Western Idaho Fair Grounds in
Boise.
All Cub packs of the
Ore-Ida Council are invited to
participate in the first annual
council Cub Day. There will be
a potluck event with each pack
bringing their own food. Lets
make this a parent Cub Day to
remember.
Big event of the day will be

1st, 2nd and 3rd places to be
decided for Wolf, Bear and
Weblo’s rank. Be sure to have
a pack race off before coming
to the Fair grounds. Patches
will be given out with each
25? registration. There will be
a special patch for each Pine
wood Derby participant. Tro
phies to go to each of the top
three winners in the Wolf, Bear
and Weblo’s ranks.
Each pack can set up a game
booth, 1? to 5? can be char
ged for each participating pla
yer at the booth. There will be
concessions for soft drinks,
popcorn, cotton candy, etc. A
council information booth will
be available to answer questions
on cub scouting. In addition a
special booth will sell council
patches and literature.
Registration will be from 10
WAHLERT WENT on his own
in 1966 and has been actively a.m. to 11 a.m. It is requested
involved in seed experiments that all proposed booths be
ever since. Today, Wahlert is set up prior to 10 a.m. For
breeding a new onion and a tur
nip which look "very promis
ing”, already, he is starting
to think of the day when he will
be able to patent the new seeds
under a new law called the Plant
Variety Protection Act.
•'With any luck,” says Wah
lert, "I’ll apply for a patent
on the turnip next year.”
Wahlert has had some luck
with his turnip already. When
the freeze hit last December
he nearly lost his entire year's
harvest, fortunately, however,
he had taken some turnips home
to eat and was able to save
those and keep the strain going.
UP UNTIL NOW, Wahlert has
managed Io get along with his
wife Nellie taking care of the
company books and one em
ployee to help tn the field.
Now, however, he has purcha
h
sed a ranch east of Nyssa and is
planning to move his entire seed
operation to that location.
Builders have already fi
nished putting up a large metal
warehouse on the site and Wah
lert says be will probably have
to expand his work force as his
business- grows.

Nyssa Grower Spends 44
Years In Seed Business
In 1929, Bill Wahlert of Nyssa
gratkiated from high school and
went to work for a seed com
pany. Today, 44 years later,
Wahlert is still in the seed bu-
| siness, but now he's working
for himself.
Wahlert operates a family
company. Bill Wahlert Seeds,

Also, Wahlert conducts re
search and development experl-

other companies and for his
own use. At the moment, for
example,

plants for an Asian firm on his
