said.
As to taxes, he said that farm
iMMinle In Oregon pay 25 to
30 of their net Income In prop
erty taxes while others pay on

value of the farms.

food as cheap before as they
do rlcht now." the state direct

and packer. He has served in
each of these capacities.

Oregon's director of agricul
ture. Walter Leth of baiem,
attracted some extra commen
dations at the 100th anniver
sary meeting of the American
Jersey Cattle Club held in
early October in Columbus,
Ohio.
He was the only former dir
ector of the Jersey group who
also holds the distinction of
being a director of a state de
partment of agriculture. Leth
served as western director of
the American Jersey Cattle
Club from 1942 to 1945 and as
an official Jersey classifica
tion Iudge. He was a member
of the committee placing the
AJCC headquarters in Colum
bus. Leth reports that the Jersey
breed is increasing materially
in numbers. This was evident
at meetings both of the AJCC
and the World Jersey Council,
held concurrently in Colum
bus. He said 78 beeders from
New Zealand, more than 20
from Australia and delega
tions from Ireland, Denmark,
and England were among
those present.
Two personalities present
drew more than passing inter
est: They were Lord and
Lady from the Isle of Jersey,
where the breed originated in
the ISth century.
