County Agent On Weed Tour NORTHERN LIMITS OF COUNTY WORKED AS CONTROL AREA County Agent McKennon, last week made a survey of the Snake river islands between Homedale and Weiser in connection with his work as county weed inspector. McKennon said that he found the islands upstream from Nyssa in fected to some degree with white top weeds. A control area that is being work ed intensively this year is that from the northern limits of the county to the pumping station in Dead Ox Flat. Of the 178 farms under control two small ones will probably have to be taken over by the county. A tractor is being kept busy clean cultivating areas on faims in the district. This clean cultivation is proving successful, takes about two years and costs the farmers about 50 cents per acre per cleaning or for the two year period about $15 an acre, according to Mc Kennon. Morning glory is the most preval ent noxious weed in the county, with white top, nap weed and rus- sian thistle showing signs of in creasing to alarming stages. McKennon. it is understood, has made a recommendation that the Biological Survey declare the islands in the Snake rived, bird refuges, which would place the responsibility of cleaning out noxious weeds from the islands with that body. This has the support of George K. Aiken, game commissioner, it is claimed. Fanners were urged to co-operate with the county court in the era dication of noxious weeds by noti fying them of any patches of weeds that may appear on farm lands. Pamphlets on the subject of noxious weeds have been prepared by the Oregon State college and may be obtained from the county agent, whose offices are in Ontario. Baby Boy— A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ora Price on May 13 with Dr. J. J Sarazin in attendance. Advertised Goods Pay— There are some in the community now that are convinced more than ever that it really does pay to buy advertised goods, for among the Grab Boxes advertised by the Adkeson store last Thursday, ten of them held a fifty cent piece. Among the ten lucky winners of the money were Bonita Post, Adolph Domin guez. Bill Jones, Mrs. V. Meacham. Mrs. Tuttle and Doris Miller.

The local squad will go on the diamond this year under the man agement of John Young. The pitch ing staff is still an unknown quan tity, with, practically all of last years pitchers signed up with other teams. A new comer on the team is Ray Graham, high school pitcher that has built up an enviable reputation for himself this year. It is to him that all eyes will be turned in the coming season, to see if he can carry on the fine pitching that he has done while in school. Other high school lads joining the Nyssa team are H. Holmes, Dud Mausling, and Oren Ensmlnger. Ensminger plays short stop position, Mausling 1st base and Holmes catcher. Holmes In the championship game last week, demonstrated that he has a strong arm, and is dynamite to runners trying to steal second and those who lead off too far from first. George Johnston will be in his old birth at 3rd, while Red McCrady will be in the lineup at 2nd. Roy Hashitani is also in this years line up and will in all probability be holding doing his fielding position. Others on the squad will be Max Schweizer, George Eichnor, Wiley Clowers, Clyde Jensen, Prank Du pree, Bob Shaw and perhaps the veteran pitcher, Frank Rambaud. A practice session will be held Friday night at the high school field beginning at 6 p. m., at which time a general idea of the opening lineup will be formulated by the manager. Repairing of the roof on the grandstand that was blown off , earlier this spring, is now under way and it is expected that it will be completed in time of the game ; Sunday. - » v Top Row ifrom left) Cottle, Maus ling.
