I.OS ANGELES. Cal.. Jan. S.
With the cold wave that has en
gulfed Southern California for four
days, receding, estimators nro trying
today to place a figure on the loss
to this section of tho country through
the-uiTusunl "visitation. From forty
to sixty per rent of the citrus crop Is
a total loss." ThlsTFgenorally agreid
by citrus experts, but tho exact per
centage, mid the attending financial
loss, cannot be definitely fixed for
another week. It Is believed, how
ever, that tho damage will exceed
$30,000,000.
Not only citrus crops suffered.
Small vegetables arc practically
wiped out. Ileans, peas, tomatoes
and other vegetables aro soaring In
price, and tho cost of living In
Southern California threatens to bo
the highest on record for tho noxt
! three months.
Every attempt Is being mndo In
every citrus section to thaw the dam
aged fruit In such a manner that It
will not be an entire loss. If pro
per temperatures, gradually reduced,
can bo maintained In groves, some
of tho frosted fruit can bo saved.
