Export programmo offer non-durum
Colored pencil
wheat to Algeria
class slated
Sales of nondurum wheat to
Algeria w ill be the first initiative
offered under Ihe I>epartmrnt of
A g ric u ltu re t $2 b illio n export
enhancement program, according to
Secretary of Agriculture John K
M m k
Block said the sales w ill involve up
to one million metric tons of wheat,
including the bonus quantity pro
vided from Commodity Credit Cor
poration stocks to enable the U S
exports to compete at commercial
prices in the Algerian market All
wheat classes other than durum w ill
he eligible It represents more than
one third of Algeria's estimated
wheat import needs and $117 million
in additional sales for the I'nited
Stales in 1985
This action meets the two
criteria which I outlined when
announcing Ihe program last
month.' Block said
‘ First, it
represents an additional sale for the
I ruled States in Ihe world market
At Ihe same time, it is targeted to a
market indenlified as one charac*
terued by unfair trade practices by
a competing nation ”
Block said the L'S share of Ihe
Algerian wheat market has fallen
from 41 percent in I *79 an to an
estimated 16 percent in 1984 85
During the same period the
European Community, with its pro
gram of export subsidies has in
creased its market share from 2»
percent to an estimated 59 percent
Block reemphasized that L'SDA
remains fully committed to market
oriented international trade policies
The export enhancement program
is not one we would freely choose,"
he said It is a risky yet necessary
step Me see it as a counter to unfair
trade practices in the presenl. and
as an encouragement to trade talks
in the future

g My neighbor saved ashes from
her wood stove last winter and is
spreading them on her garden this
summer She says she saves energy
in two ways When she burns wood
she doesn't use other fuels
And
using ashes for fertilizer means
some manufacturer doesn’t have to
produce so much fertilizer
I ran
understand that she may be saving
some energy by using ashes, but I
wonder if they really are good for
her garden
W K . Albany
A AS a matter of fact, they arc
particularly if she has acid soil low
in potassium
It you d like more
information, you might want to send
tor a copy of the Oregon Slate
University Fertilizer Guide. I sing
W ish ! Ashes in the Home Garden
It tells which types of wood produce
the I m ' s I fertilizer, how to apply wood
ashes, and which plants ashes
should, or shouldn t. be used on

How do I remove loam
Caulking from wood siding’
tin
thinking of the kind that comes i a
pressurized can
The prev ious
owner of my home used it to plug air
leaks around the doors and windows
hut did a sloppy job I in painting
the house and want to remove the
caulk and do a neater job
R W .
Pendleton
A To remove foam caulking (rom
siding slice it away with a single
edge razor blade until it's flush with
the surrounding surtace Then sand
off any caulking left on the siding
you can then paint over foam that's
left in the crack It the surface of the
loam is a little rough, you can
smooth it out by spreading a thin
layer o( paintable caulking over it
with your finger
In the luture. when you recaulk
your doors and windows, evaluate
the advantages and disadvantages
ol using loam caulking While it is
difficult to apply neatly and about
impossible to remove if it dries on
skin or clothing, it may be more
cost effective than latex, butyl or
elastomeric caulks a head of (oam
caulk w ill expand to double its width
to fill a crack this makes it mint
suitable lor crack and gaps wider
than one quarter inch
Since loam is so hard lo remove,
use it first on leaks that aren't in
plain view
For example, gaps
where plumbing penetrates the wall
under the sink Find out how much it
