WHY WE IMPORT WHEAT
“N.Z. GRAIN NOT GOOD ENOUGH”
BREAD-MAKING METHODS Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. “New Zealand wheat is not good enough for modern methods of baking bread,” said Dr. F. W. Hilgendorf in an address to farmers yesterday. “It is really the Arbitration Court that has forced us to grow better wheat. The Court said that the baker should not commence work earlier than 4 a.m. or, if he did, he had to be paid extra wages. No baker can afford to send a man into the bakehouse at 2 a.m., therefore he must have a quicker process. “The flour that used to suit the old process will not stand our quick processes. This kind of baking requires a different wheat- The bakers' cannot make a satisfactory loaf out of the wheat we are growing, and so they are importing wheat from Canada and from Australia- We must grow wheat good enough for ourselves to keep out other wheat,’* he concluded.
