PageS Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, July 18, 1957 AMERICAN SOFT WHEAT GOING INTO MANY PRODUCTS IN ASIAN COUNTRIES TOKYO, (Special) Unique ev idence that wheat market devel opment programs In Japan pay high dividends for Northwest wheat growers Is shown In of ficial Japanese government re ports listing noodle makers here as a substantial, evergrowing market for American soft wheat. Supporting this Japanese re port, the U. S. Department of Agriculture's foreign service branch states that this Asian na tion's annual consumption of domestic and imported wheat flour has risen to 2.1 million met ric ton total, with 42 percent used by noodle makers as against 58 percent divided up by bread, macaroni, and cracker makers. And of the 882,000 tons of noodles consumed each year, 30 percent are eaten in distinctively Japan ese dishes wet, and 70 percent in Chinese and Japanese style dishes dry. Japan's wet noodle Industry uses some 140,000 tons of U. S. soft wheat flour each year, the dry noodle even more, at a 430. 000 ton average "annual rate. Americans stationed in Japan join Japanese in a liking for what the latter call "Udon" a popular wheat dish for all, re gardless of age or sex. "Udon" retail shops are everywhere and the tasty noodles furnish quick lunch at train stops, curbslde stalls, even from wooden carts that trundle down the busiest city thoroughhfares, heralded by the distinctive creaking wheels. Two considerations, apart from tradition, account for the vast popularity: the simple, delicious taste, and the low price. The "Udon", soaked In soy sauce, re tails for a mere seven cents,, and the more varied types, dished up with eggs, fried bean curds, ham hocks, strips of beef or chicken, and boiled fish paste range be tween eight and sixteen cents. One or two bowls can even satisfy a hungry American. A colorful, characteristically Japanese sight is the restaurant boy riding his bicycle, using one hand to steer through heavy traf fic, the other balancing three to five tiers of trays and 30 to 40 bowls of the steaming wheat dish. This feat Americans have called "the eighth wonder of the world." Under the wheat publicity market development project, ap proved by the Unjted States De partment of Agriculture this March, and signed between the Oregon Wheat Growers League and the Japanese National Food Life Improvement Association $200,000 equivalent yen obtained from surplus agricultural pro duets under P. L. 480 has been earmarked to boost sales of wheat foods in Japan, and to ex pand American wheat markets here. To the Wet Noodle Federation, major consumers of U. S. soft wheat, 40,000 equivalent yen has been given, and to this has been added $10,000 equivalent Japan ese yen contributed by more than 10,000 "Udon" retailer in this country. The Federation assisted by Jo seph J. Spiruta, far east repre sentative of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, will open a na tionwide sales campaign of their products this fall. "Such a campaign," said Mr. Spiruta, "will serve the mutual interests of the Japanese people, in nutritional improvement, and the American wheat growers, in market development and expan sion."

Warehouses on Farms May Need License; State Act Amended A humber of new warehouses constructed on Oregon farms prompt the state department of agriculture to advise that some of them may be subject to the public grain warehouse inspec tion and licensing law. If farmers who have small warehouses or elevators on their farms accept grain of neighbors for paid storage or other consid eration, they will need a ware house license. Farmers who want license application blanks or who need further information to de termine whether their storage fa cility needs a license should write to the department's divi sion of grain inspection in Port land. The address is 60G S. E. Ninth avenue. New features of the state ware house law added by the 1957 legislature will become effective August 20, according to T. Ralph Harry, chief of the grain inspec tion division. These deal with shortages, giving notice of a ware house decides to quit business, causes for license refusal or revo cation and exceptions to the re strictions on grain storage. This legislation sets up how the department of agriculture hall proceed if its inspectors dis cover grain shortages. As an ulti mate step, the department may petition the courts for appoint ment of a receiver to operate or liquidate the business. After August 20, if any ware house operator decides to quit business, he must give 30-days advance notice to all holders of warehouse receipts, to persons storing grain and to the state de partment of agriculture. With respect to license actions, the amended law says the de partment may refuse to Issue or revoke a license for (1) viola tion or failure to comply with any provision of the warehouse act; (2) violation or failure to com ply with any of the rules and regulations adopted under the act; and (3) failure to maintain the warehouse premises in a le gal manner. Copies of the amendments may be obtained from the depart ment headquarters in Salem or from the grain division In Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Tames F.
