Certainly persons who see the official army, navy
airforce and Newsreel pictures of the atom bomb tests
taken at Bikini atol in 1!J48 will be much more opposed
to war than ever before.
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.

Bloori Bank Unit
Will Be Brought
To Nyssa Apr. 13
The mobile unit of the American
Red Cross blood bank will pay a
visit to Ny.ssa April 13. and will be
located at the Methodist church.
In speaking of the blood bank.
Dr. Kenneth Kerby. local physician,
stated. " I n my estimation the blood
bank Is one of the most valuable
movements that was ever organized
to serve the people. It is impossible
to state the number of lives that
may be saved through this service,
but through the blood bank much
time of Inestimable value is saved
In emergency cases.”
Rev. Donald S. Campbell, serving
as local chairman, will be assisted
by members of the Nyssa Civic club.
Blood collected in Nyssa will defin
itely be used In this community. At
the present time the Ontario hos
pital is using all the blood that can
be collected In this area. The mo
bile unit visits all towns in the
Snake River valley. There Is no
charge to the patient for use of
blood, which is donated to the A -
tnerican Red Cross which in turn
donates it to patients as needed.
The only cost Is In the administra
tion of the blood to the patient.
Donors may make appointments
by calling Mrs. Houston Wilson, who
Is serving as recruitment chairman.
