Loaves Size Will Be Out to Cut Bread Weight
Washington May 28 Smaller loaves of bread will be required to weigh 10 percent less starting Saturday as the Agriculture Department enforces a federal order to aid famine relief. The measure, backed by the international food conference, aims to stretch wheat by diluting with other grains. Prices will stay the same, despite the weight reduction, and federal authority may supersede conflicting state or local minimums during the emergency.
