N Y S S A NEEDS R E C R E A T IO N A L FACILITIES Nyssa’ need for a swimming pool and other outdoor recreational facilities has attracted the interest o f the women o f the community, giving hope that some program can be developed. The women have asked the city and other organized groups to assist in the project and have received sympathetic response. However, little can probably be done this year in the wa. of construction, but the groundwork can b< laid for actual development of the project nex year. A program o f supervised play for the young er children of the city could be effective the remainder o f the summer, if the project wert started immediately. Women experienced ir such supervision are available in Nyssa. The Nyssa city park is developing into a beautiful spot, and could be made into a re creational center. A swimming pool large • ough to accommodate a considerable popula tion during the hot summer months and two or throe tennis courts should be constructed at the park. In addition, more tables and benche for family picnics and other gatherings woul be very desirable. Probably the city and perhaps the schoc district will be called upon to finance the con struction o f a swimming pool and other major recreational facilities. Construction will most likely have to be financed by special financing because o f the amount of money involved. The project could be financed along with the pro posed improvement o f the city’s streets and water system. ii— MR.

G R E A TE R A L F A L F A A C R E A G E IS ASK ED "Acreage of alfalfa In Oregon has been reduced In recent years be cause we haven't had enough seed of adapted strains," said Harry Sandqulst. county agent, today. He said that this has not only been true locally, but nationally. The U. S. department of agriculture is asking growers In all of the north ern states to Increase production 89 per cent over last year. Alfalfa seed yields have In the past been very spotted and un dependable due on the one hand to lack of pollenlztng Insects and on the other hand to the presence of harmful Insects. In this county the lygus bug is a small insect that sucks the juice from the flowers, leaves and stems of alfalfa and prevents seed from setting. Plans are underway to treat some acreage In the county with DDT to control this insect that is alone responsible for completely destroying the seed crop on many fields. "W e haven't so much control over the beneficial wild insects," Fandquist said. "They nest In un- | plowed land, such as sagebrush flats, steep creek banks, sides of ' canyons and other places where vegetation is scanty. Alfalfa, there- , fore, usually yields more seed If it has unplowed land on one or more sides of the field. "T h e government is asking a special payment to induce farm- iers to harvest small low-yielding fields that would not be harvested otherwise. Details of this plan are available at the local P. M.

Growth of Cities Shewn in Area Our Ice Cream Topped With T H U R S D A Y , J U L Y 18, 1946 N o w h e r e does e le c tric ity mean more in labor-saving, convenience and comfort than on the farm and in the farm home. Here in Snake River Valley farm people are accustomed to having and using lots of electricity— more than 90 per cent of all farms in the area served by Idaho Power Company are electrified. When you drive along the country roads, notice the miles of electric distribution line— you’ll have a hard time finding farms without electricity. Farm electrification benefits coun try people and town people alike— the things contributing to prosperity and welfare on the farm reflect in better business for towns and trading centers. Idaho Power is proud of its part in this program of making Snake River Valley a better place to live— a better place to farm— a better place to do business. Just now, Idaho Power Company is engaged in completing its job of farm electrification as rapidly as materials and man - power can be provided. Approximately 1,000 miles of line are scheduled for early construction to serve the more remote parts of our service area. Some of the farm lines we are building are nearly a hundred miles away from any town of more than 200 population. _____ Idaho Power is a Leader in Farm Electrification Res.
