T h e beet harvest in the Nyssa-
Nampa district o f the Am algamat
ed Sugar company had been pract
ically completed Tuesday of this
week, with one to two per cent of
the beets remaining in the ground.
District Manager R. O. Larson ol
the sugar company said. Harvest
of the remaining beets will un
doubtedly be completed next week
The total number o f tons har
vested is nearing the one million
mark in the Nyssa-Nampa district,
which is somewhat less than the
tonnage o f last year, when the rec
ord for the district was established
The processing period at the fact
ory in Nyssa will be approximately
the same as last year, as no beet?
will be shipped to other factories
from this area.
Mr. Larson said the quality of
the beets is good so far but no def
inite statement can be m ade as the
factory ‘•campaign’’ is only about
one-third finished.

revealed a population in the dis
trict of 2014 children between the
ages of four and 19, inclusive. The
figures, completed by Grant Rine
hart. were released by Superintend
ent Henry H. Hartley.
The figures show an Increase In
population in that age group of
277. They include the names of
1074 boys and 940 girls. The num
ber Includes 1118 in the eight up
per grades and 899 in the lower
eight grades and the pre-school
group. The school population In
1939 totaled 768, so that the present
figure shows a gain of 1246 in 10

the population falls in the 4-19
group. That would mean an in
crease of between 900 and 1000
persons in the population of the
Nyssa school district in the* last
year.
