FIRST NORTHER
OF SEASON HITS
VALLEY TODAY
Drop Of Il Degrees in Tenn
perature Registered by Lo-
cal Weather Bureau Since
Sunday Night

Heavy clohing and heating stoves
got their first inning of the season
in the Rio Grande Valley this morn
ing. the temperature having dropped
from 68 at o'clock last night TO Al
at noon today. This is the lowest
temperature recorded this winter in
the Valley, SO being the lowest dur
ing the November cold spell.
The norther is accompanied by n
chilly mist. making the weather more
disa"reeable than the usual norther,
and the local weather bureau reports
that the same condition will probably
prevail at least one more day. No
drop in temperature of more than a
few degrees is anticipated unless the
weather should clear and the wind
go down. Weather observer Schnur-
busch stated this afternoon that a
l. eezc is not likely, but warned cit
rus and truck growers TO be prepar
ed in the event the clouds clear
away and the wind drops.
Inquiries have been received today
at the weather bureau from many
parts Of the Valley regarding the
forecast for tonight and tomorrow.
and the citrus growers are preparing
TO operate their heaters if danger Of
a frost appears. MANY of them were
busy this morning filling their heat
crs and otherwise preparing To pro-
tect their groves in the event tht
weather clears during the night and
danger of freeze appears.
IL do not consider a freeze likely,
but | would advise the farmers of the
Rio Grande Valley TO be prepared,
Mr.. Schnurbusch stated. Il expect
cloudy wes.her tonight and tomor-
row and possibly Wednesday, and the
thermometer in that event will re-
main around 40. The weather map
this morning shows rather abnormal
conditions all over the United States
and Canada. with evidence Of a sec
ond cold wave coming from Montana,
but il j. impossible to tell whether
that will ever reach this far south.
