Something new in entertainment
for this area is being brought to
Nyssa by the Riding club which h.is
announced a series of jalopy and
hot-rod races, starting next Wednes
day evening.
It was announced that 20 cars and
drivers will be entered in the races
at the Nyssa rodeo grounds. The
trial runs will start as 8 o’clock to
classify the cars and drivers into
groups of six for the final events.
Among local boys expected to par
ticipate with their jalopies are Don
and Elbert Hatch of Adrian and
several are coming from the Boise
valley.
One of the riding club membeis
commented that the organized races
will allow the hot-rodders to “race
to their heart’s content” under su
pervision and according to rules.
Proceeds from the sponsored shows
will be used for improvements at the
rodeo grounds and on the race track.

day and still have an opportunity
to see and learn about those things
in which they are interested. Station
workers, including some specialists
from Oregon State College, will be
stationed at the various plots
throughout the day to explain the
work. All plots will be well marked
and labeled.
Evening visitors will be welcome,
however there will not be as many
station persennel available to ex
plain the work as during the day.
Visitors will be able to see varietal
testing of wheat, oats, barley, field
corn, potatoes, alfalfa, grass, fruits
and berries. A part of a large pro
gram of fertilizer testing is on the
station and may be seen. A major
amount of the fertilizer work is done
on off-station cooperating farms.
Other work includes corn spacing
trials. Chemical weed control in
beets and potato disease plots. A
special interest project are tests with
the new soil conditioner. Krilium.

Added To Rodeo

Several new features for Nyssa s
sixth annual rodeo, which opens
here three weeks from today, have
been announced by Lynn Snodgrass,
president of the Rodeo association.
Details of some of the features were
given to Snodgrass Tuesday nignt
in a long-distance telephone con
versation with Harley Tucker, pro
ducer of the show.
Services of one of the leading an
nouncers on rodeo circuits has been
secured for this year, Tucker told
the association president. Hobert
Norman of El Paso, Texas, will liven
the events with his detailed explan-
tion of all activities as they occur.
Norman has already appeared this
season at shows in Chicago, St. Paul
and Fort Worth.
Wes Curtis of Santiago, Calif, and
his mule, Porky, will provide addi
tional entertainment, and is rated
as one of the outstanding clowns to
perform in this part of the country.
In addition to his antics, which
Snodgrass assures the public is free
of questionable jokes, the clown is a
cartoonist who adds to the fun by
drawing pictures of individuals, and
a bull-fighter who performs amusing
antics and keeps Tucker’s Brahmas
in line.
Another specialty act is that of
Carron Hansen, a little girl who per
forms acrobatic feats featured here
for the first time.
Added to Tucker’s rodeo string
this year are some new bucking
horses and bulldog steers. Cowboy
ropers last year found two or three
calves that surprised them with their
speed and agility, and this year sev
eral more of these cross-bred calves

Both cowboys and rodeo fans are

several new and “inexperienced”
bulls have been added. Famous
horses back again this year will be
'Nobody’s Darling,' ’Old Big Three,’
and ’Gold Digger.’ ’Tip Off’ is a new
buckskin that has never been ridden
on any of Tucker’s circuits. “Old
Freckles” is a bucking Brahma bull
and "Blue Bell Wrangler” is a Brah
ma bull that is reported to be so
rough he has never been ridden at
any horse show.
Jack Percifield of Wickenberg,
Ariz. and Ike Fernandez of Pueblo,
Colo., are well-known cowboys who
will participate in the events and
serve as pick-up men. Fernandex
