WEIGHING OF BREAD

AN INSPECTOR WANTED. (By Tclczranh— Press Association i ' Ghristchurch, October 19. Representatives of the Canterbury Master Bakers' Association waited on the Hon. G. W. Russell and asked that tho weighing of bread by the Government inspector should) take place in the dough before the loaf was made, instead of in the loaf, which is liable to deteriorate in weiglit after being weighed by the baker. The Minister said the question of foodstuffs was most important. He had ordered a campaign throughout the country, and had found tliat tho public was being shockingly robbed at a time when bread had never been at a higher price. It seemed to him that organisation amongst those engaged in the trade was required. The Government must be in a position to guarantee to the public tliat if they paid for a four-pound loaf there were four pounds of bread in it. The proposal made by the bakers was impracticable; for one thing there would be no check on dishonest bakers. The only satisfactory weighing check was oil the finished article.

Society's schedulo this year is the musical stalls competition oit the second day.; It has been decidcd to take post entries for this class, and it is hoped that titers will bo a well-filled competition, as sew eral inquiries have been received. ■ A Mairawatu farm is advertised b.v Messrs.- Miller and Rutter, Wellington, for exchange for a smaller farm.
