The total amount to be raised by taxation during the coming year is $181,882.85 and the amount this ye ar was $171, 587.60, an increase of six per cent. The total amount of the budget this year, including mo ney received from sources other th an taxation, was $221,078.50. No increase was made in the ex penses of the county court. Items included in the budget are sheriffs office, $16,900; county clerk, $9550; assessor, $12,650; county treasurer, $2200, and school superintendent, $3230. The deputies in the sheriff’s, cl erk’s and assessor’s office were giv en increases in salaries. The county treasurer and school superintendent were given increases by the state legislature. The county fair appropriation amounted to $500, which is specified for buildings and repairs if the fair is not held. The fair board has on hand $1061 in addition to the $500 expected to be appropriated. An item of $335 was placed in the budget for cricket control. No money was appropriated for that purpose last year. A request of the county defense council for $200 was rejected, but the court pointed out that the em ergency fund can be used to take care of any needs that might arise in regard to the defense council..

The 17 calves in this shipment were brou ght by William R. Allbright, Clar ece Bolen, Amos Bontrager, A. E. Southard and E. O. Johnson. Local Residents Purchase Calves BILLY HAMILTON IS GIVEN AWARD The bawling of hungry little cal ves is getting to be a customary sound early every Wednesday morn ing these days a round Ontario’s Union Pacific depot, where they arrive on the early train from wes tern Oregon, nicely crated, two to a crate to be claimed by the purch asers in Malheur county. Formerly the future of hundreds of these calves from western Oreg- no herds was most uncertain, most of them being “knocked in the he ad” at birth, since feeding limitat ions there necessarily prohibited great Increase in the size of herds. Then the department of agricul ture stepped into the situation with its dairy cattle conservation prog ram to save those high-grade dairy calves for redistribution to other counties where feed is plentiful and where they can be raised to pro duction for the war effort. During the last few weeks when the calving season was at its height in the coast counties, hundreds of calves were bought by the farm security administration through the use of a revolving fund with the Commodity Credit corporation and shipped to hay surplus areas in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington to fill the pooled orders of farmers, 4-H club members, or Future Farm ers. To date 136 calves, guernseys, hol- stelns, and jerseys, have been de livered to Malheur county farmers. Orders for nearly 400 more are on hand at the local farm security ad ministration office, according to Ke nneth W. Dahl, county FSA sup ervisor, who is in charge of distrib ution here. However, since the fr eshening season is nearing its end, the weekly shipments, which have Included as many as 30 of the 10- day old calves, are dwindling and probably many orders will not be filled this spring. This week’s shipment of 10 calves went to Harold Hanson, William A. Klamroth, Harry D. McMillan, Emory J. McNinch, and George B. Zielke, farmers on the east bench west of Vale. Courtesy of Ontario Argus Adrian, May 20 (Special)—Billy Hamilton and not Jewell Wilson should have been listed among the Adrian students who were chosen “state farmers" at a recent meet ing of the Future Farmers of Am erica in Portland. The other two Adrian youths re ceiving the state farmer award were Gene Davis and James Shaw. John Johnson of Adrian, Lyman Patton of Baker and William Me Kinney of Pendleton were elected as memebrs of the state F.F.A. ad visory committee. Jewel Wilson, Adrian F.F.A. pres ident for the coming year, was an official delegate to the state con vention. However, he was not a candidate for the state farmer de gree. Glenn Strickland, vice presi dent, was the other official dele gate. Bill Moore and Joe Winslow of Ontario accompanied the Adrian residents to the convention. Labor Frozen In More Businesses Nyssa and vicinity will share in the distribution of labor from old Mexico to the extent of 50 workers, according to United States empl oyment service officials. The Mexicans will be housed in the Nyssa labor center, where a mess hall is now under construction to provide them with a place in which to eat. As a part of the 150,- 000 Imported in to the United St ates for lobar purposes as a result of a treaty signed between the Un ited States and Mexico, these lab orers will “just about solve the lab or situation here”, employment ser vice officials said. While the cold weather of a week ago set crops back to some extent, it is thought that if the weather remains fair and warm, there will be a great deal of labor needed soon, as beet thinning has just st arted and many fields have not been touched as yet. Then there are many fields of onions, lettuce and potatoes, and other farm crops, th at will need labor. Farmers needing help, now or within a short time, are asked to get in touch with the United St ates employment service at the new Nyssa camp. The phone number is 43-J. The employment officer will be at the office from 1 until 5 each afternoon this week, going to the Adrian camp in the morning. The addition of these Mexicans will make available about 250 farm workers in this vicinity as there are nearly 100 Japanese at the Adrian labor center. This 250 will not in clude the many who are already working steadily on farms or are working independently of the camps hwere no record can be kept of them. The 50 Jamaicans, who were or iginally scheduled to come to Nyssa. have been shifted to the Wilder camp. Officials made the change because the Jamaicans would have required a separate mess hall and with the arrival of the Mexicans the Jamaicans are needed more in the Idaho district. According to a colored nurse who accompanied the men on the trip from the British protectorate of Jamaica, 6000 were sent to this co untry on a ship Intended for 4000. For two days they were without food or water and were in rather a bad state hen they arrived here. The colored Oman said she didi not know who was at fault, but thought the trouble was due to a misunder standing. Locally-needed industries such as restaurants, laundries and hotels are included along with agricultural and industrial war production activities in the recently-an nounced statewide employment stabilization program of the war manpoyer commission, according to Eldon Cone, leal office manager of the United States employment ser vice for Ontario. “L.
