fa., Japanese
Governor Milton J. Shapp and
Agriculture Secretary Jim
McHale recently, met with two.
key figures in Japan’s
agriculture trade effort.
Keiki Owada, director general
of the Agricultural Policy
Research Committee in Japan, is
the man who drafted the Land
Reform Bill for his nation in the
post World War II years. That
world famous bill was worked out
under the leadership of General
Douglas MacArthur.
Owada, a world figure in
Japanese agriculture for 30
years, said that 17 per cent of
U.S. farm exports go to Japan,
making the Asian nation by far
America’s largest farm
customer
“In 1970,” said Owada,
“American agricultural exports
to Japan totalled $1.2 billion
dollars, in the same year Japan’s
agricultural exports to the U.S.
came to only $4O million dollars.”,
The eating habits of the'
Japanese have changed morei
dramatically than those of any
other nation in recent years.
Owada foresees the Japanese
demand for U.S. farm products!
continuing at high levels because,
of the change. He does not foresee
his nation’s agricultural
production rising to its increasing
needs m the near future.
Accompanying Owada was
Tadao Yamasaki, director of the
department of Public Affairs for
the Japan Trade Center, the

When painting furniture or

floor, just “skate” it off.
This saves your shoes and
back, too.

Prices were generally un
changed on large and mediums,
slightly higher on smalls. Of
ferings are excessive on most
grades and sizes. Some country
shipping points are willing to
negotiate prices in efforts to
establish clearances. Street
trading is light and many outlets
are buying on a minimum needs
only basis. Carton movement is
fair. Midweek advertised retail
promotional activity was
generally light locally although
trade sources indicate more
features are anticipated early
next week.
McHale said they are deeply
concerned with farm income and
production in the Commonwealth
and are touching base with state,
national and world leaders in
agriculture in efforts to help the
Pennsylvania farmer.
Shapp noted that Pennsylvania
has the largest rural population
in the nation. He called attention
to the fact that the state also had
the largest outmigration of any
over the past 10 years.
Of the 400,000 people who left
the state, 357,000 were from rural
areas.
