Grain Import Hike
Oregon Wheat Growers League
and Wheat Commission were
hosts to an outstanding group
of government personnel and
flour millers from Taiwan last
week. The group spent two day
in Portland visiting with the e
porters, state and federal grain
inspectors, the docks and other
RC&D projects, surface minlnR
reclamation, and Improvement
of the economic status of small
farmers and rural Job opportu
nities. We are going to Intensify ef
forts to expand the development
of school sites for use as con
servation learning laboratories,
and our work with organizations
where we have common object
ives in conservation education.
Special efforts will be made to
hlcp SCS personnel in the field

ant to them.
The balance of the week was
spent In Umatilla and Union
Counties obscivliis barge load
ing, combines, pea harvest,
grass seed harvesting and coun
try elevators.
They Informed local growers
that they expect to Import 100,
000 metric tons more this year
than last year. This will bring
their total Imports to 21 mil
lion bushels a year of whlcn
well over 90 will come from
the U. S. Taiwan became a cash
market January 1, 1967.
The group was very emphatic
that they would increase their
Imports from the U. S. for two
reasons: 1. friendship and 2..
grades in this country are more
reliable than competing coun
tries. At present they are using
a blend of 40 Western White
and 60 red winter. They ex
pect to keep this blend in fu
ture years. About half of their
imported wheat is used in com.
mercial bakeries and the other
half In the homes.
The visit to the United States
Is part of an intensive market
development program that the
area's wheat farmers help pay
for. Here again Is the develop
