MEAL IN FLOUR.

The adulteration of wheat flour with
c-rn meal is Il method of cheapening the
cost of bread that seems to be growing in
favor. The Chicago Tribune says: ''The
enforced economy made necessary during
the last few years has undoubtedly en-
couraged IAN important substitution of
corn fol wheat IA breadstufr Even
when the disparity between the prices of
corn and wheat was less marked than at
the present time, the substitution of corn,
particularly in the adulteration OF wheat
flour, began to attract general attention
In milling processes the proportion of
corn flour which wheat fiour will carry
without much danger of detection has
been greatly increased during the last few
years. There is an apparent desire on the
part of millers to withhold data on this
subject. notwithstanding the whole
someness OF products of the great Amer
lean cereal, it must We admitted that the
great part of the corn which has been
put into consumption has masquerade
under guise of wheat flour.
The consumption of corn as food for
human beings is greater in this country
than abroad. 1t is particularly large in
the South, and it is safe to say that "a
great part Of the flour milled for the
Southern trade during the last Two years
has carried Il full quota of corn" Bat
why should "the Southern trade" paw
Northern mills. for flour adulterated with
meal? The South raises enough corn and
wheat for its own bread, and il ought to he

fers such II mixture.
If "a great part of the flour milled for
the Southern trade during the last two
years has carried n full quota. of corn"
and that, too nj pure wheat flour prices,
Southerners would do well to buy their
flour from hone mills exclusively. But
the question arises, do the Southern mills
adulterate their nours with meal? Or
have they caught On to that Yankee
trick?
