Larson, district sup erintendent of Amalgamated Sugar company operations in the Nyssa- Nampa area, announced that a 50 cent a ton payment on 1942 beets totalling about $235,000 in the area, was made Mjrch 15. Payments in the Twin Falls-Burley-Rupert dis trict will amount to $190,000. This will bring the company's 1942 beet payments to $6.50. In addition, the 1942 growers will receive $2.25 a ton in federal bene fits and the company will pay the remainder due on its contract, not known exactly at this time, June 15 and Oct.l. It is understood that the total will amount to about $9,50 a ton. Under the new contract, just agr eed upon by the company and the growers' association, the price of the 1943 crop will be slightly more than $11 per tons for beets with an average sugar content of 16.5 per cent. The principal change this year will be an increase of $1.50 a ton in the federal payment. Field men of the Amalgamated company were called together at the Nampa plant for an explanation of the new contract, which has just been printed here. They were to commence calling on farmers in the area last week. The group was told by Superin tendent Larson to try for an In crease of 5000 acres, or a contract signup of 35,000. Larson pointed to the need for sugar, and urged that growers pro tect their right to grow beets after the war when the allotment plan Is likely to be restored by building up a record of high beet production, upon which post-war allotments will presumably be made. Navy Program Announced Here A navy V program for boys 17 to 20 years of age who have completed or are completing their high school work has been announced by sch ool officials. The group praticipat- lng Includes boys now attending high school and those who have graduated. Applicants will be given a mental examination April 2 at 9 a.m. in the high school building. Those who pass will appear for a medical ex amination at Portland July 1. during which time they will be placed on inactive status. If medical examinations are pas sed, the applicants are placed on active duty, receiving pay of an ap prentice seaman at $50 a month. Youths training to be chaplains or medical officers will attend col lege for twelve 16-week terms; en gineering specialists eight 16-week terms; deck or marine line officers for four 16-week terms and aviators for two 18-week periods. Boys desiring to participate in the program should call at the high school building Immediately for ap plication blanks, which must be fil led out before the youths can take the examination.
