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

1-0 Ball League Opens
Sunday; Vale Plays Nyssa
The Idaho-Oregon baseball league
season opens Sunday, with games at
the following towns at Nyssa, Vale;
at Caldwell, Ontario; at Boise,
Nampa; at Payette, Weiser.
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
