Lettuce Harvest
Underway; Good
P i _co Expected
One >f the Nyssa area's last pro­
duce crops started to market this
week with the shipment of the first
fall lettuce Irom the J. C. Watson
Produce Co. Other local produce
houses are t spot ted to be underway
this week ta help take care .f ap­
proximately 1000 acres in the Nyssa
and south Ontario area.
Although tne market is expected
to bring good returns this year,
this week's activities were some­
what .ijymieci with peak shipments
of Calif rma lettuce to all market
One local dealer predicted th it
growers would realize approximately
$. 00 a c;
net this jri ur and that
the average production is expected
to be about 250 crates. Some fields
are reported to have yields as high
a :tM oiate ■■> the acre, but auch
high figures are the exception.
Practically all o f Watson’s ship­
ments thh week have been frain
their own fields U njlinj 300 acres
Although lettuce in this area is
con idered a minor crop, the fact
that .t follows other crops, such as
potatoes, in the same fields, grower
consider "any pr fit is gravy in
spite of the risk taken," one farmer
stated. He explained that as soon
as such produce as potatoes are
harvested and marketed, lettuce can
be planted and is quick-growing to
entail a minimum of expense and
an opportunity to gamble on a good
market.
Tom Jones, Nyssa Union Pacific
agent, stated that he has made ar­
rangements for 485 cars of lettuce to
leave this shipping point this fall.
That figure was reported to toe "too
high” by some shippers, although
the unpredictable factors involving
the crop "makes it difficult for
anyone to make a prediction.” Part
of the estimated 1000 acres in the
area w.ll be shipped from Ontario
produce houses to add to the un­
certainty of the total to be ex­

A survey of mosquito pioblems in
Nyrsa and the immediate area sur­
rounding the city by three members
of the Oregon State Board of Health
on Sept. 3 and 4 resulted In find­
ings of mosquito breeding areas and
recommendations for better control.
The survey was the result of a
request made by County Health
Officer Dr. L. A. Maulding follow­
ing at least one polio case that
was listed as "symptomatically sug­
gestive of equine encephalomyelitis '’
The disease is listed as a virus
disease of hordes and is com ­
municable to man by the Aedus
mosquito.
A four-page report received by
Dr. Mauld.ng this week contained
tlie conclusions that mosquito prob­
lems at Nyssa result from the sur­
rounding irrigated areas in Oregon
and Idaho, from local small im­
poundments of water resulting from
vegetable packing plants and sec­
ondary irrigation impoundments and
tlie seasonal flooding of contiguous
lowlands by the Snake river
It was recommended that certain
phases of the problem, present and
potential, can be partially met by
local measures. Waste water from
all vegetable packing plants should
be discharged by way of sumps into
the city sewage system, the report
stated, and the use of insecticides
in the city can be performed more
efficiently by the use of one of
the insecticide fog or mist divtses
on the market, was recommended.
The report listed in detail the
investigation made here, including
the fact that the city each year
treats the town with insecticides
for mosquito and fly control. The
spraying is timed to coincide with
the peak of the early summer flights
of Aedes mosquitoes. The total cost
was listed as $15,000.
Following Dr. Maulding’s sugges­
tion to the inspectors, breeding areas
outside the city limits were investi­
gated as such .places as gravel
pits, borrow pits and irrigation sys­
tems, might be potential uroducers
of mosquitoes.
The report warned that in ad­
dition to present sources o f mosquito
problems, development of Irrigation
on nearly 28,000 acres . . . will re­
sult In an upswing in the annual
production of mosquitoes In this
area.
“ It should be recognized that no
single small community located In a
heavily irrigated area can achieve
satisfactory control of mosquitoes
by working alone, whatever the
techniques employed,” the report
stated. *'A coordinated abatement
program in which neighbor com­
munities cooperate to achieve Che
desired result Is far more likely
to produce success. Immediate con­
sideration should be given by re­
sponsible officials in Nyssa and
other towns in the vicinity, both
Oregon and Idaho, to the formation
of a mosquito abatement district. .

Malheur County Among Top Ten For
Federal, Slate, County Road Plans
A six-page bulletin released by the
Oregon state highway commission
in connection with county federal
aid secondary program policy and
preedure, reveals that Malheur
county stands In tenth place among
the 36 counties In the amount of
funds passible for the 1954 and 1955
programs.
New arrangements requiring dis­
tribution of federal and state road
funds based on county road milage
and rural population, make the total
allocation figure for each of the
two years $77,543.
The only catch to this amount
programmed for Malheur county's
secondary road system Is that the
county must spend $15,508, or a
proportionate amount, of the total
each year. County officials contend
that t'hat much money will not be
available unless the voters of the
county vote in favor o f continuation
of tlie special, county-wide road
levy for another five years, begin­
ning with the fiscal year 1953-1954
According to a table of figures
in the State highway bulletin. $46,526
will be available from the federal
government and $15,509 will be
furnished by state with the county's
matching fund of $15,508.
The only counties leading Malheur
•cut with the group was Mrs. Lela
are Clackamas, Marion. Multnomah,
Washington, Douglas, U m a t i l l a ,
Linn, Lane and Jackson counties.
A formula developed by the As­
sociation of Oregon Counties and
approved by the state highway com­
mission, is set to divide 26 percent
of all federal road funds equally
among the counties. Of the remain­
ing 75 percent. 89 percent is dis­
tributed on the basis of rural popu­
lation and the other 29 percent on
county road ml
Malheur county benefits on the
remaining 75 percent because the
entire population of this county
is considered rural, while counties
with cities having more than 5,000
population must deduct the urban
population. Malheur county's large
area resulting in hundreds of miles
of roads also brings it among the
top ten in allocation, despite the
lack of overall population.
When a county, such as Malheur,
enters Into a long-range road pro­
gram with the Xunds required, a
definite policy of procedure must
be agreed upon by the three par­
ticipating units. Preliminary sur­
veys and preparation of plans and
specifications must be performed by
state forces with the state paying
100 percent of tlie cost. The state
must furnish description o f property
required and the county must handle
all negotiations for acquistlon in the
name of the county and pay all of
the acquisition costs. Construction
is done toy contract awarded In
the usual manner by the highway
commission with highway depart­
ment personnel supervising the con­
struction work.
The figures quoted in the tables
do not necessarily mean that all
the allocation money must be spent.
The county must request a project
for the given year and the project
will be reviewed by the state.
After a project is completed the
county is responsible for main­
tenance with county funds, but
there will be an annual inspection
by representatives of the Bureau of
Public Roads.
According to county officials, the
funds available for 1954 as listed
In the bulletin, would be applicable
for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1963
