China seen as a growing market for U.S. grains and soybeans WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. gram sales to China this year could top 8 million metric tons, up significantly from earlier ex pectations and slightly above 1980, according to Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Richard £. Lyng who is heading a joint government industry grain team in China. Lyng also said longer term prospects for U.S. grain sales to China are promising. His remarks came at a press conference following a week of meetings with leading Chinese government and industry officials. Lyng said U.S. gram exports to China totaled about 7.8 million tons m 1900, including 6.1 million tons of wheat and 1.7 million of com. Total U.S. agricultural exports to China more than doubled in 1960 to |2.2 billion, which represented 50 percent of all U.S. exports to China that year. “Another good performance is ♦ At HBStS FARM & Hn Bottom line Cost ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ @® . f mmm CP 56 • 56” Fan • White Enamel • 20,500 CFM • 5 Year Warranty • 2 Speed: Low-4 AMP„Hi-9 AMP • Control Not Included CALL FOR QUANTITY DISCOUNTS HOMELITE'S BEST Model ST 80, Reg. 129.99 seen for 1981,” Lyng said. China’s Vice Premier Yao Yilm, chairman of the State Planning Commission, told Lyng his country will continue to rely on gram imports over the next few years to allow for faster development of light industry, more efficient adjustment of agricultural production and an increased standard of living. However, Lyng said China’s imports probably will be limited to about 15 million tons over the next few years, based on his discussions with Chinese officials. Lyng’s team is in China to try to develop specific., plans for ex panding use of U.S. {grains, im proving trade, servicing, and determining the likely level of Chinese purchases from the United States over the next few years. “The Chinese have expressed great interest in improving and expanding the number of uses they WHISPER COOL VENTILATORS Reg. 529.99 < CEILING CIRCULATING FANS Sizes Available: ★ 36" ★ 48" ★ 56” SALE *99." ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Hone SUPPLY, b Voar SAVINGS! • Cool and Ventilate your attic at no extra operating cost • 12” Turbine • With Base ECTIBAN TRIAL OFFER •1.99 $7.00 Value Sprays 2,000 Sq.
