QUALITY OF FLOUR CRITICIZED
(P.A.) NELSON, November 22. The poor quality flour supplied to bakers throughout the Dominian was blamed by judges for the fiasco which occurred in the New Zealand championship bread competition for bakers at the Nelson Agricultural and Pastoral Show.
“The best loaf in the show this year, the one which won the New Zealand championship, was not as good as the worst exhibit in the bakers’ bread classes at the last Nelson show,” was the comment of the judges, Messrs H. P. Forster and Russell Freeman, in a joint statement after their awards had been made.
The judges contended that the poor quality was not the fault of the bakers who from 10 towns in New Zealand made entries, but was as a result of the quality of flour supplied to them, which was not up to the standard necessary for baking first class quality bread.
The championship award went to Stacey and Hawker (Christchurch). That firm also gained the certificate for runner-up. The certificate for third place went to C. J. Callaghan (Westport).
