• •• The NYSSA VOLUME XXXXVII NO. 22 Sugar Beet Crop Reported Best In Several Seasons The area's sugar beet crop looks exceptionally good this year with til.lining completed and the first blocking expected to be finished this week, Jed Lewis, manager of the Amalgamated Sugar Co., announced. He reported that favorable growing conditions had made the crop more advanced in growth and more uni form than any for several years. Although the acreage is about 20 percent oelow normal, all indications point to a mucn greater tonnage per acre than in previous years and it is expected that overall production will partially fill the gay caused bv fewer planted acres. Lewis stated that it is too early to make any estimates on ihe amount of beets that will be produced in this area. Because of an "unusual" season brought about by a late spring and sudden warm days, the demand for beet workers a few week' ago hit a peak for approximately three days, but all fields were taken care of by an adequate supply of workers, Lew is said. The number of workers now in this area is sufficient to take care of all needs for this season, the manager reported. U.

Thursday evening of last week smoke rolling from the Waggoner Motor Co. garage prompted some unknown person to turn in an alarm. The -moke was from a car mechan ics were “ cleaning” with special equipment. Sunday a Texas licensed car was being driven on the streets with its emergency brakes applied to cause smoke to emerge from the brake drums. The mistake was called to the driver's attention before the de partment arrived. Ted Morgan turned in an alarm Tuesday evening about 10:40 when he saw fire coming from a car near Carl's Doll House Firemen reported that gas had been leaking from the carbureator and had burst into flames. That fire was put out be fore the firemen arrived. City councilmen, who were in ses sion Tuesday evening and adjourned shortly before the alarm sounded, reported that the fire truck was on its way "in a matter of seconds” af ter the siren issued its first wail. One council member stated that the promptness was almost unbelievable. Alleged Forger Is Arrested In Nyssa Charles R.

Attending from Nyssa were Dale Garrison. Lewis Herriman and Henry Hartley, who told business men and farmers from throughout the coun.y that the Nyssa Chamber had en dorsed the proposal to bring the county tax up for vote again at the November general election.
