One explanation of the badness of our bread is that the Government has had to buy large quantities of foreign wheat to make up for the deficiencies of the horns crop, and that the flour made from this wheat is inferior to the home-grown article. Either the Government has been swindled or has bought the cheapest wheat obtainable. Another explanation is that more by-products are being used, so as to get as much flour as possible out of the wheat. We are told that if the next harvest is satisfactory we way see white bread again—in September, 1921!
