At the Master Bakers Conference being held at Greymonth, a paper by Mr \Y. J. Boa cl i whs read by Mr Heaton Barker, extolling the use of dried milk in bread manufacture. Due to the propaganda of scientists and food faddists, stated the paper, the healthfulness of white "bread had been doubted and this had meant a considerable drop in the bakers’ output. By tdic use of dried milk, the vitamins extracted from wheat during the milling of white flour were restored to the finished loaf and the extra cost of the dried milk was discounted hv half, through the extra weight which the milk gave. Graphs were used to illustrate the lecture which was heartily applauded. Delegates present then gave their experiences with the milk, one stating that using it he had not been able to make a loaf that was not “green..” Another stated that he had used the milk for years and was thoroughly satisfied with it. Tt was impossible, however i.ll his opinon to tell the difference between bread made with the milk and that which lacked it. The benefit to be derived from the use of the milk was that the baker had the satisfaction of serving his customers with bread more nourishing than the ordinary.
