For Thursday and Friday classes, the instructors in Nyssa would go to Baker and those in Baker would come to Nyssa. Mr Hartley, who has explained the college proposal on several oc casions In order to receive public reaction, said the classes would be held in the late afternoon and even ing so that the local high school facilities could be used with very little cost to the district.

Nyssa Defeats Homedale Nine 60,000 Acres Of Beets Signed In Local District GOVERNMENT CALLING FOR BIDS ON POST OFFICE RENTAL Proposals To Bt* Receiv- Aurea«»«* Increases More Diven Ami Siiit«*r u«l Up To May 1; 1800 Win Slat«* Honors Than 4 0 Per Gent S«|. F«*et Wanted At FFA Convention Over 1949 Figure Sugar beet acreage signed up in the Nyssa-Nampa district for the 1950 season totaled approximately 60,000 acres today, according to Jed Lewis, district manager of the Amal gamated Sugar company.

Mr. Lewis estimates that the comp any will contract another 200 or 300 acres within the next two weeks. Many farmers have started plant ing their beets for the season, which Is expected to be a good one. Mr. Lewis said he had never seen a more favorable spring for the growing of sugar beets. Although the planting is from a week to 10 days behind the customary schedule, thinning is expected to be started as soon as usual if weather conditions are satisfactory. Moisture conditions are favorable and seed beds are work ing down nicely.
