Fair Thoughts in Air
Some of the most interesting
reports to come to this office are
from the employees of the West
ern Wheat AfcMxiiite placed In
various foreign assignment fur
the sole reason of furthering the
ue and sale of soft Mhlte wheat
An April report Mhich has Jut
reached this office from the East
I'akUtan area discussed the use
of Bulgor M heat Mhich has re
cently been cleared for demon
stration use Mlth the hopes of
developing a market In countries
where preparation of whole
Mheat la difficult From one of
the reports: "On April 3. 1961
cooking of Bulgor wheat In the
traditional May of cooking rice
Mlth usual Ingredients and fa
cilities was demonstrated before
the officers and members of the
forces at East Pakistan Rifles
Headquarters. Two simple mud
ovens Mlth ordinary firewood as
fuel Mere used, and over the oven
were put two large deghs; one
for Bulgor Polao and the other
for meat curry. All the officers
and men present Mere served
Mlth the prepared food and they
declared that Bulgor was as
tasty as rice and they liked It
very much. Between the army
and the civil police stands the
East Pakistan rifles as a second
line of defense (especially
guarding the borders) in the pro
vince. Of its 10.000 strong, over
70 are rice eaters and 30
wheat eaters. While tasting the
cooked Bulgor one of the officers
remarked that "Eating rice
makes you feel heavy. One
hour's hard labor and you are
hungry again. For our 70 rice
eating forces we were looking
for some way to gradually get
them away from the more pro
tein giving wheat, and we see
in Bulgor wheat the answer to
our search for a full wheat rat
ion for the forces."
