BAKERS MAY PUT
UP BREAD PRICES
EAsTERNERs LOOK INTO THE
MINNEAPOLIS SITUATION.
Louis J. Kolb Of Philadelphia Says
Change Must Be Made If Flour Prices
Remain -Pittsburg Baker Also
Confers with Local Men. ,t

Louis J. Kolb of Philadelphia, mem
panies in the country and former presi-
dent Of the North American Associa-
ton Of Master Bakers, is in Minneapolis
today. Mr.. Kobe Is accompanied by
James B. Arthur, leading baker of
Pittsburg, Pa. Later in the day Paul
Stern, the Milwaukee baker, came in
and went to the office of William M.
ence here of number of men so prom
lnent in the baking trade gives room
for the inference that there may be
something doing soon by way Of an
adjustment of the abnormally small
margin now existing between prices Of
bread and prices Of flour.
nd1 are d9fng Vma %
the greatest bull wheat markets seen
for many years carried wheat up SOC to
40c bushel. Flour followed, but
bread did not, and it is hard PROPOSE
ton to make bread from flour at pres
emit prices, and sell the bread at IN
changed prices and get rich at it. For
months the bakers were undisturbed by
the rise, as most of them had flour and
could hold off and wait. But the time
has come when they are face to face
with the necessity for price readiust-
ment.
Pittsburg is the only city that has
advanced bread prices, but Mr.. Arthur
says Pittsburg was relatively cheaper
than other points and the rise was only
in the nature of evening up.
eff present -four prices are to be
maintained,' said Mr.. Kolb,S" then the
loaf must become lighter or the price
must advance. 1t is that, in case of
absolute necessity, smaller loaves will
be dealt out in the east. We are just
about up to the point where this matter
can no longer be ignored.'
The Minneapolis bakers have not this
alternative. They may advance prices,

there was a corresponding fall in the

Until balancing Of accounts is made
we will be unable to tell whether there

but from past experiences I would say
that a great many. people substitute
something for bread when the price OF
flour goes up. These substitutes take
the form Of cornmeal cakes, breakfast
foods, and more liberal supply OF
vegetables.
Vas a matter of fact these house
hold economies represent more of loss
to the householder than a gain. It is
estimated that an ordinary person con
sumes a barrel of flour a year. When
this is bought in small sacks the addi
tional price is noted, but it's true rela
tion to the whole is not seen. An or.

for tobacco than the additional flour
price would be in year,

SOIL IN GOOD CONDITION
More Than Half Of Minnesota Cor
Crop Saft from Frost.

Weather and crop conditions in Min
nesota for the week ending yesterday
are thus, summarized by Section Di-
rector 7. s. Outram in the bulletin of
the weather bureau:
Light rains were general over the
state on the 18th, and, except in the
southwestern counties on the 14th. The
nights were generally cool, with light to
heavy frosts reported on the morning of
the 18th and in various portions of the
state on the 18th and 18th. Except for
some injury to garden stuffs and to low
land corn in the southeastern, central
and northern portions, no damage was
reported from these frosts.
Stacking and threshing in northern
counties were delayed, owing to the
rains, and some injury resulted to grain
in the shock, due to dampness. Thresh-
ing generally is making good Roadway
with oats, barley and fax yielding well
while wheat yields ares light and low in
grade. From one-haf to two thirds OF
the corn crop Is safe from frost, and cut
ting is general; there are prospects Of g
very fair crop in most sections OF the
state.
+ Potatoes are in good condition in the
southwestern and western portions, bu,
the rot is increasing in the eastern coun-
ties. The second crop of clover Is being
secured and 1t Is fair crop. Buck
wheat Is ripening. The soil is in excel
lent condition and blowing Is general.

BIG LESSON IN
THE WHEAT CROP
NORTH DAKOTA LEARNS WHEAT
ISN'T WHOLE THING.
Despite the Light Yield, F. B. Wood
Says Other Crops More than Make
Up the Ditference-A Plan to Copy
M1nnesota's Primary Law Meets
Strong Opposition.

Even in what is popularity supposed
right. This is the good word brought
by F. B. Wood Of Edwards Wood com
pany, who has just returned from a
two weeks trip northwest. More and
more the big, new state is approaching
the fact that wheat isn't the whole
tying crops to an extent that makes
a light wheat crop a minor drawback.
GAS a whole, North Dakota has
never been more prosperous than at
present." said Mr.. Wood this morning.
''To be sure, their. wheat will only av-
erage about ten to twelve bushels an
acre of rather poor quality. I should
No. or rejected. Should the present
prices be maintained, the farmers will
realize more than the average amount
Of money for their wheat crop. :
"This, however, is far from being
the total of their assets. Their fax
crop is as good in quality and yield as
they have ever raised an acre. Their
100 bushels an acre and good quality.
Their barley crop is good, the potato
crop large and the apples are luscious.
The corn crop-think of North Dakota
having a corn crop!-is large, too. .
"All in all North Dakota is, gener-
ally speaking, exceedingly, prosperous
and a very wonderful state, with won
derful resources, and, surprising as it
may seem, farm lands are rather &C
tive at advanced prices. What a. re-
markable change since I helped break
that prairie twenty-one years ago! I
believe that in twenty-one years from
now the best farm lands will be SELL
ing at 800 an acre and be adorned
with beautiful homes.'' T"
In political way, Mr.. Wood says
that one of the principal topics now
a primary-election law similar to that
Of Minnesota. Those who asked him
how the law was regarded here were
strongly advised to work against such
a measure.
IT told them,'' said Mr.. Wood,
on the individual candidates for nomi-
nation and didn It accomplish it's -pur-
pose anyway. I believe the law opens
the way for candidate with no quail
fications whatever to get on the ticket
simply by free use of money, and
defeat man who really would make a
good officer. Several of the prominent
men with whom I talked have this idea
and will work against the proposed
change, not because they are profess
siona1 politicians, for they are higher
than that, but because they want to
make it easy to get good men in

be held Saturday. The withdrawal of

will undoubtedly enter the race and H.

that the old way is preferable.
