With regard to the Pacific
Northwest, Mann regarded in­
creased orders from the Orient
for more and more wheat in
addition to normal exports as
meaning that the region is going
to have to meet this demand for
soft, white wheat with greater
production.
"This tells me,” he said,
“that we are at the turnaround
because when the first wheat
goes to the People’s Republic
of China from this country, it
is going to be that soft, white
product that they want, too, and
800 million people can eat an
awful lot of noodles."

AGRICULTURE DIRECTOR
PREDIOS BILLION NEW
CUSTOMERS FOR FARMERS
Oregon Director of Agricul­
ture Irvin Mann, Jr., on Sep­
tember 5 told The Dalles Lions
Club that a billion new cus­
tomers for United State:, agri­
cultural production has brought
this nation to a turnaround in
farm policy.
Recalling the philosophy of
artificial scarcity born of the
depression and of isolationism
born of the first world war,
Mann said that recent trade
developments in relations with
Japan, Russia and Red China
have brought a turnaround from
a contracting, controlled farm
•conomy to a dynamic, growing
farm economy
“We are rapidly establishing
fruitful trade relations with the
% Union of Soviet Socialist Re­
publics and President Nixon has
visited Peking, the capitol of
the People's Republic of China,
we will soon be establishing
trade with them. The Japanese
nation has the most favorable
balance of trade in its his­
tory and is so affluent that
it is actually looking around
for means of spending money
in order to aid our balance of
trade,' Mann explained.
The director said that this
represents more than a billion
new customers and that this
reversal of form can't happen
without changing
the
whole
direction and thrust of our eco­
nomy, particularly our farm
economy.
“So It is not just happen­

Asked about highlights of the
workshop, one trainee was most
impressed by the methods of
teaching such diverse subjects
as number s, colors and science
through music. Another com­
mented on need for art and
its role in culture, presented
in the sessions. Others spoke
of the music, which included
classical guitar and various
forms of folk music.

Bievele Death*
Higher riii-*ear
More people have b< < n killed
in bicycle-motor vehicle acci­
dents so far this year than
died in all of 1971, the Oregon
Motor Vehicles Division re­
ported today.
Fourteen bicycle riders, ran­
ging in age from six through
51, have died in collisions with
motor vehicles In 1971, 12
died during the entire year.
Increased popularity of bicy­
cling among adults is reflected
in the deaths, the Division said.
Last year and in most previous
years, bicycle deaths were most
frequent in the under 15 age
group.
This year
half of
the deaths have involved those
15 or under.
Eleven of the 14 bicycle
deaths have occurred in the
last three months.
August traffic killed 63 people
in Oregon -- 33 fewer than
died during August a year ago.
Despite the much improved Au­
gust record, traffic deaths in
the state are still seven per
cent ahead of last year with
491 reported for the first eight
months of the year.
