Young Card is a capital sample of the

he wore a gray sweater over his neat

SEEKING FIT MARKET
FOR MACARONI WHEAT
Rapidly Growing American
Grain Needs an Outlet.
REPORTS MADE BY C0NSULS
Worldwide Inquiry Undertaken by
Department Of Commerce Brings to
Light Interesting Facts.

For the purpose Of finding a market
for the rapidly growing crops Of Ameri-
can macaron wheat. the Department
of Commerce and Labor recently in
structed United States consuIs in differ
ent parts Of Europe to find out where
such wheat is used. and what oppor-
tunities there were for it's introduction
INTO countries where il is not used The
results of the Investigations have been
made public in the consular reports.
IT is shown that the wheat is used in
matchmaking in Germany, where a
market exists that can easily be en-
larged. The cOnsuls give the addresses
Of persons to whom samples ana prices
should be sent. The Germans at pres
ent are importing their grain from Rus
STA. The same is true of the conditions
in Belgium. Italy. of course, is report
ed to be the best market for the wheat.
and Consul General De Castro asks the
Agricultural Department for samples
Italy is also buying her macaroni
wheat from Russia
Japan Wants Samples.
Japan uses a great quantity Of home
made macaroni. known as udon. and
it is made from native wheat. as the
american BAKER hour IS not strong
enough. The consuls report that the
Japanese manufacturers have given at
tention to the proposition TO import
wheat from America. and they are ask
ing for samples. A good market exists
in the Netherlands. and samples are
asked for. Russia being able TO grow
more Of this wheat than she can use
herself. no market exists for the Amer
lean wheat in the realms of the Gar
An excellent market exists i'm Spain
Prices. however, are low. Wheat now
used is imported from Russia In fact
the official statistics show that Spain
last year imported only $50 tons Of
wheat from the United States. while
from Russia she purchased 4s. 40s tons
Nothing Doing in Scandinavia.
No market. so the reports assert, ex-
lists in Norway and Sweden. The pros
pect Of creating a market in Switzer-
land Is discoura ging. Little or no mac
aroni is made in the United Kingdom
but IL is said a market can be created
there for the wheat 1t is thought a
ms g'Set can be built up in China and
the Far East
The investigation is one of the first
worldwide affairs Of the kind the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor has
undertaken. 1t has proved to be a sue
cess.

Italy has already indicated. through its

any expression on the subject, but their
action is of little consequence.
1t was expected that Europe would
not hesitate TO extend a welcome to the

milton of Panama by South American

it was presumed the action OF the
