Hutchinson made this statement
today in replying TO queries as 10
why brcnd prices had not gone down
along with the return Of wheat 20 "A
pre-war level.
Even IL wheat were 20 fall con.
siderably below the present figure.

At the present time. Hutchinson
declared. every bakery in Seattle is

which cannot be remedied for months
70 come.
Under these circumstances" he
continued. 1T is extremely doubtful
II the price OF bread can ever be
reduced very materially. Certainly
u will never go back 10 . nickel a
loaf.
The reason for this Is simply
that we are giving the public far
better bread than II ever had be-
forc--and quality costs money. The
publicA would never permit a return
TO the archaic. insanitary conditions
under which the scent loaf was pro
duced
But then Seattle really isn't IN
such had way when II comes to
bread. The latest government re.
port shows that the average retail
price here IL 90 cents for pound
loaf--which IN a good deal less than
most Of the other cities are paying.
And this in face Of the fact that Sc.
atile bakeries pay as high "a wage
scale as any other city on the Coast
possibly the highest IN the coun-
try. Portland and Spokane. for in.
stance. pay n scale which seems rid
iculousiy low In comparison.

just how big this labor item Is thru
the fact that our average weekly

CORRECTNESS or SEPARATOR
Minnesota Farmer Discovered He Was
Losing 364 Pounds Of Butterfat
Every 80 Days

Defects in the separator will, In the
course of time, make heavy inroads ON
the dairyman's receipts from butterfat
For instance, the testing Of skim milk
to ascertain how the separator Is
working is not regarded important by
some dairymen. But in the case Of
one herd of 35 cows In Minnesota,
which produced 1,2O0 pounds Of but
terfat last June. the skim milk was
tested and found to be carrying OF
1874 pounds of real butterfat every 30
days. This is vouched for by l.. ".
Wilson, agent in dairylng for the uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
with headquarters at University Farm.
"Thls farmer" says Mr.. Wilson, "pur-
chased a new separator the next day
after the skim milk was tested. This
incident ought to be sufficient lesson
for prompting many others to deter
mine the accuracy Of their separator"
