AUSTRALIAN FLOUR
Sir,—We have heard a good deal about tho necessity of our bakers obtaining Australian flour, but I do not remember that we have heen told that the flour is guaranteed not to be (•upplied from wheat stacked in the districts "in Australia where the mice have been infesting the stacks. If you have any information as to where the flour is coming from, I am 'sure many of your readers will feel relieved to know that what they are taking into their eystems is free from the disease which attacked the men in Australia who were working on the wheat stack. —I am, etc., ANXIOUS. [From inquiries we have made it would appear that there is no need for alarm as to the quality of the flour coining to this country from Australia, or as to the quality of any of the flour milled in this country from Australian wheat. The wheat purchased by the New Zealand Government was of the best quality procurable in Australia, and was very yood wheat indeed. There is much wheat in Australia which is so infested with weevil, i-r fouled by mice, as to be absolutely filthy, but it would be quite impossible to use this wheat for milling.]
