The pictures, shown in Nyssa at a luncheon of the Lions club Monday, were not gruesome because all of the damage shown was to vessels and not human beings, but the terrific power, the awfulness and the destruc tive ability were manifest to such an extent that the men in the room appeared almost as tense and serious as the service personnel preparing for and conducting the ex periments, involving the fourth and fifth bombs. When 7f> per cent of a fleet is knocked out of commission with one bomb, certainly it takes no explosives genius to rea lize that the world could be destroyed in a short time. If the potential w ar lords could !>»• made to realize the futility of atomic warfare, perhaps, yes just perhaps, they could he influenced to change the courses of their governments. Of course, they probably think they will not have to suffer in case of war, but the ignominious conclusion of the lives of Hitler and Mussolini should serve as . 1 warning, to any present war-mongers.

Final Estimate On Agricultural Products Given Total of $28,397,000 Is Niiu* Per Cent l-esa Than In 1918 The final estimate of Malheur county's gross agricultural income for products grown or produced in 1949 was $28.397,000. according to figures released today by Harry Sandquist. county extension agent. This figure is *1.607.000 lower than the earlier estimate made last fall. The final estimate also shows a re duction o f about nine percent from the 1948 estimated Income. The estimate Is prepaied by the county extension agent from m ark eting Information received from handlers of agricultural products In the area. The total figure repre sents the value of all agricultural products grown and produced whether they were sold or used at home M ajor changes from the early estimate shows changes in the in come from row crops such as potatoes, onions and lettuce. The estimated income from the coun ty’s onion crop was reduced approx imately $376.000 from the early estimate of *2,625.000. This reduct ion came as a result of lower prices for onions that were stored for late shipment. The income from the county's 11.000-acre potato crop was reduced to $2,640.000 or nearly one-half million dollars less than the early estimate. Slightly lower yields and failure of the price to strengthen during the winter months caused this reduction. Early frosts shortened the marketing sea son and growers received approxi mately $200.000 less for their 1949 lettuce crop than was estimated earlier. The leading producer of Income for the county is livestock, with an estimated total of $7.000.000 This Includes all income from cattle, sheep, and hogs, and is one-half million dollars lower than the aver age estimate. This reduction came as a result of lower prices received for sale of meat animals and a fail ure of the market to strengthen until after the first of the year. Malheur County's estimated 15.000 dairy cows produced a gross income of three and one-half million dol lars. This includes the sale of all milk and milk products as well as returns received from sale of sur plus dairy animals. Income from sugar beets esti mated at three and one-half million dollars was the highest of any of the cosh crops. Growers produced more than 21 tons of beets per acre on an estimated 15.000 acres grown in the count. This is the highest average yield per acre record for the county. More farm land was used to grow alfalfa hay than any other one crop The 1949 season was considered a good hay year and the 48,000 acres of alfalfa produced slightly less than 200.000 tons of hay The total value of the hay was estimated at $4.250.000 However, most of this is fed on the farms and not sold The income from red clover seed totaled $450 000 and showed an In crease of $50.000 of the earliest esti mate. This increase came as a re sult o f higher yield per acre as growers reported an average of 250 pounds of clean seed per acre.
