“Those dunes sure haven’t moved
a bit since,” Kenney reports. “There
is just one way you can farm in this
country, and that is to protect the
land against the wind. 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

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

Long Before You Buy
As you glance at the articles on display in a store
window, it is an interesting lesson in banking to re
mind yourself that each of those pieces of merchan
dise has “been to the bank”—usually several times,
before it reaches you.
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.

• John Deere tractors, burning low cost fuels, made a clean

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.
