Bread Diet Goal Promotes More Wheat Consumption
At a Chicago nutrition meeting attended by R L Patterson chairman of the wheat commission, leaders from mills bakers nutritionists and wheat groups discussed boosting per capita bread intake. Patterson said bread consumption rose for the first time in 31 years and a plan to add one more slice daily could lift it further. A national foods and nutrition group may form with the goal of a broader program across the wheat industry. The American Institute of Baking is investing 600000 in related work and a nutrition workshop is planned for fall or spring with committee members named from Wheat Flour Institute and American Bakers Association.

No Reduction In Surpluses In Soil Bank Forecasts
Washington reports the Agriculture Department forecasts a wheat crop that could add to existing surpluses, despite a soil bank program paying farmers 230.8 million dollars to idle nearly a quarter of their wheat acres. If realized, the crop may raise surplus by about 20 million bushels while the program would have kept a larger potential yield from entering markets. Current surplus and reserves run about 960 million bushels against 950 million bushels forecasted market needs.
