Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, August 28, 1 952 WHEAT COMMISSION ADMINISTRATOR SEES BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR GRAINS PENDLETON August 23 Ed ward J. Bell, administrator of the Oregon Wheat Commission, Pen dleton, rearing the termination of his year's leave of absence from that position, said today in dications' are that rice economy nations of the Far East are in the market for an increasing amount of wheat and flour. Bell was back in Pendleton on Thursday after directing for a year the efforts of the U. S. to strengthen the agricultural eco nomy of the Philippines. He left today (Saturday) for Washington, D. C, where he will make his re port on the year's activities. On August 31st, he will be hack in Pendleton to assume his duties as administrator of the Wheat Commission. Bell noted encouraging trends in the increasing use of flour In the Philippines and in Japan. In the former nation he resided in Manila for a year he said many Philippinos had developed a taste for eating bread in the form of hard rolls ("pan-de-sal") for breakfast and were eating on in creasing amount of cake and other confections on holidays. This should be of particular in terest to Eastern Oregon wheat farmers, who raise the soft, white wheat which is especially good for cake flour. In Japan, Bell said Japanese millers had told him that wheat continues to be an important sub stitute for rice, which is becom ing more difficult to obtain. Many Japanese, who formerly ate rice three times a day, now eat wheat once daily and like it, he said. The younger generation of Jap anese, which has "developed a definite taste for bread" is going to be an important customer for the American wheat farmers, Bell predicted. The wheat administration as serted these nations would pro bably Import still more flour and wheat if all restrictolns were removed. He reported that the Philippines government had recently decree that all imported flours must now be enriched with Vitamin B am iron on the same standards as in U. S. In Bell's opinion, this will probably mean enriched wheat will keep flour consumption at a high level. Flour imports of the Philippines in 1951 outdistanced rice by margin of 150,fXX) metric tons to 129,000 metric tons of nee, giving an indication of the increasing importance of flour there. Actual importation of wheat In Japan has far exceeded the esti mated amount of 37 million bus hels. In 1951, 55 million bushel: were Imported and C7 million bus hels are going into the nation in 1952. While rice is being rationed in Japan at fixed prices, wheat and barley have been decontrolled, Bell said. The millers gave out figures showing that the use of flour in the form of bread had increasec In Japan from 15 percent of al flour used before the war to 40 percent after the war. Noodle: dropped from 50 percent to '10 per cent and Pastry and other uses declined from 45 percent to 20 However, the primary impetus to increased use of wheat am flour must come from a higher standard of living fur Asian peo ples, Bell said. That is why U. S. special technical and economic: assistance in the Far East may have far reaching results eventu ally for American wheal farmers Mr. and Mrs. Edward "Puff" Rice of Portland spent the week end in Heppner with his parents Mr. and Mrs. I!.
