The amount of the payments mailed to Nyssa growers this week was $1,200,000 and made the total paid for the 1965 crop almost $10 million for the 1,200 farmers. Amalgamated has invested sev eral hundred thousand dollars in a tare and test laboratory in Nyssa and growers will normally have reports on the tare and su gar content of their beets within four days. Payments will be made to growers on an individual basis for the first time this year, based on their beets, instead of an av erage for all growers as in the past. The initial payment on the cur rent crop will be made by Nov. 15 for beets delivered prior to Nov. 1, and later deliveries at 10-day intervals. This is expected to ap proximate the $10 per ton paid last year.

Postal, Military Authorities Urge Early Overseas Christmas Mailing It’s time to get Christmas shopping done on gifts going to servicemen or civilians overseas.

Democratic nominees for coun ty office in the Nov. 8 general election have addressed the Nyssa Chamber of Commerce members recently. On Wednesday, Oct. 12, Emil Maag, candidate for county com missioner; George Pressley, can didate for state representative from Malheur and Harney coun ties; and Bob Morcom, for county clerk, talked briefly, following in troductions by Jacob Fischer. Maag, a farmer and cattleman from the Jamieson community, was critical of budget increases in the county during the past 10 years and said if the same raises were continued through another decade a lot of people would be out of business. He said the schools in the coun ty provide good educations but that he deplores the loss of young people to other areas due to the county not providing jobs for them here. He suggested that ex plorations in the food industry might provide part of the an swers. Also recommended by Maag were a road-use tax and a con certed effort to keep “free-riders” off the welfare rolls. George Pressley said he came to the area in 1941, worked 13 years in the U. S. National Bank at Vale and started farming with his brother near there four years ago. He stressed that he lived in the county, knew the problems and, if elected, would try to hold taxes at the present level. Robert Morcom, a deputy clerk for three years under the late Homer Schnell, was appointed to fill the unexpired term after the death of Schnell, said he came to the area in 1939 and was “run ning on his record.” Wednesday, Oct. 19, James T. (Jim) Rudd, candidate for county judge, gave a brief background of his work and stated his views. He told the group that he has had considerable experience as a far mer, businessman and had served two terms as a director of Road District No. 3. (Continued on Page 7) One more point — Postal offi cials say that illegible or incor rect addresses and inadequate wrapping are the most frequent causes for failure of Christmas gifts to be delivered before the holiday. A precaution for persons using the mails can take is to include in each package a duplicate of the name and address, for use in case the wrapping comes off and is lost.
