PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1945 Probems Faced In Cutting AAA Funds for Area Central Oregon county AAA committees are wrestling with the problem of making $95,000 In 19-15 AAA practice funds cover the $195,000 In soil and water conser vation work for which 1100 farm ers and ranchers in Crook, Jef ferson and Deschutes counties have requested approval this year, It was learned here today. John Denny, Corvallis, district AAA fieldman for Central Ore gon, Is meeting with the county committee this week to assist in working out methods of cutting down each county's conservation program to fit the funds. Greatly increased interest in conservation work on the part of farm operat ors, a reduced stale allocation of funds for the 1945 program, re moval of limitations on individual farm earnings, and a congression al stipulation that full payments be made for all practices perform ed are given by Denny are the reasons for the present situation. Practices Cut Since payments cannot be re duced on a pro rata basis, so that partial payment would be made for all of the practices performed, committeemen are finding it nec essary to cut the number of prac tices for which payment will be made, Denny reported. This Is being done by giving first priority to practices contributing most to conservation needs In the county. A priority list of practices is set up according to the importance of each practice, and approval is given to practices In order of their priority as far down the list as the county allocation of funds will ! j.rKib.OOO. counties, Denny reported. Oregon farmers have indicated on farni plans that they intend to perform over $-1,000,000 In practices this year, while the state allocation is cover. TIip Jefferson county commit tee, of which W. J. Stebbins Is chairman, decided at a meeting Tuesday to give top priority to the control and eradication of noxious weeds. Protected summer, fallow was given second place, followed by livestock water developments, range fencing ana otner grazing land improvements, with all other practices grouped together in the No. 5 priority. Of the throe coun ties, Jefferson's quota of funds comes closest to covering intend ed performance. Farmers have signed up for $23,000 in practices, compared with a $20,000 alloca tion. Group Meets Tonight The Deschutes county commit tee, headed by H. P. Eby of Ter rebonne, chairman, is meeting tonight in Redmond. Approxi mately $15,000 worth of prac tices will be pared from this caun ty's 1915 practice program to make it fit the budget. It is expect ed that reorganization of farm irrigation systems will be near tices will be pared from this coun ority practices. The Crook county committee, with C. B. Adams chairman, is confronted with the most diffi cult problem. Stepped up requests for range and water conservation practices have given this county a total intended 19-15 program of $115,000, more than three times the $35,000 county quota. The Crook committee meets Friday afternoon in Prineville. The heavy demand for AAA practice participation being ex perienced in Central Oregon ap plies equally to other Oregon1 I'Hs Into Needs "This Increased interest means that we have a practice program that fits our conservation needs, and that farmers have become more conservation-minded," the district fieldman believes. "More farmers are aware of the need for checking soil erosion, conserving water resources, and for building back in the soil some of the fer tility lost during the past four years of intensive wartime production."

Telling of his aerial victory upon returning to this base, Lieu tenant .Gelbrieh said: Is Pilot's Dream "It was a 'pilot's dream.' We came through a hole in the clouds and right below us was this air field . . . our target. There were from 75 to 100 planes lined up around its strips. As we came in I poured a burst Into a Betty. It started burning and when I let it have a few more rounds, it ex ploded. "We raked the planes on the ground, seeing many hits scored as we roared over. After sweep ing the air field we continued on strafing factories and other mili tary targets." Lieutenant Gelbrich's wife Mild red, lives at 154 . Underwood, in Bend.
