WHEAT GROWING STATES
ATTACK BAKERY TRUST

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE new
super-bakery trust is opposed by the
milling interests and governors Of
wheatgrowing states. The large pur-
chasing power of the new trust
frightens the millers, who will be
forced to lower prices when a pur-
chasing agent who has at his disposal
an order for 100000 barrels Of -four
appears on the market.
The millers also object to the
trusts plan to secure new business
from the housewives of the country.
It is stated that so per cent OF the
nations bread is baked in homes.
This is a profitable field for millers
because the distribution Of -four by
sack through the local grocery store
is done at much higher price than
If that -four is sold in bulk to the
