That’s why those trees are a great thing.” The trees mentioned are in a wind break approximately a mile and a quarter long. They are black locust, j chiefly, Russian olive and other trees the CCC’s helped him plant as three- row windbreaks on the south and west sides of his fields. Other trees are to be planted around the base of the dunes. Kenney’s erosion-control farm plan also includes protective crop rotations, pasture seedings, and specially designed concrete-wood en checks to slow down the water and stop washing in his irrigation ditch es. Another example of successful in land sand dune control is on the nearby branch experiment station at Hermiston where a fire on adjacent uncultivated land removed native vegetation and started a sand “blow” that threatened part of the station property.

Not only does bank credit enter into the produc tion, manufacture and transportation of goods, but in the ultimate sale as well. Quite possibly the goods you admire on your dealer’s shelves were purchased through credit obtained at this bank. We seek constantly to grant sound loans to busi ness men and individuals of this community. This is one of our primary obligations as a progressive commercial bank.

Fuel economy like this is a conclusive demonstration of the real money to be saved by using low-cost fuels in John Deere two- cylinder tractors. And the reason for this economy is exclusive John Deere two-cylinder engine design, after seventeen years still the most practical development in farm tractors. You want this same economy on your farm. Enjoy it this year and for many years to come with a John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractor. Is not this conclusive evidence of the superiority and economy of these tractors? We will be glad to prove it on Y O U R farm at our expense. Mr. Lyle Mason, sweepstakes winner, could probably tell you of an amazing sum of money he has saved in eight years opera tion with his tractor. For instance on one hundred acres plowing you would save ap proximately $11.00. For costs, pictures, plans, etc., see T U M -A -L U M LUM BER “We like to help folks build.” CO.
