Nyssa lost a 12-0 battle to the Vale Pirates at Vale yestreday aft ernoon. Interception of Nyssa's passes opened the way to bo~i Vale scores. The Bulldogs started by taking the ball on their own 35 yard line alter Vale's kick went out of bounds. Play in the first period was in both Vale and Nyssa territory. After Vale had been forced to kick from near their goal line, a Nyssa lineman broke through and blocked the kick on the Vale 6 yard line. Ray Gra ham recovered. A clipping penalty ended Nyssa's first scoring threat. The locals second chance came late in the second quarter. A series of passes from H. Holmes to Gra ham and Graham to Holmes follow ed by the two first downs from scrimmage by Stanley Ray carried the ball again to the 6 yard line. Line plays carried the ball to the one-yard line where it was lost as the half ended. Vales first score was made late In the third quarter following inter ception of a pass in midfield and two 15 yard penalties on the Nyssa team.

Sugar Acreage Allotment Rapped NATIONAL RECLAMATION ASSN. PROTESTS SENT TO PRESIDENT The National Reclamation asso ciation. meeting in Reno, last week went on record as opposed to the recent acreage allotment for sugar beets, especially as it applied to the western states, according to word from Frank T. Morgan, president of the Oregon Reclamation Associa tion. Morgan and E. C. Van Petten, of Ontario Jointly submitted the resolution opposing the allotment. Copies of the resolution were sent not only to President Roosevelt, but to every member of congress from the western states, of which there were fifteen represented by dele gates. Gathered at the convention were about 650 delegates, the largest attendance yet at any of the asso ciation conventions. According to Morgan two other resolutions, of the eighteen passed, were outstanding. One has to do with the construction repayment by settlers on Irrigation project lands. The method recommended was that of a 5% crop repayment. This plan would allow the farmer to make his construction cost payments on a basis of an average, for the indiv idual project of 5% per acre of the total crop production return for the the previous year. Which would mean that if crops were good one year, the farmer would be expected to pay more toward the construc tion cost than in a year when crops would be below the average. The Federal Land Bank, according to Morgan, would be willing under the 5% construction repsyemnt plan, to make loans to farmers on irrigated projects, something that at the pre sent time the bank is reluctant to do. Of equal Importance to the for going resolution is another that would allow the use of C C C labor In the ! eradication of noxious weeds. At the present time the three C’a cannot be used on private lands and if this resolution is favorably acted upon It will help to solve a prob lem. that each year becomes more and ciifikult U handle.

HIGHT BUYS REGISTERED BULL CALF GUERNSEY NYSSA HEIGHTS FARMER ADDS TO ALREADY NOTED HERD NYSSA HEIGHTS-H. E. Hight recently purchased "Deekes Butter Boy" a fine registered Guernsey bull calf 5 months old. This is the third herd bull obtained of Chas. Pritze of New Plymouth. Three years ago H. E. Hight purchased “Chocona Cyrees” the aged herd bull of Presdale farm. Two years ago he was awarded “Corporal of Presdale” at the On tario fair for having the best Guer nsey in Malheur county. A few week ago Mr. Hight sold Corporal to B. E. Cozier of 8t. An thony. Mr. Cozier with a party of men including the county agent of St. Anthony traveled over 1500 miles looking for a Guernsey bull. It is believed that Corporal brought the highest price of any bull that was ever sold in Malheur county. Corporal was a great grandson of "Lonwaters Eastern King" a bull which sold for $35,000 the highest price ever paid for a Ouernsey bull. Mr. Height will be milking 13 cows by Jan. 1 everyone has been raised by the Hight family. The old foundation cows were bought in Tillamoock as baby calves and truck ed in by the Hights seven years ago last May of the five calves trucked in to Malheur county three are still in the herd. Up until this year Mr. Hight has never offered for sale any of his choice cows, but they got an extra good crop of heifer calves last year which were sired by Cor poral thus giving the public the privilege of getting a few of their good calves. The butcher gets few veal calves at the Hights as every well marked baby bull calf has been sold for breeding the passed several years. I*st year the Hight family mov ed to their homestead 4t4 miles northwest of Nyssa having formerly lived in Big Bend. Mr. Hight says that dairying in Malheur county is much easier than along the coast. The hay raised in Malheur county is much superior to hay raised in coastal sections of Oregon having one third more food value and In some cases a half more food value. There Is much more trouble with disease in the low wet altitude of coastal sections than here. This sec tion of Oregon is a cows paradise but It certainly lacks In cows bred for high production.

Final Payment; O n 1937 Beet Crop LAST PAYMENT BRINGS TONNAGE PAYMENT TO $7.075 Beet growers being served by the Amalgamated Sugar company in the eastern Oregon and western Idaho territory will receive on Oc tober 20, final payment for the 1937 beet crop. This payment amounts to $.24494 per ton of beets and will total slightly less than $22,- 000. Coupled with this payment the beet growers shall have received for last year’s crop $7 075 per ton of beets. The Sugar company made an Initial payment last November of $5.00 and the government made a payment this summer of $1.83 from funds collected out of a sugar pro cessing tax. The new plant in Nyssa is now grinding 1938 beets and in the first week of operation has performed very satisfactorily. On the best day it has sliced 2200 tons. It is expect ed that as operation continues the daily cut shall materially exceed that figure. Beet harvest, although somewhat enhanced by the storm of the past weekend, is now rapidly approach ing peak deliveries, which when attained should be maintained for at least three weeks. Deliveries are being made at 20 different points ♦brough the district and at nine of these points beets are being receiv ed in storage piles from which they will be removed as the factory de mands. Exceptionally good yields are being made throughout the dis trict with several crops, already har vested. being reported well In excess of 18 tons to the acre.

I GRADES APPLE VALLEY—The rain Fri day and Saturday stopped the haul ing of onions to storage. Onions had been steadily moving into storage in the packing house and air stor age at Apple Valley. Every avail able place will be packed with boxes or sacks of onions. In the packing house proper, the onions are In boxes stacked nine high. Box and onions weighing on an average of SO pounds, where the onions are sacked In the field, they are stored in racks five high. This method is used in the air storage. A dry stor age with good ventilation and a uniformly cool temperature seems essential to keeping onions at their best. Some wonderful yields are re ported and exceptionally large on ions are being packed out in United States No. 1 grade. About 50 acres of onions were raised in this neigh borhood this year. Besides these, other onion growers are storing their crop at the Apple Valley stor age. Vertrees and Norlands and Otanls cut lettuce Monday: several smaller fields will be cut this week.
