Nearlv Mil the decline ' was In w hile wheat. Teal said hard red winter wheat exports dropped a little over 15 million bushels while dark northern sprint? wheat shlpmenlM increased nearly 275 million bushels. He explained that larger wheat crops In most countries have led to less pressure for PL 40 purchuscs from countries Mich as India. Pakistan and Korea. 1 Public Law 4S0 covers sales for loreinn currency and long-term credit sales). India and Pakistan are grow InK dwarf varieties and usinc more fertilizer with resultlnw hicher yields. Other ma. tor exporting coun tries, such us Canada, Australia, and Argentina, also have more wheat to offer In competition to U. S. wheat. Teal said. Kor ex ample, Australiu iwreased its acreage of wheat this year when farmers seeded wheat in sheep pastures destroyed by drought. Losses In wool Income from reduced sheep flocks arc recovered more quickly by growing wheat than ly rebuild ing flock, he added. In addition. Australia Is us ing more nitrogen fertilizer and irrigating more land. Teal said these changes should produce an all-time record wheat crop in that country. It all adds up to a tough marketing situation for North west white wheat in the future, according to Teal. Foreign aid In the form of concessional sales for foreign currencies or long-term dollar credit was re sponsible for the export of near lv KK) million bushels of white wheat In the 1967-68 marketing seasons. While all of these exports will not be lost during the cur rent season. Teal expects a de crease which could result in large carryovers next July 1. Some estimates of the carry over of soft white wheat run as high as 40 to 50 million hushels, Teal noted, even though India and Pakistan are expected to purchase wheat af ter Jan. 1, 1969. .

The fore casted flow was 29.000 acre feet or 30 percent of the 1918-62 average flow, which Is 97,000 acre feet. . Precipitation at Pendleton from September 1. 1M7 to Aug ust 1. 19(18, was reported as 57 percent average by the U. S. Weather Bureau. August rains increased this percentage only slightly to 61 percent average. A winter of unusually heavy snow accumulation will be needed if the 19t9 water sup plies are to be satisfactory In this region.
