that a
good part of the cotton crop that
was up has been killed by the
frost aud cold of Wednesday
night. In some sections the
damage is reported as being only
slight, but in some places the
crop was almost entirely killed
and quite h number began on
Thursday to plow up the injured
crop and re-plant.
The reports indicate that all
the cotton that had been worked
is injured much worse than that
which had just come up and had !
not been disturbed. As yet it
would be difficult to form any
kind of an accurate estimate as
to what portion of the entire crop
that has been injured, but there j

is no doubt of the fact that the
crop has been hard hit in some
sections of the county. The
heaviest hamage reported so far
is in the low Black-Jack section
around Ogeen. If conditions
are as bad as reports that have
been received indicate they are
I in some places, the farmers will
j be in a rather bad way.
It is not altogether too late
to re-plant, but cotton planted
now could hardly make a full j
crop even with the most favorable
weather conditions. Seed are
also very scarce. Very few farmers
reserved more than seed
enough to plant and if there is
much replanting to do there may
be some trouble in obtaining seed. ;
