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

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. "If we in Canada lower

methods for carrying out the re
commendations made by the
various committees in behalf of
the state's No. 1 farm crop.
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.
A similar conference held in
1926 led to the organization of
