A generation orao ago we had a system that gave encourage ment to the men with the nerve and ability to step out and start something and keep it rolling, the entrepreneur. Some of them became capitalists and have been disgraced by those who are spending - what they made. Others became broke. But thev gave the United States a repu tation for progress r this Instance may be defined as using the natural resÓurces of the nation to bring better physical living conditions to the natives thereof. Now the management of mucn of the business of the country is in the hands of government employees who in most cases have college educations, t h e ability to pass examinations, the courtesy* to praise the head of their department and the nerve to think they are as able as the men who started and developed the enterprise in the first place, It is like a callow young man trying to run his father’s busi ness.

In Some Places Rain started October 4 when .10 inch fell and continued th at night when .13 m ore came. It was not enough to satisfy any one—only to encourage. The rainfall for Septemb?.- was .21 which is .48 inch under the normal for the .month. Ther? has been less than an inch of rain .since the first of April and seeding conditions are not good. Some farm ers are seeding, principally around Wasqo \yhcre they like to get done earlier than do the t farmers „ farther south who do not mind p u ttirg w heat into the ground in Nov ember. The tem perature for Septem ber was G2.4 degrees which was 4.8 degrees above the normal for th at month hut oddly enough the average w arm th of the m onth camo from arv increase in the m inimum instead of an increase in the m axim um .

The highest tem perature for the m onth was on the first day when the mercury climbed to 95 and the lowest was 31 on the 12th and 20th. Wheat Men Send Bell To Study Food Needs The USDA has- asked E. L Bell, Oregon State W heat Corn mission A dm inistrator, to he the leader in their study of the pos sihilities of expanding F ar E a st ern m arkets for Pacific Nor’ n west w heat. Jens Terjeson, com mission chairm an, said today. Terjeson said that the USDA hys asked Bell to study the die tary^ needs and food supply in Japan, India, and the Philippines while a USDA chem ist probes the m illing and baking end. The W heat Commission has been w orking tow ard the F a r Eastern study for a ‘ year and a half and proposed the* project to the USDA along with to » Oregon W heat Growers League. W ashington State’s D epartm ent of A griculture will send Arch io* Camp, I>a Crosse wheat farm er and president of the N orth Pa- . cific Grain Growers, Inc. Bell and Camp m et with N or thw est m illers and -grain exnort- ers at Portland Monday to get suggestions and arrange for con tacts w ith overseas rep resen ta tives of American firms. If a r rangem ents can he made. Bell and Camp will go to W ashington, D. C., New York, and Chicago, in October to get inform ation from the USDA. arm y, state de partm ent, m illers and exporters. The commission has an econo m ist in W ashington gathering inform ation and statistics on m arket outlets for wheat in th? Orient to help the study. “By sending these men over seas,” said Terjeson. “they will give us accurate, first-hand in formation on the best wav to establish a permanent market for the surplus of wheat in the United States. Our own regio i produces 100 million bushels of wheat annually of which 65 mil lion bushels must be sold out side the Pacific Northwest. We hope they will give us definite suggestions on just what grow ers, millers and exporters can do to maintain the largest pos sible outlets over the next 10 to 25 years. „ . "The project may take several years, and if the preliminary survey shows that -.wheat would be beneficial, the United States may • send ‘food missionaries’ to Far Eastern people to show them how to prepare wheat pro ducts to suit thetr tastes rM methods of cooking. “Far Eastern people are get» ting wheat now; They neel wheat because their popuiaU-m Is increasing under Insufficient suppvlies of rice. We hope the project will answer these que<- tlons: What kind of wheat and flour, tyre best for the neoplc? What’s the most »acceptable form of getting it to them? W hat else— can we do to get the Far Easter” people to buy our wheat and flour over a period of years? ’
