Taxpayers should take note of the
fact that they will be assessed on all
taxable property owned by them on
the first day of March. In case of
real estate, ownership will be based
on the records' of the county recorder
as shown on March 1. This rule will
be followed, as the deputies have no
discretion in the matter, but must
obey , instructions. -
Property is to be assessed at its true
cash value, the deputies to appraise it

Horticulturists Recognize Necessity
of Organization of Selling Agency.
Benton County fruit growers are
planning to organize an association
for the advancement of horticultural
interests In that locality. At a recent
meeting held for that purpose in Cor
vallis, says the Gazette-Times, atten
tion was called to the fact that Benton
County, without an organization, got
60 and 60 cents for the same kind of
fruit that Linn County was selling for
from $1.25 to $2.60. No intelligent
interest would select a community
where there is no protection from
pests for the investment of a half mil
lion dollars. It is a fact, that millions
of dollars are lost in Benton County,
because a man might put out a decent
orchard and next door to him might
be a pest-laden place that would com
pletely destroy its value.
