yeai basis
We need to develop mar
kets with a solid base and be able to
maintain them in years ahead if agri
culture in this area is to remain in
a healthy state in years to come.
BUYING YOUNG CALVES
We have received several calls con-
cerning recently purchased baby cal-
ves imported Into this area from many
miles away by truck The complaints
are that these calves are not healthy
and the loss percentage is very high
In most cases these laby calves
are purchased soon after birth and
have no chance to build up disease
resistance before being transported,
The stress factor on these young cal-
ves is terrific so they many tunes
are sick when they arrive. Their sick-
ness could tie from many things but
usually ends up in scours, weakness
and death,
If you are going to buy young calves
to raise, your best bet is to buy
these liM-ally after they have been on
the cow long enough to have fed on
colostrum milk which fortifies them
against many scour causing factors.
By the time you get these transpor-
ted calves it is many limes too late
to effectively treat them
A TIME OF CAUTION'
In ttw» situation that agriculture
faces today, the row cropper rnay tie
affected more than other producers
of agricultural products. They are gro-
wing crops witti higher per acre costs
w ith higher risks and high priced land
Already, a good number of growers
are thinking about shifting their usual
acreage of row crops into other crops
such as wheat, field corn and forages
These crops may indeed return as
much income on a net return basis, but
on a long term view, these same gro-
wers need to realize they have a larger
stake in maintaining some present spe-
cific markets The shipper or proces-
sor who does not liave enough products
to hold his sales position this year
may be out of business in another year
and he may need this outlet again in the
not too distant future.
I do not suggest that a grower should
act as a charitable institution to keep
some one else in business, but the
matter of marketing in today’s trade
cannot be viewed simply on a year to
WHAT FORCES BREAKDOWN PESTI
cides?
Once pesticides are introduced into
the environment, outside forces im
mediately begin acting on them Pesti
cide <legradation processes and pesti
cide transfer processes play a part
in determining the ultimate fate of the
chemicals.
Three specific degradation proces
ses serve to break down the pesti
« ides and change their chemical com
position:
1
Biological decomposition - de
gradation by a living organism.
2. Chemical decomposition - break
down by a chemical process in the ab
sence of a living organism.
3. Photodecomposition - dégrada
lion by purely chemical processes in
volving radiant energy (sunlight).
Six transfer processes are impor
tant in determining what happens to
pesticide . in the environment

An exceedingly interesting meeting
of the city council was held in the
council chamtier on Wednesday evening
to discuss the water rate for users
of water from our recently installed
city water system. A large numtier
of the prominent citizens were pre
sent to assist the council in establish
ing a rate that would be just to all.
After much discussion about rates es
tablished by other towns under like
conditions with ours, the council by
unanimous vote fixed the rate at $1.00
fqr the first 1500 gallons, and 10 cents
per 1000 gallons in excess of 15000
gallons up to 80,000 gallons.
This
puts the water within the reach of all,
and we should see our town green with
newly made lawns, and flowers bloom
Ing in every yard, before the summer
passes.

Like beehives, where workers are as
busy as bees, construction camps dot
landscape south of Nyssa where all
kinds of work is making the Owyhee
project one of the brightest spots in
the state. Men are building siphons,
tunnels, canal laterals and structures of
all kind-..
This week Morrison-Knudsen Com
pany of Boise is building a new camp
above the Mendiola ranch where work
is beginning on ttw Owyhee River
siphon. A cook house and shacks will
lit.
Owyhee River siphon will span a
deep and colorful gorge that has been
cut into the earth by the river. Next
to the dam, this will probably be the
most picturesque structure on the Owy
hee.
