featuring barley -four according to H.
j. Hutton, of the. Mystic Milling Com
pany, unless the government ruling that
went into effect limiting the fat con-
tents Of barley to IL per cent Isl
changed. For weeks millers have beer
experimenting but it is said that bar.
ley flour can not be produced contain.
ing less than ~ to 2k per cent fat.
TT is the opinion of millers in Sious
City," said Mr.. Hutton, that all mills
grinding barley will have to close be-
cause the rule based on fat contents
can not be complied with" Chemical
tests made by the mills show that they
can not make barley -four containing
as low a fat content as ~ per cent.
Millers. say this is the first time that
the government has asked them to per-
form the impossible, without qualify
ing the order in some respects. The
purpose of the government in cutting
down the fat content is said to be be-
cause Of the fact that a large per-
centage of fat reduces the keeping
quality of the -four. fMillers assert that
flour can be made with 2ls per cent lat
without endangering keeping qualities.
