Ore. wheat exports
have bright future
The world's most populous
counlry--China-"ould become
one of Oregon's biggest cash
customers for its soft white
wheat.
"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

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

paychecks for payment to the
