Freezes Hit Citrus Crops
Los Angeles, Jan. 4 — (U,P) — A freeze that may have damaged southern California's multi-million-dollar citrus and vegetable crops sent temperatures into the 20's today in the citrus belt and as low as 17 degrees in the Cochallley valley.
Citrus growers burned orchard heaters most of the night. A dense cloud of smoke moved long-lenght-ly toward Los Angeles and most of the citrus section.
Estimates of crop damage, if any, were not expected to be available for several days, until growers have a chance to inspect trees and plants. Pests that threaten tree growth almost all sections more than few miles from the coast.
Heaters were kept burning until long after sunrise in many spots. Wind machines and other protective devices also were called into use.
Indio, in the heart of the Coachella valley agricultural district, the nation's date-producing center and the scene of vast grapefruit and vegetable ranches, recorded a minimum of 17 degrees. The low temperature was 15 degrees at Palmdale, a grain and fruit-growing district.
General Lee's sword was returned to him by General Grant after Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
