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.

"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.

special payment to induce farm-
iers to harvest small low-yielding
fields that would not be harvested

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.
