HOME BAKINGOMAHA BAKER ADVOCATES BREAD MAKING BE EXCLUSIVELY IN HANDS OF BAKERSSUCGESTS PLAN ASCONSERVATION MEASUREFirmer President of National Baker*' Association Says Housewives Waste 200,000 Barrels of Flour Annually Which Bakers Would Save—No Economy in Making War Breads.Special to Tiiiicn-Republican.Ames. Jan. IS.—That all bread baking be taken out of the hands of housewives and turned over to professional l akers was a war measure suggested to the Iowa bankers assembled at Iowa State College for their annual short course by Jay Burns, of Omaha, former pre.s:dent of the National Rakers Association.It was thought by Mr. Burns that the baker could bake bread with le*a flour, less sugar and less shortening, better control the yeast fermentation anri produce bread better in texture and keeping qualities than the average housewife. In Europeon countries now at war. bakers are producing 95 per cent of the bread, while in America they arc baking but 40 per cent. It has been estimated that the housewives of America waste 200.000 barrels of flour each yc'ar which bakers would save.Wheat flour substitutes will make bread with higher food value and higher caloric \alue than whcut flour. Dr. J. A. LeClerc. of the bureau of chemistry of the United Staten department of agriculture, told the bakers. There are now enough substitutes available in each community of the country to enable us to save the flour, providing we use them. In Iowa and the corn belt, corn, barley and oats can be used. In some sections, banana flour is available. In the southwest there Is an ample supply of fcterlta and kafir flour.No Economy in War Breads.There !s no economy in using war breads, declared Dr. LeClerc. but there Is conservation. As things stand now. people will not buy the Mib-rtUuto broads. The solution to the problem Is so to regulate the grain market that the substitute bread?! will be cheaper than the wheat bread.All unanimous opinion was expressed by the fifty bakers at the short course that the war bread made of flour with 74 percent kernel is satlsafctory. They declared that as high as 83 per cent could be used with entire satisfaction.Trof. C. H. Bailey, of the University of Minnesota, has been In charge of the regular instruction at the short course, assisted by members of the Iowa iState College faculty. It was given under the direction of the engineering extension department.EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX.Story County Towns Taking Measures to Stamp Out Disease.Special to Times-Republican.. Nevada.
