Our Daily Bread
|. Its EVOLUTION.
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

Breaul How much the word means
We pray for 1t as the symbol of al
/ that we need to save our bodies from
weakness and DEATH We eat it in The
sweat OF our faces under the first Di-
vine command. We break bread witt
friends, and we measure the depths ol
| poverty when we say that the beggal
had not crust The staff OF life, il
is called, and the honor is not unwor-
thily bestowed.
Yet for all that bread is such q com
| mon thing, we see it every day and we
take it as such matter of course
that few of us think of its history. We
might begin with the grain fields and
taking wheat alone, follow that year
| round harvest that never ends. because
| somewhere the wheat is bending to the
| sickle every day In the year. We might
begin with the story of the peoples
that have eaten their grain crushed
and baked the bread eaters and diff
ferentiate between them and the peo-
i, pies that have eaten their grain whole
and boiled, the rice eaters. We might
sweep through the social and econom-
ical history of the whole world. and
in all these things find only the foun-
dations for the history of bread.
But for this series of letters III will
be enough to confine ourselves strictly
to bread, it's uses and the methods of
its preparation. There is enough of a
story in that
From the time of Abraham. who
baked bread for the angels on the
plains of Mamre, thousands of years
ago. down to the present there has
been in every land some preparation
of baked dough which served the pur-
pose of bread. The earliest bread was
of course most simply made, being
only a mixture of meal and water
baked in the crudest way. The first
breads We're nnleaNened, but the fact
that in the time of Lot, mleavened
bread was mentioned indicates that
even then there We're the two kinds of
bread in use,
The modern bread as known in
America and in the. better classes of
European homes, represents the high

opment of what has long been consid-

apt to be found as the product of the

To large degree the bread of q
community is determined by it's eco
nomic conditions. In this country New
England has always been dependent
upon the loayes of bread which could
be eaten cold and kept for a number
OF days because the New Englanders
nave always been compelled to consider
the cost OF labor and also because the
wheat raised in that region was best
adapted to making good raised bread.

Mr. Clews says:
We are now in the harvest sea-

crop reports will be Of emial if
not greater Importance than The
money market, the Influences of
which have already been partially
discounted. August is always a
critical month for the growing
crops, and more or less deterora-
ton is the rule. During the past
week considerable injury has been
reported to our two largest crops
corn and cotton. The damage
to corn has been estimated as
high as 300.000,00 bushels, which
would bring the total crop down
to 2,700 900, 900 bushels This is by
no means an unsatisfactory Weld.

and the probabilities are that the
damage has as usual been some
what exaggerated. Fortunately,
the corn crop is generally early.
and there is still time for consid-
cradle recovery. especially as the
plant is in less than ordinary dan
ger from early frost. As to wheat
we are already assured bumper
crop of 75O,0O0.000 bushels. The
injury to the cotton crop has not
been definitely ascertained, and
the probabilities still remain for
large yield in view of an increased
acreage and satisfactory general
average condition. While early
optimistic expectations regarding
the harvest may have to be some
what modified, there is no reason
TO anticipate any Serious injury

1t is estimated that the use of white
raised bread has increased in this
country fully 25 per cent since the
year 1900 One of the factors in the
development Of good bread is the yeast.
Formerly this was an article of un-

quantities by the bakers for their own
use and by housewives themselves.
