Bell Notes Far East Need For Oregon-type Wheat PENDLETON Edwnrd J. Bell, ndmlnlslrntor ol the Oregon Wheal Commission, Pendleton. Hearing the termination ol his year's leave of absence from that position, said today Indications nre thnt rice economy nations of the Far East arc In the market for an Increasing amount of wheat and flour. Bell was back in Pendleton last week niter directing for a year the efforts of the U. 8. to strengthen the agricultural economy ol Ihe Philippines. He left Saturday for Washington D.' C, where he will make his report on tho year's ac tivities. On Aug. 31 he Is to be back In Pendleton to assume his former duties ns ndmlnlstrator of the Wheat Commission. Bell noted encouraging trends In the lncrcnsing uso of flour in the Philippines and in Jnpan.

OTiEfiON More Beef on the Table From Tailor made Grasses Hy HOHKItT V.. Ol lf.KR AH Newifeatures Staff Writer The United States Is putting the production ol farm grasses and legumes on an assembly-line basis after years ol trying. Scientists hnve known for years they could tailor food crop seeds lo meet climatic and other growing conditions found In various parts of the country. Home years ago Ihey mudi; corn resistant to disease and Increased Its production tremen dously through seed breeding. Now turmers produce tlirec-lourllin ol a billion bushels more corn on lo million fewer acres than before. The seed breeders knew they could Improve grass seeds too, but the big problem wan to produce enougn of me improved seen. Large-scale seed production wns more of a problem with grasses than with corn. For one thing, farmers need tremendous quantities of grass seed every year even greater quanti ties when they nre advised to re place old pastures w'lth more ef ficient grass. After breeders crossed varieties and produced a better grass, It took yejtrs to proauce tne minions of pounds of seed farmers need. It bus been estimated, jarmers will need well over 100 million pounds of allalfa teed next year. It might take 15 or 20 years under old methods to produce enough seed from a new alfalfa variety operating for quick production. The alter breeders developed 11. Now, under n new system, the state experiment stations, commer cial SQCdmen nnd the U. 8. De partment of Argrlculture are co operating for quick production. The new plan promises to produce tal lormndc grass nnd legume seeds for each region In record time. The Kentucky experiment station produced 11 new red clover, called Kenland. Agricultural experts say II could be of tremendous economic value In many states, where dis ease or weather conditions make it difficult to grow forage for live stock. But In Kentucky and near by regions only 60 to 120 pounds of the new seed could be har vested from each acre planted with eight pounds of It. Also, it took two growing seasons to get a good seed crop. The experts discovered that by sending seed to western states. where growing conditions are ex cellent, only eight-tenths of a pound of seed produced more than 600 pounds of seed per acre. Be cause the growing season was longer, these 600 pounds were pro duced In one year's time, not two. A new red clover called Cumber land was released in 1938 to Jarm ers. But seed production was by older methods. Ten years later only 800 000 pounds of seed were avail able, far from enough to meet de mand. Kenland red was released in 1947 and Just four years later. In 1951, more than four million pounds ol seed were available. C. S. Garrison, a government grass expert, estimates 35 million pounds can be on the market in the next couple of years. Experts say the fact thnt new varieties are nvallable or in the making for every region of -the country holds great promise for NEW TRAILER HOMES Agency far SPARTAN-PONTIAC I CLIPPER NOW ON DISPLAY Bslsiger Motor Co.

The United States has more thnn a billion acres of pasture and range lands, the greatest block of all agricultural acreasge. Any nuu stantlal improvement in its effici ency would boost national welfare, lliousands more head of livestock could be produced at lower cost. A committee has been set up 10 help government ofllclaln handle the nationwide program. Its Job is to decide which varieties most de serve to be increased, and then see to It that they are placed on the production line. Most of the seed growing Is done In western states. Here are some of the varieties that have been or are being tailor made for various regions: liiiutlieantern States: Coastal Ber muda grass: Kentucky 31, a tall South Alrlcan and a Georgian Ber muda grass, developed from a fescue for winter pasture: white and crimson clover and Climax.
