Top Farm Products Key to Retaining Overseas Markets
Washington AP describes how U S foreign trade experts urge emphasis on high quality farm products to keep overseas markets open. A trade mission led by Arthur M Cummings visits Caribbean and Central America to advise wheat exporters on needs for red high protein wheat for bread making. It notes western Europe buyers now seek precise wheat quality specs and warns of losing markets without such wheat. The piece also reports farm labor hours falling to 10.7 hours daily by June 1 and mentions a Friday referendum on extending federal marketing quotas for the 1959 wheat crop with two thirds approval needed.
