proportionate degree of skill In the manag-
ing of his business He has a big investment
at stake and he must not only know how to
sell, but when and where to buy, what prices
are right, and he must have executive ability
into the bargain, as the baking industry
today is conducted on a large scale Like
all other big business men, bakers have in
stalled cost accounting systems, so that the
leaders In the industry saw the approaching
necessity for price readjnEtment and set
themselves to work to prepare for It,
AS a result of their analysis OF the situa.
ton, the campaign In favor of ten-cent
loaves. which has been going on for the last
several weeks, was inaugurated This is be-
cause in baking approximately 46 per cent
or all costs are in the nature of overhead
charges and these are proportionately less
in the larger loaf than in the small one.
The immediate cause for a readjustment
in bread prices Is the woeful insuffciency
of the 1916 wheat crop coupled with the ex-
traordinary export demanded for that cereal
growing out of the war in Europe Accord
ing to government authorities this years
acreage was only so per cent of that of 1915
and this acreage has yielded as low as so
per cent or the crop in a great deal OF the
United States wheat lands
Bad Winter and Dry Summer, Then Rust.
Many things combine to reduce the yield,
among them bad winter and dry summer,
but most damaging of all was the black rust,
which made its appearance in the Dakota,
Minnesota and Montana wheat fields. Black
rust to great many people is only a name,
but to the farmer who has staked his all in
crop OF wheat it is very real and very ugy
evil Prof w. G. Slower, of the Ohio State
University, one of the grain experts of the
Middle West, says rust is fungus growth
of very simple structure and parasitical
habit. 1t attacks the leaves and stems most
ly At first there are numerous postules or
reddish brown spores. Later black and
brownish spore masses are formed on the
same parts and these give the name black
rust to the disease.
In many wheat growing sections black
rust is by far the most serious disease OF
the wheat The disease is spread from plant
to plant and from farm to farm by means OF
these spores, which are of the same use to
the rust fungus as seed is to other plants.
Rust annually causes loss to wheat in the
United States ranging from s15,00000o to
$60,0O0,00O.
Another cause that is added to the high
cost of wheat, according to other experts,

"In summing up the situation, the house
keeper who manages her house in the most
successful and efficient way, when she finds
that she can free herself from large num-
ber of hours of manual labor by putting the
work into the hands of others equally and
even better prepared to do 1t, she will do
30 at once and use that time for work which
can not be trusted to others. She will give
IL to her family or to those who need her
most. For the housekeeper who must count
every penny, regardless of the amount of
labor involved, l think she, too, will find
that her time may be spent In other ways
that will yield her greater saving OF money.
That So hours spent in sewing or perhaps
out of doors will yield her far greater
return than the 70 cents which is the great
est difference she will get and even in max
ing that estimate there has no allowance
been made for any spelling by failure in any
way and taking it for granted that all the
bread made at home from barrel Of flour
is of equally good quality. The baker does
not put his failures on the market, you only
pay him for his best"
What Distinguished State Official Says.
Another authority equally distinguished so
far as the baking industry is concerned, is
Dr. H. E. Barnard, State Food and Drug
Commissioner of Indiana, and one of the
best known authorities on food values in the
United States. In a recent article written
for the New York Evening Mail, he says:
Homemade bread can not compete with
the bakers product. Ten years ago 1t was
a courageous baker who would invite the
public to his shop. Today the baker who
does not throw the doors open to his criti-
cal customers Is out of date and he can not
get credit at the bank. l do not want to
persuade the housewife to stop baking
bread, but after she has visited modern
bakeshop think she will"
DIR. Barnard has also done little investi-
eating on the question of a ten cent loaf and
in another issue of the same publication
says:
Ten cent bread is perfectly logical and
its use will profit both the public and the
baker. The public will get more than twice
as much bread for a dime as 1t will for
nickel 1t will have better eating and keep
ing qualities and there will be but two heels
instead of four. Perhaps you don't waste the
heels, but most people do
"The grocer doubles his profit with one
handling. The baker saves on fuel labor,
wrapping expenses, delivery costs and ad-
vertising. Ten cent bread Is an economical
proposition to everyone. The buying habit
is an economical proposition to everyone.

bakery. And in the further discussion am
speaking of the large bakery which is able
to give the most of the best bread for the
least money because of quantities of ma
terial handled, and who Is reliable and de-
pendable and honest, and many such exist.
l am taking 1t for granted that the house
keeper who will consider the question at all
VIII be ambitious enough to see that her
bread is coming from a clean, reliable ba-
kerry. In the old, small bakery the baker
was forced TO use red dog" -four and in
ferior materials in order to come out with
profit The modern bakery sends the -four
which Is the best to the top of the building
and there 1t is rebolted and sifted through
fine silk cloth. This the baker has another
purpose in doing. but 1t results in the -four
being cleaner for his bread than the house.
Keepers is. After this it Is not touched by
the hand until you unwrap it at your home.
Second: the baker can mix his flour to
make perfect texture, color and flavor,
which depend on the amount of gluten and
Its quality. The housekeeper can not give
the time to the testing and grain grading
that is necessary to perfectly blend the
fours, to get the proper ratio of ingredients.
Third: in the rising bread there are three
acids which develop and have @ marked ef-
feet on the fermentation Tactic, acetic and
butyric acids. The Tactic acid is present in
the largest quantities and should develop the
most rapidly. II the dough reaches too high
temperature, the acetic acid develops too
anu CAUSES an over percentage OF
butyric acid which results usually in sour
bread. At too low a temperature, Tactic
acid increases too rapidly with harmful re-
suits. The baker ferments his bread in au-
tomatically controlled temperatures and the
housekeeper even of years experience can
not hope to compete with him on this plane.
Things Housekeeper is Unable to Control.
Fourth: the amount and strength of the
fermentation plays a part in the flavor OF
the bread, the appearance and food value.
The baker kneads and beats his dough me-
ehanically usually for at least thirty min
utes. This dissolves or softens the gluten.
The housekeeper is dependent on the yeast
fermentation for this and must continue the
fermentation longer than the baker, thereby
losing larger amount of the sugar and car
bo-hydrate in the form of alcohol and car
bonic acid gas. The amount of salt has
much to do with the fermentation, acting as
check. The baker uses salt in quantity for
flavor and uses a stronger yeast This the
housekeeper can not control, either. The
baker considers that the most important con-
troll OF favor is the amount of salt used and
the strength of the yeast.

ls the failure OF American farmers 10 prop
erly fertiliZe their fields. C. f. Thorne, heao
OF the Ohio Experiment Station at WOOSTER
Ohio, in an official bulletin, says: Less Ia
fertilizer would enable Ohio farmers to grow
as much wheat on 100000 acres as they are
now growing on 100000 acres"
Each official monthly report OF the De-
partment of Agriculture since the first OF
June has decreased the estimate of the
United States wheat yield until 1t Is now
approximately 100000, 900 bushels and more
than 40O,O00000 under the 1915 yield AS
the annual consumption is very close to 600,-
100000 bushels, this would mean that there
should not be single bushel exported II
prices were to remain at the 1918 level
But already millions OF bushels have been
exported and millions of other bushels have
been booked for export, so that the price of
wheat, and as a consequence the price OF
-four has continued to soar until they are
now at q level unknown since the days of
the Civil War.
No Good to Bake at Home.
This has resulted in some we'll intended,
but misdirected, effort to induce tie house
wife to bake her own bread. 1t W mis-
taken idea that such a change might result
in economy to the family. Official investi-
cation along this line comes far from bear
ing out this supposition. A miller who ap-
pealed recently to Miss Anne MacGregor
Payne, director OF the Home Economics De
partment of one of the leading papers in
Ohio, was given the benefit OF exhaustive
research and experimentation which show
that only by turning out an inferior loaf
could the housewife do as we'll as by buying
bakers bread, while il she attempted to pro-
duce loaf as good as the best bakers bread
1t would cost her more to make it at home
than to buy it.
On a basis of New York prices, Miss
Payne found that in buying the bread baked
from a barrel of -four, the housewife was
paying only 27 cents for the labor involved,
II she bought 1O-cent loaves and 70 cents IL
she bought 5cent loRves. Allowing three
fourths of an hour for each four loaf batch,
Miss Payne found that the "A bakings in a
barrel of -four would require 81 hours OF
time and that this labor at a minimum rate
would have a market value of $11 40.
Miss Payne's deductions are further sub.
stantiated by the Journal of Home Econom-
les of July issue, which made q survey OF
the same subject. Taking up the claim that
the saving of money is not necessarily the
only point to be considered in comparing
domestic baked and commercially baked
bread, Miss Payne says:
ut is necessary to know and understand
the modern bakery methods and machinery
as compared with the old basement type of
