For Northwest
Wheat Exports
Exports of soft while wheat
from the Northwest have Wen
imrticularlv hard hit In the

According lo Rav Tea . Ore.

wheat out of the NorlhweM fr
Julv and August dropped to JT5
million bushels from Hi; 3 J
million bushel exported durliiR
the wme period In 17.
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.

Preliminary data from the
U. S, Geological Survey Indicate
the observed flow of the Uma
tilla River at Pendleton for the
May through September period
was 28.700 acre feet. 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.
As forecasted lor me siaiu

short in most areas. The out

winter brings a superabundance
of deep mountain snowpuens
with water content greatly in
excess of usual amounts.
