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. Such is the an
nouncement of Mrs. G. Stam, lec
turer and C. C. Wyckoff who have
jcint charge of the program.
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.
Frank Sherwood, Overseer, will
act as Master of the Grange in the
place of FYank Parr who is attending
the State Grange.
A representative from County Ag
ent McKennon's office will be pres
ent at the meeting, according to Wy
ckoff.
