bonds and he urged his listeners
to buy as many as possible and
to list them in their financial
statements. . In closing, Mr.

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

seven members used the credit
facilities of the association dur

1,700 loans have been made
since the association was found

$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,

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. '

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.

iron is one of the essential things.
The best way to get iron is in foods. But few
foods provide significant amounts of iron. Thus,
your diet can be poor in iron without your know
ing it and your "iron level" may decline. Fortu
nately, however, there is one well-known break
fast cereal that is extra rich in iron. And that is
kellogg's all-bran, which provides even more
available iron than apinacK
In addition to being rich in this vital element,
kellogg's all-bran, is an important, natural
source of calcium, phosphorus, vitamins Bi, B,
and niacin. This nut-brown crunchy breakfast
cereal is made from the vital outer layers of finest
wheat . . . chock-full of nutritive elements.
KELLOGG'S All-Bran is made from the
VITAL OUTER LAYERS of finest wheat
You know that the sm of a potato and the peef of
an apple are richest in vitamins and minerals. Into
the vital outer layers of the wheat, as well, Nature
has packed some of the richest gifts of sun and
soil, all-bran is made of these vital outer layers
and is. more abundant In many needed food ele

America's Great Regulating Food
Besides being a storehouse of important food ele

great regulating cereal. Millions eat it regularly. A
one-ounce serving is usually adequate for satisf c

softness, does not interfere with normal digestion.
Make sure your family gets a good start on Its

regularly at the breakfast table, beginning today!
