BREAD
Sir,-I read with interest your article on "Bread." If New Zealand grows 80 to 90 per cent. of wheat required, 1 think with reasonable care that could be made into 100 per cent. Even during these war years I have many times been astounded at the amount of bread thrown out to dogs and_ fowls. ‘It migfit be said that fowls must have something; yes, but why trouble the miller and the. baker when it could be given ‘s wheat? I have seen whole loaves thrown out because they were a bit stale. I watched one woman throw out a 4lb. loaf and then make scones! I am acquainted with a woman whose work takes her into "many homes and she asserts that in nine out of ten homes crusts are‘ thrown out. We must be well off in New Zealand. I would like to disagree when you say that New Zealand flour makes bread equal to flour which is reinforced by a ‘percentage of Australian flour. I made bread for eight years, which was considered by many to be very good, but for years now it does not make the grade. Perhaps my hand has lost its. cunning. Has any other home _ breadmaker had similar results?
