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
