NEW ZEALAND WHEAT.
UNSUITABLE FOR BAKERS. CHRISTCHURCH, December 1. Local wheat ie not good enough for modern methods of baking bread, said Dr F. W. Hilgendorf in an address to farmers. . “It is really the Arbitration Court that has forced us to grow better wheat,” he said. “ The Arbitration Court says that a baker shall not commence work earlier than 4 a.m., or, if he does, he has to be paid extra wages. No baker can afford to send a man into a bakehouse at 2 a.m. Therefore, he must have a quicker process. Flour that used to suit the old process will not stand our quick processes. ■This kind of baking requires different wheat. Bakers cannot make a satisfactory loaf out of the wheat we are growing, and so they are importing wheat from Canada and from Australia. We must grow wheat good enough ourselves to keep out other wheat.”
