Uore on the farm problem:
The Oregon Wheat Growers
League is sending its executive
tecretary, Richard Baum of Pen
eUetta, to Japan to set up a
Wheat promotion and consumer
ducation program to obtain
more customers lor Oregon's
Wheat.
UpHE program will include four
main projects:
1. Purchase of demonstration
' truck, equipped with kitchens
nd3 loud speakers, for use by
Japanese home economists in
demonstrating wheat foods in
balanced meals.
2. Preparation and distribu
tion of educational materials on
nutrition, emphasizing the value
of wheat foods.
3. Displays and demonstrations
mowing the value of wheat
foods in Japanese diets.
4. An advertising campaign
stressing the value of wheat
foods.
The primary purpose of the
program is to teach the Japanese
to EAT MORE WHEAT. It will
be financed in part by the wheat
growers themselves, through a
wheat tax of a half cent per bu
shel, and in part by the federal
department of agriculture out of
funds obtained by sales of
surplus wheat. .
fPHAT IS to say:
t4- The Oregon wheat growers,
who are dirt farmers, WANT
instead of being stashed away
year "after year in government
warehouses to pile up storage
e charges and hang like a dark
thundercloud over the markets
of the future.
HOW ABOUT the Japanese?
They have something to gain
out of it, too.
RICE IS the principal food of
the Japanese. Most of them
eat several bowls of it at each
meal, supplemented scantily by
fresh and salted fish and vege
tables. They eat very little meat,
because they can't afford it.
The Japanese (nearly 80,
000,000 - of ethem) can't grow
enough rice on their relatively
small and quite mountainous
islands to feed themselves. In
- th pre-war past, they obtained
-the remainder of their supply
by importing from various Asian
mainland countries. But these
countries are now dominated by
tha Communists and Japan and
the Communist countries aren't
yet on trading terms. So the Jap
anese have to supplement rice
With some other grain. Wheat is
their next best bet.
Hence this effort on the part
of Oregon wheat growers to
teach them to eat wheat. It.
sounds like an enterprise that
will result in mutual benefit. If
it works, it will get MORE
WHEAT CONSUMED.

Shah Of Iran Deals Blow Jo Russia With Move Favoring West
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Correspondent
Iran's handsome, democratic
young Shah has given the Krem
lin quite a blow.
Just when
Russia has em
barked on a
new campaign
of penetration
in the Middle
East, Moham
med Reza Pah
levi has cast
his country's
fortune with
the Western
C haries McLuu nma.
It took courage for the Shah
to abandon Iran's long-standing
neutrality.
In doing so, he has defied
Russia, Iran's neighbor on the
north, and made it. plain that
he puts no faith in Russian pro
mises.

colors the kind that go into
black, brown, gray, steel-gray,
blue and white mink coats.
SO LADIES
If you've been yearning for a
pink mink coat, with a special
little prayer that you might get
one before the other gals do, you
may as well give up now.
Science has spoken and in
these ultra-modern days science
has the last word on everything.
FR WOMEN only:
. Women who pine for a PINK
mink coat might just as well
quit pining. On the wor,d of an
expert, there never will be a pink
mink or a red, green or purple
one;'
Dr. Richard Shackleford of
the University of Wisconsin has
told the Upper Michigan Mink
Breeders association that all
basic colors of mink have been
achieved. He adds that efforts
will now be concentrated ,on de
veloping tones of the basic mink
CJPEAKING OF purple minks
(which, Dr. Shackleford says,
never can be) reminds one of
Gelett Burgess, a writer of jin
gles, who authored this little
quatrain back in 1895:
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather SEE than BE one.
It was published in the Lark,
and caught on in a big way. It
was copied all over the world.
Burgess got a lot of ribbing out
of - it especially from people
who associate purple cows (along
with purple elephants) with too
much indulgence in alcohol. Five
years later he wrote another
quatrain and, being a citizen
of the world, he entitled it Cinq
Ans Apres, which is French for
Five Years Afterward:
Ah, yes, I wrote the Purple
Cow ,
I'm sorry noy I wrote it! .
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'll kill you if you quote it.

He has strengthened greatly
the vast interlocking system of
Allied defense treaties against
Communist aggression. Iran was
a missing link.
The decision was the Shah's
alone, for he now runs Iran.
He has the complete loyalty
of the army, he has his most
trusted friend as premier in
Hussien Ala, and he has the
complete support of his Parlia
ment. It was only two years ago
that old Mohammed Mossadegh,
who had made himself dictator
as premier, overthrew tne anan
and sent him into exile.
Shah Returned
It didn't stick. The Shah was
brought back in triumph. Mossa
degh is now weeping in his cell
in a Tehran prison.
In the two years since 1953,
the Shah has succeeded in mak
ing himself the undisputed head
man.
He prepared the way for Ir
an's adherence to the West by
settling the bitter dispute, with
the Anglo-Iranian Oil company
after Mossadegh nationalized it.
Now he has taken what for
his country is a historic step.
The news that has come from
Tehran was foreshadowed late
in September when President
Celal Bayar of Turkey paid a
state visit to Mohammed and
Ala. .
Ala announced in Parliament
Sept. 20 that "we must take
steps for closer cooperation with
our friends." He ridiculed the
idea that Iran could remain neu
tral. - x
"Only those who aim to de
vour us can want us to be un
prepared and weak," he said.
He meant Russia.
The Shah followed this up,
in almost the same words, in a
speech to the Senate last Satur
day. Shows Courage
The Shah, who will be 36
years old on Oct. 26, has. shown
his courage. He is quiet, unas
suming and friendly. He is try
ing to improve his country's liv
ing standard, and has, set an ex
ample by starting to break up
his own vast estates and give
them to peasants.
He became Shah in 1941, at
21, when his father abdicated.
He was driving through Teh
ran on Feb. 4, 1949, when an
assasin fired 'six shots at him at
close range. Every bullet but
one passed through his helmet
or his uniform. The remaining
one went through his upper lip.
He remained outwardly calm as
if the bullets had been blanks.
With a loyal country, happy
with a strikingly beautiful wife,
the Shah is a lucky man. The
West is lucky to have him as an
lally.
