The largest state Jersey banquet In VllKtnrv tiriK 1 AT 44 i .vj, n,, ui ancnuance, was served at noon, with Dean U. G. Dubach of Oregon State college the main speaker. Donald Rowland, Independence, president of the state Future Farmers, spoke on the work of the FFA. Among honored guests were Gov. Charles A. Sprague, State Treasurer Les lie Scott and J. D. Mickle, state director' of agriculture. -. Blame for the tragedy of Pearl Harbor and the live of American fighters still to be sacrificed can be laid squarely b the Indifference of individual Americans, Dean Dubach de clared In an address charged with facts and figures calculated te produce thinking. "We're the only nation in the world that can straighten out the ' world after this is over if we don't wreck ourselves in the meantime ; . V . lets be positive when it comes 0 this country," he urged.; ;: ... . Yamhill county was awarded first place for the best Jersey ad vancement during the year, and second and third place medals go 'to the Linn-Benton and Polk Jersey' cattle clubs, respectively. Judges of the county reports es pecially commended the progress made by the new Clatsop county unit. , Awards are made by - the American Jersey Cattle dub. . -Resolutions approved continued cooperation with the boys training school at Woodburn where an ex cellent herd of purebred Jerseys is bein e developed through, the interest of officials and the boys. The resolutions proposed Walter Leth as western director ; on - the American Jersey Cattle dub; asked continuation of the joint Oregon-Washington banquet start ed last year; and asked local draft boards to defer young men who are necessary ' for operation of dairy farms in order that dairy men may meet the government's desire for maximum milk nroduc- tion. T. R. Warren, Portland, field man for the Jersey clubs, told breeders that their most import ant Job right now is to produce more milk of higher quality and greater butterfat content; but that it hi equally important to develop high producing- cows that may withstand the econo mic competition during the post war period. He also reported that J. C. Nis bet, extension director of the AJCC, will spend three days in Oregon, April 2, 3 and 4, at Grants Pass, Salem and Portland, re spectively. Prof. P. M. Brandt, .Oregon State college dairy husbandry de partment, gave the main after noon address, recommending pro cedure for Jersey breeders today and after the war. He cautioned against repetition of the disastrous conditions of the early 1920's and urged breeders to keep their feet on the ground In the matter of indebtedness. , ' 1 Dr.Y.TXan. " Dr.G.Caaa. N4.
