Bill was hauling the load in a four wheel trailer behind a car and wns making the turn the other side of the bridge when the bolts holding the trailer sheared o ff and the trailer, chickens and all went coasting over into the bar- row pit, turned over with the four wheels upright. The chickens protested in no uncertain -Terms but after Mr. Mendenhall and Walt Mahoney had tippeel the trailer up again they found that not even a slat in the crates were broken and not a bird lost his neck prematurely. $1.50 PER YEAR Successful Harvest Season S T I ^ ^ T () w ! -------- 11 Dr. -mber 7th, at the 1 un beginning at | m l are cordially t the ladles .to j Arguments :. st bidder.

Lettuce, Potatoes, Carrots and Onions Shipped from Nyssa Section Past Season Freezing weather brought a close to 1 ihe harvest season in this section Tues- | day and grower^ and dealers are now ; closing up their business in readiness for a good start in the spring. This past lettuce season has been extremely long, lavorable weather keeping the crews in the fields nearly three weeks longer than usually the case for lettuce In this I section. .. A check up made this week showed that 244 cars of potatoes had been load ed from the Nyssa station during the past season, 154 cars of straight lettuce ind 23 cars of mixed vegetables. Ten cars of carrots were shipped and 4« cats of onions, making a total of 477 ais of produce moved from the local station during the past season. While the lettuce and carrot indus try is comparatively new to this section. It is fast becoming a major industry. The entrance of the F. H. Hogue com pany here in the vegetable Industry has helped considerably to add to employ ment as well as a market for vegetables. The Idaho Equity Exchange and the Sewell Produce company have also been active marketing factors, and over 40 cars of lettuce have been shipped by these concerns during the past season. Next season Denny Hogue and asso ciates expect to farm nearly 700 acres of land in this section, principally to lettuce, carrots and early peas. This past season they grew approximately 550 acres and found this section so ideally adapted to these crops they have decided to increase their acreage for next year. The growing the past year has been under the supervision o f J. B. Daggett. The Hogue organization also have a soil specialist here, C. E. Beckwith of Tacoma, who has been testing the land to find that most adapted to vegetable growing. Several specialist were brought In for the harvest season to supervise a crew of employees that reached the 400 mark during the peak of the season. Paul Chllson of Sallnis California was put in ch arg e'o f the lettuce packing plant; Wayne Brand of Phoenix. Arizona had charge of the cutting and harvesting crews; and Jack Rogers, associated with the Hogue organization at Kent, Wash., was sent here to look after office super vision. The close of the lettuce season found a few fields still uncut, and In most cases sheep were turned In to clean up the fields, and the woolies so relish this dainty that they cleaned every sign of a lettuce plant. It was found that when an alfalfa field was adjacent, the sheep would make about three changes a day from lettuce to alfalfa and back again to lettuce, and are doing well on their unaccustomed feed. nt< resting hearing was held be- o County Court at Vale cn Wed- .
