"That's jiint one reason why the future of Oregon wheat exports is brighter than ever," said Ivan Packard, adminis trator of the Oregon Wheat Commission. "And that's good economic news for the whole stale, not just for wheat growers!" Packard was part of a panel discussing the future of Ore gon's agricultural exports, in the recent Pendleton meeting of the Association of Oregon Counties. Oregon's soft while wheat is the state's most important agricultural export, generat ing more than $1 billion for the economy every year as it travels from farm gate to export terminal, Packard continued. Because Oregon wheat pro duction is high this year, and liecause 85 percent is grown for export. Oregon is regarded as arnotig the world's most reliable suppliers of soft wheat, said Packard. Oregon's customers include Japan. South Korea. Pakistan. Bangladesh. Iran. Egypt, and others of the Pacific Rim and Southeast Asis,- And now ( hind. Since norma lira! ion of rela tions with the United States, China has Ix-come the fourth largest export market for U.S. agricultural products-among them $1.1 billion in wheat. Even though China grows more wheat than the United States, it still isn't enough to meet the needs of its one billion people. Last year, China bought 518 million bushels of wheat as part of a recent grain-buying agree ment with the U.S. And that amount is expected to grow, said Packard. In the meantime, the U.S. wheat industry is working bard and fast to develop a strong wheat market in China. Just this fall, a model bakery-school, sponsored in part by the U.S. Government and the wheat industry. w,n opened in Peking. Also planned are a flour mill and an instant noodle factory. At the same time, the United States and U.S. wheat indus try are working to convince the Chinese that the TCK smut Nov. Consumer Price Index indicates food price decline The consumer price index released recently by the U.S. Labor Department indicates food prices fell 0.2 percent in November (before seasonal adjustment) according to As sistant Secretary of Agricul ture William Lesher. This is the second consecu tive monthly decline and reflects a pattern of generally lower farm commodity prices over the last half of the year, he said. Large supplies and lower prices for beef, pork and poultry were the primary source of the decline. As a result, food prices in Novem ber averaged only 4.8 percent above a year earlier. Downward pressure on farm and wholesale commo dity prices in recent months fungus.- which occasionally invades Northwest wheat, is not a threat to Chinese health or the wheat Industry. The U.S. government and industry are sponsoring two Chinese scientists Vho are working with the U.S. project to control TCK smut. Through . the research, the U.S. project is gradually convincing the Chinese that the smut fungus cannot survive in the growing conditions of their country, Packard reported. The sale of Oregon wheat overseas will grow, said Packard, but probably not at as high a rate as recent years. One reason is that competitors such as Argentina and Aus tralia may increase their production. And the increase of Chi-nese--and other countries imports of Oregon wheat may depend partly on the availa bility of foreign exchange in a depressed world economy said Packard But as China becomes more industrialized and develops more products for export, it will create more currency of its own for the purchase of wheat, said Packard. The Oregon Wheat Commis sion was formed in the early I9.r0's to improve wheat re search and promote markets for Oregon wheat. The commission is funded by farmers with a self-imposed assessment on wheat grown. Seasonal jobs offered by Forest Sen Applications for next year's summer and seasonal jobs in the Forest Service are being accepted until January 15. 1982. Applicants may submit only one application nationwide to a Forest Service Regional Office or Research Station. Applicants must be at least 18 years old at the time they report for duty and must be capable of performing ardu ous work. Jobs that will be available in the Pacific Northwest Region of the Forest Service (Oregon and Washington) are: Aids and technicians in forestry, range recreation, fire control, engineering, surveying, and biological, physical, and and seasonal increases in food supplies in the fourth quarter will continue to dampen retail food price rises through the end of this year and into the first quarter of 1982. The over -all increase in food prices for 1981 will be near eight percent, with the farm value of food increasing very little, Lesher said. This will be the third successive year in which food prices have risen less than the general inflation rate. "Farmers will need higher prices in the future if the nation is to be assured of an adequate food supply at rea sonable prices," said Lesher. Prices for food at grocery stores fell 0.4 percent, while prices for meals at restau- IRS to raise interest rate on back taxes Borrowing from the gov ernment by not paying federal income tax bills is becoming an expensive proposition. That's the message Internal Revenue Service is sending to nine thousand Oregonians who collectively owe nearly $17 million in back taxes, said a news release from IRS. According to John Doss, Chief of IRS collections for Oregon, effective February I, 1982, the annual interest rate charged on delinquent taxes will rise to 20 percent.' Previously, it was 12 percent. Coupled with an annual six percent late payment penalty, delinquente taxpayers can be charged up to 26 percent for not paying taxes. Doss said that this inform ation is being mailed in letters to 9.000 Oregonians with delinquent income, employ ment and excise tax accounts. They are being advised of a special telephone service in Portland. By calling 294-5185, delinquent taxpayers can find out their current balance. This telephone service began January 4 and will be available through January 29, operating from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. To use the telephone service, taxpayers need to provide their tax identification number, the type of tax. the tax year, and the date they intend payment, said Doss. The change in interest rate was created by the Economic Recovery Act of 1981 which requires that IRS recompute the rate every year. It is based on 100 percent of the average prime interest rate for the month preceding each hydrological sciences. For other positions such as clerks, wage grade (labor ers), rappellers. and smoke jumpers, applicants should contact a National Forest or Research Station unit directly for information on when, where, and how to apply. All applicants will be given equal consideration without regard to race, color, sex. creed, or national origin. Education, work experience and availability will deter mine an applicant's chance for employment. Application forms (FS6100 23) are available at all Forest Service offices and must be postmarked no later than January 15. 1982. to be considered. ranis, cateierias, and oilier eating establishments rose 0.3 percent. Prices for red meats fell I.I percent, the result of a continued high slaughter rate. Poultry prices fell 2.2 percent, influenced partly by very large supplies and sharply lower prices for turkeys. Changes In prices of other foods were m i xed . Prices for fresh fruits were down 5.3 percent as citrus supplies increased seasonally. Fresh vegetable prices were up 1.3 percent, while prices for sugar and sweets, fats and oils, and nonalcoholic beverages all declined. Cereal and bakery jroduct prices rose moder ately, reports the USD A" of the November Consumer Price Index. October 15. The new rate then goes into effect on February 1 of the following year. Additional penalties can also apply in special circum stances. For example, there is a flat 25 percent penalty for claiming tax deposits that were not actually made. This most often applies to Employ ers Quarterly Federal Tax Returns which report social security and income taxes withheld from employees' paychecks for payment to the govvernment, the news re lease concluded.
