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.

Be an eager beaver when you go camping this year. Build
your campflre in an open area, away from trees and brush.
Keep an eye on It while it burns. When you leave, make
sure every spark is out. These precautions may save thou
sands of acres of green forestland. You can help Keep
