PRICE OF BREAD.
To the Editor. Sir, —The restricted sale of wheat and the present price of bread seems to occupy a good deal of attention of members of the Southland Farmers’ Union. If the quality of wheat grown in this province is equal to that grown in Canterbury and the Oamaru district members of the Southland organization may have good reasons to complain. If the quality is inferior why make such a song about it? Whenever this wheat question crops up some members cannot resist the temptation to have a fling at the baker about the price of his bread. Whereas the farmer can grow sheep, oats, milk cows and sell milk, the baker has only one finger in the pie. A Mr Crampton stated that bread was far too dear. As neither he nor I is the maker and vendor of bread, he can perhaps tell me by what means can the price of bread be reduced and would the flour made from Southland wheat compare with that grown in the north?—l am, etc., BREAD AND BUTTER.
