Fund for Deschutes Project is Urged WASHINGTON, May 24 (UP) Rep. Lowell Stockman, R., Ore., said today'ihe had asked the sen ate appropriations committee to restore $50,000 for the Deschutes irrigation project in his state to the interior-department budget. The funds were eliminated by the house committee; which also reduced $5,500,000 general inves tigation budget- for Oregon and cut $1,500,(M)0 from the depart ment's adniifiislrative funds for the slate. He told the senate committee the full investigation funds would enable the interior department to start reconstruction work in Ore gon which would bring in new construction, contracts. The De schutes project, he said, would be crippled in its function of irri gating Jefferson county lands unless the $50,000 were restored. -it Next time you're at your grocer's . . . when it's jt , ' .-: f - ; u i ,,. timeto buy bread ... take a tip from your neigh- ? r, , bors and reach for BREAD AT ITS BEST!

R. E. Brown, president of tha bank, said he had transmitted the final payment of $1,500,000 to the federal government, which at one time had more than $32,000,000 invested in the bank's capital and surplus. With the federal in debtedness paid, the farmer-and-stockman-owned national farm loan associations in Idaho, Mon tana, Or.'gon and Washington became sole owners of the bank, he said. The 77 national farm loan as sociations in the four slates, which are serving more than 20, 000 borrower-members, now own a bank with total assets of $60, 000.000; capital stock of $3,500, 000, and reserves and surplus-of $9,300,000.
