While the basic fer tilizers formerly were nitrogen, now they are adding a number of various needed elements. The change has required the building of a new plant facility on the Bombing Range road on land leased from Nelson -Tucker Ranches. At this new expanded plant the firm can do special blending for potatoes and other specialized crops. The new plant location is called Borlex, a combination of Boardman and Lexington. He told about the fact that frost does not often kill down the potato plants. This means they have to use a chemical to kill down the plants so the po tatoes will mature. The company, he said, works with a number of laboratories and with the County Agent. Investment in Heppner and Borlex plants, so far, amounts to about $100,000. The firm has four employees at Heppner and Borlex. They expect to add an other employee next year. He was asked about the Shell Company's 12,000 acre tract of I land in the North End of Mor row County He explained that the compa ny had the money appropriated for development of the big tract in row crops. Then the Bureau of Reclamation came along with the announcement that they would enforce the 160 acre ir rigation limitation. This ham strung the company's proposed development. They spent their appropriation for other things Now, he says, they . will need another appropriation to develop the land. A team of three head the Shell Developments with their offices in San Francisco.
