The mercury slid to a low of
26 degrees last night in Hender-
son, but had crawled back up to
38 at noon today. Frost was
forecast for tonight, but it was
indicated that the spring norther
had passed its peak and that
freezing was unlikely.
The United Press issued the
following information on weather

Texans sought today to deter-
mine the amount of crop damage
resulting from the freezing wea-
ther of the last few days as the
weather bureau announced that
the cold spell was nearly over.
In Bell county, in central Tex-
as, reports showed that consider-
able portion of the oats and
wheat crops were killed because
of the freeze.
Much of the oats and wheat
acreage already had been replant-
ed once after the January freeze,
but it would not be replanted
again, farmers said, Hecau.se of
the lateness of the season.
