NOV EM BER 19. 1953 Beet Checks Go to Growers; Record Yield Expected Checks totaling $7.045,000 for the inital payment for sugar beets de livered to the Nyssa and Nampa sugar factories in October were mailed this week to growers in the Nyssa-Nampa district, it was an nounced by Jed Lewis, manager of the Amalgamated Sugar Co. Of this t:tal amount, approxi mately $3,800.000 or about 55 percent, goes to growers served by the Nyssa factory. The payment represents 723,371 tons of beets delivered to the two factories in October with the Nyssa factory receiving 392.000 tons of the total. The Nyssa district in cludes all of Malh^u- county, Weiser, Payette, Buckingham and Parma in addition to beets sliced for Marsing . and Homedale, Lewis said. The initial payment does not in clude $2.40 per ton government pay ment and an additional amount ■will be paid by the sugar company when the sugar is sold. Another payment amounting to $2,000,000 will be made next Wednes day for all beets delivered from Nov. 1 through Nov. 15. Lewis said that only about 6000 tons of beets, or about one percent, remained to be harvested out of a total of more than a half million tons in the Nyssa district. The two factories will have processed about one million tons of beets at the dose of the current campaign. All indications point to an aver age sugar content as good as last year and it is expected that the yield per acre will surpass the record set last year when the average was 23.04 tons, the company manager predicted. This year’s overall acre age is about 30 percent greater than that, of 1952. Both the Nyssa and Nampa fact ories will operate for a total of about 142 days during the campaign to make the longest run since 1950 when they operated for 146 days. Last year the Nyssa factory cam paign lasted for 122 days and at Nampa operations continued for only 77 days. ?rcmdt Elef ,ed }° Irrigation Board E.

Bulldogs Write Finis to 1953 Football Season Titanic though the effort was, it was not enough on the part of the Nyssa Bulldogs against an In spired Payette football team in the Armistice Day finale to the Snake River Valley class A conference game. The Bulldogs piled up their great est single game score, 32 points, for the season but the touchdown- hungry Pirates had to pick the oc casion for their greatest scoring effort, 60 points, to win their only conference game. Harmon Killibrew was by far the games outstanding star, accounting for five of the Pirate TDs. The Bulldogs scored in every frame, adding an extra TD in the final quarter. First scoring effort came in the first quarter on a pass from Lovejoy to Snider. A line buck on the one- yard line by Simianer accounted for the second TD In the second quarter. Neither try for apoint was good. A five-yard line buck by Keck in the third period resulted in the third touchdown, with the extra point making the score for Nyssa 19 point*. Highlighting Nyssa’s efforts were the two touchdowns that came In the fourth period, one on a 20-yard gallop by Holcomb after recovering a fumble and the other a 67-yard romp by Giron. The game ended the Pirates 60, the Bulldogs 32 —and the season ended for them 4n the cellar with five straight conference losses. Only mark in the win column was a game taken from John Day that counted In the Oregon 7-A-2 divi sion.
