State Head Of
Dairy Breeders
Speaks In Nyssa
¿Cfcvo Directors of Malheur
Group, Hunter and Vest
Re-elected
T h e president of the Oregon Dairy
Breeders association, Henry Hagg of
Washington county, Oregon, declar­
ed at the first annual meeting of
* the Malheur County Dairy Breeders
association in the parish hall M on­
day afternoon that dairying lacks
glamour and romance, but is de­
pendable.
Mr. Hagg pointed out that "the
day may come when cash crops will
not be harvested because of low
prices, and then the man -with a
dairy herd will be fortunate. The
business and professional people
have a stake in this thing too".
Mr. Hagg stated that the ar­
tificial insemination program is not
more than 10 years old. He added
that "W e had to find some way
to have a high level of butterfat
production. W e have a small per­
centage o<f our people in agricultu­
ral pursuits and as a result we had
to increase our man-power poten­
tial to take care o f the labor situa­
tion. Through this method we hope
to eliminate some of the hazards
of the old method of bleeding cat­
tle, including the spread of disease.
T h e program gives the individual
dairyman the benefit of good bulls
and eliminates the hazard of handl­
ing the animals on the farm ” .
Pointing out that the county now
ha= over 13 000 cows, Mr. Hagg
quoted Roger Morse, extension dairy
specialist, as saying that Malheur
county will become the most im-
portnt dairy countv in Oregon.
Roy. e Roberts, technician for the
Malheur association, talked on de­
tails of the pogram. He reported
increased interest and increased ser­
vice in January over December. The
association started operations Aug­
ust 1. 1947.
L. C. Brandt, technician for the
Oregon association, answered ques­
tions.
George Bain of the county agent's
staff showed a motion picture on
•How M ilk Is M ade” .
County Agent Harry SandquLst
su-J ‘It may be tough sledding for
a time, but I think this program
will do more for dairying in M al­
heur county than anything else
we could do. In our type o f county,
where we have small herds, I think
it can greatly benefit the industry” .
Th e program was started in the
area between Ontario and Adrian
because of the greater cow popula­
tion, but it will be expanded to
other sections o f the county as soon
as the local unit is operating satis­
factorily.
Rosel Hunter of Nyssa. who pre­
sided at the meeting, was one of
the directors whose terms expired
this month. Mr. Hunter and Gro­
ver Vest of Nyssa were unanimously
re-elected as directors. T h e board
of directors will elect officers later.

H. P. W illiamson o f the public
relations department of Pacific Sup­

portance o f the co-operative in a
community and how the members

The Bulldogs made a good show­

that was the biggest margin they
established in the two contests.

man.
In the Adrian game, Nyssa led
all of the way until the last few
minutes of play. The Bulldogs forg­
ed ahead 10 points in the first
half, but the Antelopes caught up.
In the last half Nyssa gained a
lead and Adrian cancelled the mar­
gin and went ahead five points with
three minutes to play. The scores
by quarters were 17 to 11 at the
end o f the quarter, 22 to 21 a t h a lf­
time and 30 to 27 at three-quarter
time.

Talk At Luncheons
This Week
Qualifications for persons eligible
to vote in the school district bond
election to be held in the elemen­
tary building next Monday were
discussed at luncheons of the Nys­
sa Lions club and chamber of com ­
merce this week.
Superintendent Henry Hartley said
at the chamber of commerce meet
ing that a voter must be a citizen
of the state, 21 years of age and a
resident of the district for 30 days.
He must be the owner o f real or
personal property as shown by the
last assessment, or he must own
stock or shares, or claim owner­
ship in a corporation, firm or co­
partnership having taxable property
in the district.
R. G. Whitaker told members of
the Lions club that two of the most
important points in the proposal are
that the $350.000 indebtedness could
be amortized over a period o f 20
years at five mills without increas­
ing the present tax levy and that
the enabling act by which the dis­
trict could raise that much money
will expire next year. T h e five per
cent special levy that taxpayers
are now carrying will be paid o ff
next year so that a new bond levy
would merely replace the special
'.evy. The state enabling act permits
school districts to bond up to 10
per cent of their assessed valua­
tion, but normally a district can
bond for only five per cent. The
latter figure would permit the Nys­
sa district to raise only $130,000 to
$140,000, which would not be en­
ough to provide the distriot with
proper school facilities, Whitaker
said, in face of the fact that the
school population is growing so
rapidly.
Unless the additional building is
provided, tlie district will not be
a standard district and will there­
fore not be eligible to receive its
share of the state school support
fund, estimated at $100,000 a year,
Mr. Whitaker said.
The polls will be open from 2
pm. to 7 p.m.
Nyssa Residents
Visit In Mexico
Mr. and Mrs. Vibert Kesler and
Mr. and Mrs. Sherman P. Bybee re­
turned Wednesday from their va­
cation trip o f 7000 miles into 11
states and Mexico.
The visitors said it makes one
appreciate the numerous modern
inventions he enjoys in the United
States after visiting a place where
the women carry waiter in huge
pottery vases on their heads, many
also carry babies on their backs,
farm work is done toy ox teams and
hay is harvested with sickles. In ­
stead of having a white bakery
truck fordelivery of fancy pasterles,
a boy stacks breads, cookies and
other pastries as high as possible
on a flat woven basket, swings it
onto his head, mounts a bicycle
and peddles away to the street,
where he will sell his wares.'
The foursome, viewing many acres
of bananas and sugar cane, had the
privilege of visiting 12 magnificent
cathedrals and many factories where
workers made by hand such ar­
ticles as silver table service, leather
goods, pottery, lamps, book-ends and
statues A t a glass factory, the Nys­
sa women were presented with a
lovely glass morning-glory, blown
especially for them by one of the
workers. They visited the famous
floating gardens, and were serenad­
ed by the floating minstrels.
The visitors were entertained with
a six-course dinner at the home of
Mrs. Elizabeth Marchaln, mother
f a former employe on the Bybee
farms at N^ssa. When the boy.
Augustine, was employed by the
Bybee brothers he gave them an in­
vitation to visit him i f they were
ever in Mexico.
The Nyssa residents stopped in
Los Angeles en route to Mexico to
visit another sister. They also vis­
ited Ray Bybee at the University
of Utah and Dr. Joe Kesler and Ray
Ooodfellow and their families in
Salt Lake City.
