Wednesday, at a meeting of the Nyssa Chamber of Commerce, read an article appear ing In the Idaho Statesman to the effect that the route of the I-O-N highway would be designated from Weiser through Nyssa and Join the cutoff at Malloy’s ranch. The article was based on a letter from W. C. Markham of Washing ton, D. C., secretary of the Associa tion of State highway officials, sent to H. R. Flint, acting commissioner of public works for Idaho. The executive committee of the association, the letter said, had ap proved the extension of U. S. 95 from Weiser to a junction with U. S, 60 and U. S. 70. east of Blythe, Cal. Flint had recommended that U 8. 95 be extended through Pay ette and Homedale to the Junction west of Marsing and then over the I-O-N. The committee, however has rec ommended that It be routed through Ontario and Nyssa. Hits recommendation was made to the Federal Bureau of Public Roads, which usually follows the coroittees recommendations. In closing, the letter said. "This action of the committee, however, probably will expedite the com pletion of Oregon’s part of the I-O- N, which provides a short cut from southwestern Idaho to southwestern United States.

Rabbit Pest Is Worst In Years ASSISTANT AGENT ENUICOTT GIVES STRYCHNINE FORMULA The jack rabbit situation in Mal heur county is the worst it has been in several years according to H. J. Endlcott, assistant county agent. The extremely dry condition of the range areas has forced the rab bits to seek feed lower down and as a reslut they are concentrated in the sagebrush areas adjoining crop land and are doing considerable damage to crops. Many farmers have been poison ing the rabbits with strychnine and green alafafa. In all cases they are reporting very good results, states Endicott. Because the rab bits are quite concentrated, the farmers have an excellent oppor tunity to deplete the rabbit popula tion very materially by poisoning now. The following is the formula which should be used: One ounce of strychnine to 20 ponds of chopped green alfalfa. The alfalfa should be cut In about one Inch lengths. Thorough mixing of the strychnine and afalfa Is essential. Strychnine is available at drug stores in Nyssa. The assistant county agent has held three bait mixing demonstra tions in various parte of the county. Any group of farmers wishing such a demonstration should get In touch with the county agents' of fice. Bill Would Allow Payment On Crop Value (Special from Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D. C. July 13- Settlers on reclamation projects will receive a break under a bill which has passed the house and is now in the senate. The bill undertakes to solve the problem of repayments on federal reclamation projects in the 15 western states and discontinues the practice of having a morator ium declared whenever there is a bad year. There is a variety of contracts, due to policies prevailing at the dif ferent times when projects were undertaken, and the bill seeks to equalize them. It authorizes the secretary of the Interior to i ’vlse contracts and a sliding scale of pay ments is permitted based on the value of the crop, with payments when crop money Is available. It Is the opinion of western representa tives who worked on the bill that it will be a life saver for thousands of families on reclamation projects. This Is the most Important legis lation offered for reclamation set tlers In years and favorable consid eration Is expected in the senate If action can be had before adjourn ment. The senate sub-committee which had the bill under consideration since Its passage by the house, this week acted favorably on It and rec ommended its passage to the com mittee as a whole.
