At 8 p. m„ following the elcsing cf the pal's far the election a bud get meeting of the district will be held for the purpose of discussing ttrn but'i;et for the comming year, which begins July 1, and to vote up:a the prep-sition of a district fa-' cf $11 400 27 an increase of $119 over last year's budget. • • Retail Milk Price To Advance July 1 » ! • Prices on retail milk and cream, delivered to consumers in Nyssa will advance July 1. according to a joint am -unerment of Rock Shelton and Herbert Fisher, owners cf the Shel ton Dairy ond the Gate City Dairy respectively Boginning July 1, the price of de livered milk in Nvssa will be 11 cents per quart and pints six cents. Prices on cream will be quarts 55 cents, pints 30 cents and '4 pints 17 cents. Questioned as to the reason for the raise in prices, both owners said that the cost of eperations of a dairy had materially advanced during the p iri vear Items such as dairymens supplies, cows and even hay prices had advanced, they said making it necessary if their dairies were to continue to operate up to the stand ard set by state regulations. Shelton said that last year at this time dairy cows could be bought for from $65 to $75 and that at the pres ent time a dairy cow sells for from $85 to $100 and in some cases $125. Fisher said that producers are now being paid 45 cents per pound of butter fat and that as their (the pro ducers) cost was like wise rising it would be but a verv sho-t r-m<- until they would have to get a 1C cent raise cn each pound of butter fat. Hay prices are on the raise too. the two dairy owners said, current prices running around $6.50 per ton as compared with four to five dollars last year. In June of last year the local dairymen voluntarily lowered the prices on milk and cream. On INC STARTS ON LYTLE BOULEVARD (By Mrs. L. E. NEWC.EN) Sunset Valley (Special) Worki was begun last week on the contract of the oiling of Lytle Boule vard which connects Vale and vicin ity to the Nyssa-Adrian Highway, coming in at the Corner Grocery owned by J. L. Langton, 8 miles southwest of Nyssa. The first construction to begin was that of the bridge-building crew under the supervision of Henry Horn who has a sub-contract from Mr. Merrazzo, the general contractor. Mr. Horn took advantage of the low water in the Owyhee canal be tween Owyhee School house and the hlghwayto build the concrete piers for the bridges in that vicinity. There will be detours at these places for a month or six weeks while the bridges are being finished. According to Mr. Horn the entire job will take about three months for completion and will connect Vale with the I O N cut-off. It will also be of benefit to many new land far mers with a better road to Nyssa where most of them do their weekly shopping. Plans To Finance Farm Under Way Plans were put in motion Tuesday night in Ontario by a group of busi ness men and farmers to finance he purchase of farm land for the ounty experimental station. Frank T Morgan, Nyssa. chairman if the county farm committee, ap- xvinted a committee of seven to vork out detailed plans for the fln- incing. Those appointed were: leonge Aikjen, Ontario publisher; lobert Lees. Ontario attorney; State Venator, J. E. Jones; John Medlin, /ale; Martin Osborne and L. P. rhom.as, Nyssa; and Maurice L. ludd, Newell Heights farmer. Mor ían, H. F. Logue, secretary of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Jax S. Taggart, county district at- orney are ex-cfficio members and vill be present at a meeting of the ommittee to be held at the city lall in Ontario Saturday, June 21, it 2 p. ir_. Judge Graham told the 20 odd nembers attending that the county ins no r.'~r>“y budeeted for the pur chase of the farm, the operation f r vl Ich the 'to te legislature has al- •eady apprrprlnted $19.500. None of his sum can be usrd for the pur- 'has? of land for th-' experimental irea. It is variously estimated that he purchase of the land will be ibout $8,000. Here is a highlight of the prob- em —the county cannot borrow the coney for the purchase, nor can it ell bonds for the purpose. Even if in attempt is made to put the am- >unt in the budget for next year, he six percent limitation increase vould not take care of that amount, k special election wculd cost the ■ounty an additional $1.800. and this dea was not looked upon favorably by the group. The proposition •otild be put on the ballot at the ■lection in November 1942, but this .vould hardly give the O. A. C. Ex- ension Service time to purchase the lecessary equipment and get th“ "»rm under way before the appro priation would revert to the general fund. It will be the werk of the com mittee appointed to find some means -f getting possession of the necess ary 80 acres so that the Extension Service can proceed with the equipp ing and operation of the farm. Sub scriptions from industrial and busl- nescs firms, farm organizations and individuals is one plan that has been advanced and may be discussed, among ethers at the meeting Sat urday. Members of Oregon Trail Grane- and non-member farmers are urge-' to attend the meeting of the Gran? to be held on next Tuesday, June 24 at which noxious weed indentifina tion contest will be held, the winner to receive a prize.

Members and visitors are invited and urged to bring any weed that they cannot identify to the meeting so that it may be identified for the purpose of eventual eradication. This portion of the meeting will begin about 10 p. m. according to those in charge of the program.
