perts in Kansas City

rated the testimony OF previous witnesses
10 the effect that the process OF bleaching
flour lessons the food value of the flour.

of flour and that he could detect the diff
ference between the bleached and un-
bleached product by the odor.
On cross-examination he was asked to
smell sample of flour and tell whether
It was bleached or unbleached. He refused
to submit to the test unless two samples,
one Of bleached and the other Of un-
bleached flour were given him at the
same time. This was not done and the
test was not made
The witness admitted that there were nj
trates in the air AMI that bread made from
unbleached flour in a kitchen where gas
or coal was burned might absorb nitrates
Dr.. Hamilton p. Jones of New Orleans

Oats Crop Alone shows
Hopeful Prospect.

Estimates by grain men throughout the
state indicate that the wheat crop this
year will not be more than 60 per cent as
large as last year. 1t is estimated that
the total yield for 1910 will not exceed
81, ,00OO 600, while last year it was about
Sc, 900 900 bushels.
The reason for the expected shortage is
attributed to the lack of rain at the time
1t was needed and to the fact that many
OF the plants have been winter killed. An
other reason given is that the warm
weather of March had bad effect. Farm
ers who have been interviewed by repre-
sentatves of local elevator companies say
that the wheat did not stool or thicken
properly because of the weather conditions
This means that the straws will be short
and not as heavy as usual.
