 Tells How Bread Can Be
 Made with Maximum All lowance of Wheat Flour

The solution of several trying prob lems in the work fthe food adminis- tration marked a meeting of county food administrators held at the office of the state food administrator yester- day.
 Fears that the bakers would not be able to cope with the situation growing out of government orders cutting the wheat flour allowance to six pounds per person per month were set at rest by W. E. Doty, a practical baker Of Miami.
 Not only would the bakers be sue cessful in making substitute breads, declared MT. Doty, but many of the lesser problems in connection with the trade were cleared up. The weevil problem is one of the many which has arisen in connection with the use of corn meal. The speaker declared that Weevlls can be prevented by simply storing the sacks of corn meal in such manner that they are surrounded with ample air space, and by dusting orr the sacks once a month. Plenty of Iresh hops, such as grow wild in var lous parts of Arizona, can be utilized to prevent the appearance of the pest. MT. Doty told of the wonderful or ganlzatlon of the master bakers of America At a recent conference he represented the state of Arizona. This association has formed a National Technical service committee which has formulated plans to the end,
 (a) That no baker shall waste wheat from lack of knowledge as to how to use cereals. l (b) That no baker shall waste wheat by unnecessary experiment. (c) That no baker shall waste wheat by not understanding the rules of the food administration.
