Station Manitoba Wheat in English Bread An English baker writing of the difficulty of making good bread from all English flour states that the ambition ofthe advocates of the all-English flour loaf will. be curbed in two ways. The large majority of bread buy- ers want a bold good-looking loaf. and that cannot be produced solely from Englsh wheat flour; further, if such were used gen. erally it would be wholly absorbed three 'months after harvest. The finest bread procurable is made from 50 per cent Mani- toba wheat flour, 25 per cent English, and 25 per cent Australian; the first gives "strength; " produces a big bold loaf and absorbes moisture in a high degree, and for these purposes is essential, having no equiv- | alent, English flour adds flavor; and Aust- ralian, color. : The advent of large mills at the ports, he says, has gone far to extinguish the English country mill on which farmers used to rely. These large mill having secured Manitoba wheat, scour the world for cheap wheat to reduce their average cost. English wheet is forced into this category, and farmers, to effect sales, must accept relatively low prices while the defect in color is rectified by chem- ical treatment, the most favored of which is the use of chlorine gas; and to further reduce the cost 2to3 per cent of water is added bya spraying plant. The resultant loaf is not palatable, and the public is admittedly eating less bread. _ The first and simple remedy to be applied is to make the chemical treatment of flour illegal: the next to put a-10s per quarter tax on all imported wheat not grown within the Empire. A loaf cannot be made from Mani- toba wheat flour alone; it must be reduced in "strength. " To attain this the mills would be compelled to use a proportion ot English or Australian wheat. | that Cartwright should have | work myself.
