MANCHESTER BAKERS AT BIG
MEETING.

Thomas McKeag and B. G. Hall were
at Burlington, Iowa, last week where
they attended the Mississippi
Master Bakers convention, and re-
turned home the last of the week, af-
ter getting numerous pointers on the
food situation.
Promise that If the American wheat
crop goes to $50 millions of bushels
this year it will be possible to return
to former standards of milling and
baking, and reaffirmed purpose to
combine for the patriotic realization
Of the governments program of food
conservation were the outstanding
features of the convention of bakers.
The message about the wheat crop
came directly from Herbert G. Hoov-
err, federal food administrator and was
repeated by his friend, w. G. Edgar,
of Minneapolis. In the meantime, Mr.
Hoover cautioned the bakers that ev-
en- higher percentages than the rs per
cent. Of substitutes now required in
the making of white bread, may be-
come necessary. To this suggestion
the bakers of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri responded by resolu
ton passed unanimously to comply
in letter and in spirit with all sug-
gestions from the government.
The bakers Of these states, in COM
mon with those of other states, are
combining in service committee
whereby the knowledge and expert
ence of anyone is available to all.
This will result in the dissemination
Of technical knowledge of the baking
craft, without parallel in industrial
history.
A feature Of the Burlington conven-
ton was a display and contest among
the bakers in the production of Vic
tory loaf. The competition was very
close. In the opinion of experts many
Of the loaves entered were in every
way equal to bread made from pure
wheat flotr. Some 60 so far as to say
that a certain percentage Of other GER
eals will be employed in baking, even
after the war.
The bakers Of this community and
consequently the public will have the
advantage of knowledge and sugges-
tons gained at Burlington last week.
