Mr. Hoover indicated no effort would
be made to encourage use of mixed
flour containing other cereal prod-
ucts than wheat since experiments
have shown such flour does not keep
well. Neither will the administration
ask housekeepers who bake their own
bread to mix flour, but will seek in-
stead to have them observe one
wheatless meal a day a week. Restau-
rants and hotels which use about fif-
teen per cent of the total bakery out-
put will be asked to have one wheat-
less day a week. The food admin-
istration estimates that about forty
per cent of the bread production of
the country is in commercial baker-
ies and sixty per cent in homes.
Objects of Regulations.
Milling standards now requiring
manufacture of about 72 per cent of
the wheat grain into flour, have been
found most efficient, from considera-
tions of health and keeping qualities
and probably will not be changed.
"The requirement that all broad
.shall be baked in multiples of one
pound," Mr. Hoover said, in his state-
ment announcing the forthcoming
proclamation, "has several objectives
—economy in labor of baking and
economy in materials as small breads
are. more wasteful in baking than
larger units. The bread remains fresh
longer in larger loaves and there will
be less loss of stale bread.
"Furthermore, a standard weight
will protect the consumer. At pres-
ent the tendency is to adjust the j
weight of the cost of the bread in an |
J endeavor to maintain a unit of price. J
I If bread is of fixed weights, the con- {
j sumer will be able to determine at
jonce the cheapest bread, of which he
lis now incapable because of the vari-
jbility in weight from six ounces to four
' pounds."
| The food administration considers
■commercial bakeries of three types:
! Those selling to retailers, those bak-
! ing bread for chain stores of their
; own manasr-rnent and the small bak-
jers selling direct to consumers. The
| greatest reform in distribution prob-
ably can be effected in the first class
of which the wholesale baking cost
and profit represents about sixty-
seven per cent of the retail price, thir-
teen per cent the cost of delivery to
retailers and twenty per cent the re-
tailer's profit and distributing costs.
"Therefore," says I!r. Hoover, "the
cost of distribution Irom the whole-
si. le bakers' door represents thirty-
three per cent of the cost of bread «>r
over three cents a pound at present
prices.
"Cash and Carry Plan."
"Some relief can bo found to that
section of the community most in
need of care if the wholesale bakers
will place bread on sale to 'cash and
carry' cin-tojm :s at the bakery do r
at a margin above wholesale prices,
sufficient to cover the e:-;;o t expense.
Certain wholesale bak« rs have offered
to do this and it would result in an
additional number of V.i.-h and carry'
