"American girls, although
as pretty as the Australian
girls, smoke Ion much, drink
loo much beer, and gel
married loo young," Kays Bill
Rowett, International Farm
Youth Exchange Student,
Mu mble, South Australia.
Australian girls, although
quite fond of beer, drink very
little, not by choice but by
force The men do almost all
of the beer drinking; (tie girls

Bill. 24. single, made those
statements after being in the
I'nited States only a few
weeks. He has been staying
with Mr. and Mrs. Jim West,
lone, learning American
farming and sheep raising
methods.
Bill, a member of the Rural
Youth, Australian equivalent
of the 4 H Club of America,
had his air fare to the United
States paid for the an agri
cultural company in Aus
tralia While visiting here, he
will live with 4 H members
and their families.
He plans to study the
American way of farming and
American way of life, and
upon his return home he will
lie able lo try U.S. methods of
farming on his own farm.
Bill and his parents own a
l.ooo-acre ranch. They raise
2.000 sheep for wool, have 350
acres planted in wheat and
barley and 400 acres of alfalfa.
New camp
explained
Representatives of the
Church of Latter-Day Saints
told Chamber of Commerce
members Monday about the
new Harmony Camp at Lake
Penland.
Mrs. Ruth Wilson of Pasco
and Mrs. Treva Button of
Richland. Wash., explained
how the camp is being used,
mostly by girls of 12 y ears and
over, in a four-year certifica
tion program for wilderness
survival.
At the first camp for girls,
which has just ended, girls
built 18 camps, developed a
ampitheatr'e for such activi
ties as dance, 1 drama and
speech.
Mrs. Wilson is president of
the church's youth organiza
tion, and Mrs. Button is a
camp leader -counselor.
' This is possible because of
the rainfall, which average 21
inches er year, plus nine
months of growing weather.
We have 110 snow or frost, and
the valuable rain continues
throughout the year."
Oregon is similar to South
Australia, he said especially
the mountains, deep valleys,
and the climate. However, we
seem lo pel the rain when we
need it, which makes the
difference in growing crops.
"One thing thai I can't
follow in America", said Bill,
is the proerty tax system for
farmers. On our farm in
Australia the property tax on
the 1,000 acre farm amounts lo
Sl.noo er year, this amount
includes county taxes for the
maintenance of roads, water
rights, consisting of the right
to have running water on our
property and the right lo use
it, and the land tax, which
amounts to 1 percent of the
land value. The 1 percent tax
is soon to be phased out of our
present tax structure. Two
years ago it was 2 percent and
with the next few years,
should be eliminated.
"Our government is trying
to encourage farming; here
your government seems to be
discouraging farming. The
one thing that really confuses
me is the government's way of
subsidizing farmers. Paying
farmers not (o grow food, has
me confused."
They announced that a
Father-Son Camp will begin
Aug. 25, and that youth
activities in the future will be
continuous through the
summer months.
Orville Cutsforth introduced
the speakers. The camp is
located on 20 acres of property
formerly owned by Cutsforth.
Ernie Labert, State Fores
try Department, Fossil, will
be speaker at next Monday's
Chamber of Commerce
meeting.
Hill continued: "There is no
comparison lo Australian wool
and American wool. Australia
is noted for its fine wool which
is exported the world over.
The wool is much longer and is
of a different texture than
American wool.
"Wool lias sky! ot-keled in
Australia within the past two
years," he observed. "Two
years ago wool gold for 32
cents per pound Today the
price has risen to $1.80 per
pound, as it comes off the
sheep,"
Bill left the Heppner lone
area Saturday for Corvallis,
Mil not without an observation
on Heppner and its enple."
"Heppner is a typical small
rural town where everyone
seems to know what's hap
pening, something I think is
traditional with any small
farming area, as it is in my
home town of Mirrahel. The
Ieople are very friendly."
