FLOUR—A COMPARISON.
AX address on the subject of “Flour” was delivered by Mr \\. Cotton, at a meeting of the Mel-
lington Central Chamber of Commerce the other evening. Comparisons were made by the speaker between Australian and New Zealand wheat and flour, and the superiority of the former for bread-making was emphasised. Mr Cotton related some of the troubles which bakers have in making good bread from New Zealand flour. He advocated the removal of the existing restriction on the importation of Australian wheat. In his opinion, New Zealand should cease growing wheat for bread-making. Wheat might be grown here for other purposes than bread-making, or the land might be utilised for the growth of other products. Alluding to a recent unsuccessful experiment in the cultivation of wheat in the Wairarapa, he remarked, “You might just as well send a man to Invercargill to grow grapes as send a man to the Wairarapa to grow wheat.” Mr Cotton produced samples of Australian and New Zealand flour and of bread made from the flour, to illustrate his contention as to the superiority of the former.
