Oregon farmers increased total
production nearly o n e-t h i r d
above pre-war levels. Emphasis
was placed on taking steps now
to restore productivity taken out
o fthe soil by the increase in pro­
duction to meet war needs.
As in 1944, no farm allowance
limitations will be imposed by
the 1945 program, so that each
farmer may perform and earn
payments for as large a conser­
vation job as his farm needs. The
only exceptions are the $2 an acre
allowance for lime and phos­
phate,, and total payment limita­
tions placed on a few individual
practices.
Preliminary reports show that
Oregon farmers carried out a re­

completed under the program.
