Since the early days of durum wheat production there usually has been an active foreign demand. The development of a domestic market did In not keep pace with production. recent years, however, large mills have been constructed for grinding durum wheat exclusively, according to the United Statea Department of Agriculture. This Industry now uses about half the average annual production.
