LONDON, Feb. 11.——Surprise
and disappointment prevailed in
English circles today after pub
lication in the Express of a story
that the Prince of Wales had de
cided to abandon hunting and
point-to-point racing.
The story said a hunting stable
of fifteen horses, among them
Degomme, a favorite, would be sold
within a fortnight, the decision
being due to rapidly increasing
duties of the Prince because of the
illness of his father.
The Express story, which lacked
confirmation, emphasized, howev

“for the time being" only, and did
not intend to abandon it perma

FROST IS SEEN
OVER VALLEY
MONDAY NIGHT
First Freeze In Over
Year Reported To
Have Done Slight
Damage Sunday
Frost over the Valley, probably
heavy in the upper (western) por
tion, was predicted for Monday night
by U. S. Meteorologist W. J. Schnur
busch. The temperature was to be
from 34 to 40 degrees.
Temperatures were slated to begin
slowly rising Tuesday. Predictions
were for the akies to remain clear
tonight and for light to moderate
winds, mostly northerly. Freezing
temperatures reached in some parts
of the Valley Sunday night were the
first recorded since Jan. 2, 1928.
Conflicting reports with respect to
crop damage resulting from the
freezing temperature Sunday night
were received in Brownsville Mon
day, and according to experienced
growers no definite estimate can be
made until the weather has returned
to normal.
Mercedes reported considerable
j damage to beans and tomatoes, and
both Mission and Hidalgo reported
practically no damage. Raymondville
reported no damage to the onion
crop, with damage to truck indefi
nite.
In the Los Fresnos section, farm
ers reported that ice formed where
water in receptacles was sheltered
from the wind, but the potato, bean
and tomato crops showed no material
damage. From the Southmost sec
tion came reports to the effect that
the bean crop may be reduced, and
similar reports were received from
El Jardin.
Experienced growers stated Mon
day morning that it would be im
possible to form an accurate esti
mate of the bean damage until the
weather moderates and the sun has
been out several hours. That the
cold north wind has hurt the beans
is evident, but the extent of the
damage will depend to a great ex
tent upon future weather conditions.
If the weather moderates slowly, as
forecast by the weather bureau, the
damage it not expected to be heavy.
Samples of beans brought to the
office of W. E. MePavitt in Browns
ville Monday showed very little ill
effects from the freezing tempera
ture. Growers generally agreed that
potatoes and tomatoes were not ma
terially damaged.
The weather bureau at Brownsville
reported a minimum of 33 degrees.
The wind velocity during the night
varied from 8 to 12 miles an hour,
and this is what saved the Valley
crop, growers said. The sky was
clear most of the night, bat the wind
prevented frost from accumulating.
Cabbage growers asserted the crop
