PRESIDENT SENDS
XMAS GREETINGS
TO BOY SCOUTS
President Coolidge issued a special
message of Christmas (fleeting to the
Boy Scouts of America The letter
follows:
“As you are representative of the
boys of America who live in or are in-
terested in the open country, with
which I come into an official relation.
I want to extend to all of you a (’hirst-
mas Greeting, it seems a short time
ago that I was a boy and in the midst
of farm life myself helping to do the
chores at the barn, working in the
corn and potato fields, getting in the
hay, and in the springtime doing
what most of you have never had an
opportunity to see -making maple su-
gar.
“I did not have a chance to go into
1 Boy Scout organization. That chance
ought to be a great help to the boys
of the present day. It brings them in-
to association with each other in a
way where they learn to think hot
only for themselves, hut of other peo-
ple. It teaches them to he unselfish.
It trains them to obedience and gives
them self-control. A very wise man
gave ns this motto: ‘Do the duty that
lies nearest you.’ It seems to me that
this is the plan of your organization.

DAMAGE IN VALLEY
ONLY TEN PER CENT
Worst Cold Wave in 25 Years Does
Only Slight Damage to Fruits and
Vegetables in Valley.
Winning out over the worst freeze
in 25 years, the Lower Rio Grande
Valley emerged Thursday morning
victorious in the battle with King Bo-
reas, who brought down a wave of
cold weather all over the United Sta-
tes. Damage to winter crops in the
Vally is about 10 percent, according
to the most reliable estimates.
The cold wave hit the Valley about
noon Sunday, when rain began pour-
ing down. The temperature went be-
low freezing Sunday night, Monday
night and Tuesday night and started
rising again Wednesday. Sleet fell
continuously Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday, came rain
and mist, which were welcomed to
save the crops rather than a sudden
clearing of the skies and sunshine,
which would accentuate the damage
done by the freeze.
investigation showed that for the
most part there is practically no in-
jury to -carrots and little to cabbage.
These two commodities, with beets,
form tiie principal winter crops of
Weslaco Community. Tops of beets
were frozen down, but many think
they will grow back quickly, although
marketing will lie delayed. Cauliflow-
er, at first thought to be ruined, is
practically uninjured, according to M.
It. Beamer, who has a good sized field
of this vegetable. Tomatoes were all
killed, and lettuce was injured, but
like cabbage, the outer leaves are
hurt, while the interior is intact.
Damage to citrus fruit and trees has
taken place, though the extent of the
damage is a matter of variance of
opinion, it is undoubtedly true that
some fruit has been rendered useless
for marketing, but a large part has al-
ready been sold and the majority of
the balance is in good shape.
Chief damage to the trees was not
caused by the cold, because the con-
tinual rain and sleet formed a heavy
coat of ice. This ice, however, had
sufficient weight to break down the
upper limbs in many citrus trees. The
broken limbs should be cut off, and
they will grow hack quickly, according
to W. H. Friend, superintendent of the
Texas Experiment Station two miles

east of Weslaco. There will be no
fruit from the new limbs the first
year, however, Mr. Friend states.
Young nursery stock has been dam-
aged somewhat, though the exact ex-
tent will not he known for a week or
so, states Harry C. Solether, who with
his brother. Clell. has a farm and nur-
sery on the highway west of the city.
M. Solether thought the damage was
about the same or less than that of
last year.
The lowest temperature recorded
was that of 24 degrees at the Second
Lift Pump, according to Will Detlel’,
manager. The thermometer at the Ex-
periment Station went down to 26.;
which was the lowest general temper-
ature recorded. Winter vegetables can
stand this temperature, for a limited j
amount of time, provided the freeze
breaks up with rain and mist, allow-
ing the vegetables to thruw out slow-
ly, Mr. Friend states.
The freeze this winter was part of
a nationwide cold spell, in which no
section of the United States was ex-
empt. The cold weather over the
whole country was predicted in Sep-
tember by astronomers. The Valley
was not exempt, but. with on average
loss of only 10 to 15 percent, farmers
and business men are not discouraged
realizing the destruction by the cold
was much greater in every other sec-
tion than in the Lower Rio Grande
alley, where the sunshine spends the
