Portland (U.R) "Pacific Northwest wheai growers were confronted Saturday with pos sible loss of one of their major overseas outlets for the region's soft' wheat. Japan hs been buying up to 40 million bushels -of wheat a year in the Pacific Northwest. And now the Kyodo News Serv ice. Japanese press association, says Japan has decided to quit buying U.S. wheat and buy Aus tralian wheat. The report was quoted ii the daily bulletin of the Portland Grain Exchange. The report said that Foreign Minister Nobusultre Kishi told reporters after a meet ing of the new cabinet: "It is not appropriate to continue the past policy of buying American farm surpluses. The policy needs re examination." Japan changed governments last week. The report came as a surprise both to the Oregon Wheat Grow ers league and to the U.- S. De partment of Agriculture. The league and the USDA for sev eral years have been working with the Japanese government on educational promotion pro grams to increase consumption of wheat in Japan. In the national capital, Clay ton Whipple, deputy director of USDA's foreign agriculture serv ice, said he was not inclined to take Kishi's statement at face value. He aid he hadn't heard anything official yet, but: "My first reaction is that this may be a bargaining technique of the new government. They may want a better price, or some concessions on- goods shipped to this country.". , Lots of FREE Fared Parking ADM. C00 Quotes From the Hews By UXltlD PRESS L Havre. France. Capt.

Fancv chow hounds are I promised something exotically different in the way ot mouln watering grub this coming year. It bears the highly unlikely label of the Mau Mau kect. In time it's barely possible this new bird may relegate such gourmet specialties as squab, pheasant and partridge to the barnyard classifications of plain old chic ken. The main introduction this new Mau Mau bird a wild, white guinea hen of the Kenya Colnnv East Africa is Douglas Hertz, a so-called retired 72-year- old soldier, horseman, and one time owner ot the New York professional football team. Ten years ago. Hertz intro duced the Cornish game heit to the world and now it is be ing sold across the country by the millions. As for the guiiwa fowl, Hertz would be the first to tell you that there isn't anything new about it in ancient times, Roman considered it i gr?at flelicacy; the Creeks used it for sacrificial ceremonies: aril in the Kmiya Colony, it was and still is a common staple of the Mau Mans. What's new about the present high-hat Mau Mau Keet (the keet is the designation of the fowl's young) ? For one thing, a guinea-flavored bird has never been brought to eating maturity at an aae before five .to six; weeks; the gamy flavor is not only retained but also' enhanced by a secret diet .all of which produces a Alau Mau bird with rich gamy succulenee and dark meat of a baby-like tenderness. Many Intangibles . Although Hertz has already brought ten of thousands of Mau Mau birds to marketable age there remains many in tangibles. "I still do not know for sure how many, eggs & year I can get from the brood hens possibly only 60 as compared to up to 260 from the Cornish game hens. What's more, I still don't know if the eggs from this cross will prove fertile or how much their foofl bill will be'. I'm atill experimenting. And most unpredictable: Will these Mau Mau birds catch on with the public? It took my Cornish name hens over ten years io really capture the public fancy. Now I produce 1.250.000 a year!" Never have chicks or I , ihould say, keets had it so good. They are not overcrowded. They are kept out of drafts. No ' stale, dusty leftovers for these I growing birds. They are given : measured. complete portions , every two hours, on th down stroke. When night falls, lights are kept on until 8 in winter.

The food is varied, to keep their interest, with various flavored mashes and these young Mau Maus are particularly fond of a splash of sweet black - strap molasses.

During the Mau Mau's life on the fa.rm, it only sees one man and in a duster. The care taker must change his outer clothes and disinfect his shoes each time. What success the ftfau Mau keej will have with the public, remains to bee seen. By this spring. Hertz will have 50,000 birds ready at his Cornish Game enough to introduce them at bet ter restaurants and gom-met stofes . . .
