The Milling Industry of Canada would like to tell why. ' Nearly six years ago the price of flour was fixed akthe low prices then ruling, based on wheat costing 77%c per bushel when milled for use in Canada. Since then, the price of wheat has advanced step by step, but the Govern- ment has paid the difference in the form of a consumer subsidy in order that you might buy flour and bread at no increase. Wheat has actually risen to $1.581/2 a bushel so that for some time past the Government has been paying more than half the full cost. Now the Government has dropped the subsidy and the price° Millers will pay for wheat through the Government Wheat Board will be more than double what it was originally. That is why the cost of flour will be increased. Furthermore, the cost of bags, other supplies, labour and transportation has increased substantially during the control period. Canadian Millers, however, knowing the importance of flour in the family diet pledge themselves to keep the price as low as they possibly can. The prices of practically all ingredients in bread have also risen sharply and your Baker must take this into consideration when calculating his new prices.
