The task of charting the future development of Oregon's wheat Industry has been assigned to a five-man executive committee by the 200 persons who attended the Oregon Wheat Industry con ference held February 19 and 20 in Portland. Four of the five were chairmen for main conference committees that had studied the wheat prob lem for more than 10 months with the help of 18 sub-committees. They are Don McKinnis, Sum morville wheat grower, who headed the production and land use committee; Sam Cook, Pen dleton wheat grower, chairman of the income and costs commit tee; Vic Moen, president of the Portland Grain Exchange, chair man of the marketing commit tee; Clancy Jean, manager of the agricultural department, Port land chamber of commerce chairman of the government pro gram committee. F. E. Price, dean and director of agriculture at Oregon state the Oregon Wheat Growers lea gue and to growth and develop ment of the Oregon wheat in dustry, Price said. The 1957 con ference had the same objectives of improvement and development for the industry, he reported, al though the problems are entire ly different from 1926 when the horses vs. tractors, headers vs. combines, and bulk vs. sack handling of wheat were big dis cussion points. Present-day problems center around surpluses and subsidies, promotion and marketing, and development of new uses for wheat, speakers pointed out. C. B. Davidson, secretary of the Canadian Wheat Board was critical of U. S. wheat disposal programs that "put wheat into international trade on a subsi dized basis" and that hurt wheat producers and cut wheat ex ports of other countries. "When the United States in creases its export subsidies, your treasury pays the bill," Davidson said.

Some of these recommenda tions included: Research to develop new types of wheat food products suited to modern diets. Maintenance of a large strate gic food wheat reserve charged to civilion defense. Expansion of conservation prac. tiers, with establishment of grass in a long-time rotation on wheat farms for a permanent produc tive cropping system. An industry-sponsored wheat promotion program. Wheat price support programs which would encourage greater production of high quality types of wheat. Modernization of terminal wheat unloading facilities. Expansion of livestock produc tion in the- wheat country to meet demands for meat from the growing population of the Pacific Northwest. The conference, one of the most thorough self-studied by an agricultural group in history, was prompted by sharp declines in wheat crop dollar returns. It was organized by the college at the request of the Oregon Wheat Growers league, OSC's Price pointed out in his report that the value of the state's wheat crop had dropped 40 percent in the last three years from around $74 million in 1953 to $11 million in 1955.
