PLENTY OF WHEAT
NOW STORED IN BRITAIN. ANTICIPATION OF GOOD HARVEST. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 9. The Minister of Food, Lord Woolton, said today in reference to bread. “We are in a position now that we do not know there is a war on. We have wheat in such supply that at times we do not know where to put it.” The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Duke of Norfolk, said in the House of Commons that it was too early to make a definite statement whether the British harvest results would be retarded by the unfavourable weather, but he expected them to show a striking expansion in production. The efforts of the farming community would then have had the dual effect of adding very materially to the supplies of staple food and guaranteeing a high degree of efficiency in winter feeding stuffs for animals. _____
