Henry Speaker Main speaker at the meetings here and in Roseburg was Ernest E. Henry, president of the Pro duction Credit corporation, Spo kane. He reviewed the history of the Production Credit system and explained the financial set up of the system from a national, regional and local angle. Commenting on the local asso ciation, the speaker stated that members should plan not only for the present but for the future and should keep in mind the post-war periods ' when they might be more in need of credit than at present. He urged' stock holders to keep their stock, even though not borrowing at present. and to invest earnings from crops in war bonds which would earn interest on a year-round basis. The speaker pointed out that farmers have been accused of not buying their share of war bonds and he urged his listeners to buy as many as possible and to list them in their financial statements. . In closing, Mr. Henry reminded the stockhold ers to "put your house in order while the going is good" and to remember that "you won't get dependable credit unless you are dependable yourself.

Long Range Plans . Stressed in AAA Program A 1945 agricultural conserva tion program designed to help Oregon farmers and ranchers continue record wartime food production and at the same time undertake more long-range con servation practices was an nounced to farmer committee men from all Oregon counties at the recent state AAA conference in Corvallis. The program will offer a wide range of proved practices well adapted to Oregon agriculture to encourage better farming methods that conserve soil and water resources. Payment rates will reflect approximately 80 per cent of the cost of carrying out the practice. Practices that contribute di rectly to improved soil produc tivity, such as application of lime and phosphate, are con tinued. Use of these materials has increased substantially in the past seven years under the AAA program. The committeemen stressed the importance of checking the soil erosion and depletion that has taken place during war 400, .the report stated. Fifty seven members used the credit facilities of the association dur ing the past year. A total of 1,700 loans have been made since the association was found ed, the dollar volume being $4,364,000. At the close of the meeting a rising vote of thanks was ex tended Brophy, Hilton and Bren H. Starcher, former secretary and manager of the association, at the suggestion of Ralph Cook. Mr. Starcher, with the associa tion for the past eight years, has also resigned. ' About 50 persona attended the meeting, held at the Holland Hotel with Fisher presiding. years, as Oregon farmers in creased total production nearly one-third above pre-war levels. Emphasis was placed on taking steps now to restore productiv ity taken out of the soil by the increase in production 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 total exceptions are the $2 an acre allowance for lime and phosphate, and total payment limitatons placed on a few in dividual practices. Preliminary reports show that Oregon farmers carried out a record volume of needed con servation practices in 1944, earning approximately $3,500,- 000 for work completed under the program. The committee men were charged with con tinued responsibility for obtain ing the maximum in conserva tion for every payment made. ' R. G. FOWLER, County Agent. Advice Given On Pruning Shrubs Pruning flowering shrubs at the wrong season is one of the common causes for unsatisfac tory blossoming. Generally speaking, there are two distinct types of flowering shrubs. One type produces blossoms early in the spring from over-winter ing buds. If these buds are re moved the blossoms are re moved with them. It Is impos sible for the plant to produce buds quickly enough again for blooming before the following spring. This large group is represent ed by lilacs, spirea and flower ing crabs. These and others in this group should not be dor mant pruned. They should be allowed to flower and as soon as the petals fall they should be pruned. The severity of prun ing depends on the Individual shrub, but enough wood should be removed to allow the plant to make a vigorous growth. For the bush shrubs like spirea, the oldest canes should be cut out at the ground. The weakest of the new canes should also be removed. Very little cutting back is practical. For lilacs, all the flower stalks are removed as well as the weak twigs. That would produce poor blossoms or none at all. If the lilac is growing vigorously, little pruning need be done, but as growth slows up more wood should be re moved. Summer flowering shrubs like the rose and tamarisk should be pruned while dor mant. The severity of the prun ing will depend on quality of blossom desired. The heavier a rose is pruned, the fewer will be the blossoms produced, but the better their quality, Wher ever possible, old canes should be removed entirely and re placed by young canes. C. B.

From Montana's famed, fabulous copper industry and from mines and smelters in near-by states, too 1 tremendous tonnages of the red metal in many forms are moved to distant arsenals, foundries and plants by Great Northern's supply line. The Northwest's copper industry relies on Great Northern for dependable transportation.
