idea throughout the state.
“TillamO' k county,” said the speak­
er, “has mad; a better showing in

the state!”
Dr. J. N. Shaw, county veterinary,
spoke on the dangers of the “foot and
mouth," disease, now so prevalent in
California, and said if the disease
should reach Oregon, there was dang-
er that this county might be affected.
County Agent Fine talked along the
lines of the importance of advertising
the county’s dairy industries. His
idea was to keep Tillamook county
on the map at all times by progres­
sive work, and by taking the initiative
in all matters calculated to aid and
protect the dairy industry, which is
our greatest permanent business
asset.
The club passed a resolution asking
the County Creamery association to
donate funds to help defeat the oleo­
margarine referendum bill.
A committee was also appointed to
formulate a resolution to show the
sentiment of the club toward business
men of this county who handle oleo­
margarine products.
The next meeting of the Jersey
Cattle club will be held at Fairview,
sometime next month.
