Grow Ontario Wheat. An advertisement in TDA STANDARD
In the old days, when practically all
out\ farmers planted wheat as their
principal crop and our local millers
were grinding this wheat into good
Ontario flour, bran and shorts Hold for
about half what, they do now. These
feed stuffs were cheap because the
mills had plenty of thetn to sell. When
Manitoba flour pushed its way into
Ontario, our farmers saw only the
"big loaf of bread," They bought
western patent flour, stopped raising
wheat and made the Manitoba farmers
rich, Naturally our millers had little
wheat to grind. Bram and shorts had
to be brought from the West, Freight
rates were, and are, high. And our
stockmen and dairymen. and farmers.
too, are paying for this folly.
The remedy lies with the farmers.
They should refuse to buy Western
flours at any price. The blended flours
stilled right here in our own province,
of Ontario wheat and a little Manitoba
wheat, are better—both for bread and
pastry—than tiny Western herd patent
flour. By raising more wheat, and
buying blended flours made of the this
same wheat, our great farming popu-
lation world not only keep their
money at home but also keep our (lour
mills busy grinding wheat. With
plenty of wheat to grind, there would
he plenty of bran and shorts for sale.
And big'gmantities mean lower prices,
This does not mean any hardship on
the part of the farmer, As a matter of
fact, when he buys blended (lour, he
will be getting a better Roar that, he
has ever bought before, These On-
tario blended flours contain Ontario
wheat and a small quantity of Mani-
toba wheat, Ontario flour, while per-
fect for cake and pastry, floes not
oontain enough "strength" (or gluten,
as the chemists call it) to make a big
loaf of bread. Now, our millers have
found out just how much gluten Onta
rio (lour needs, and they Odd the gluten
by addintra little Manitoba flour. which
is high in gluten. So, in these Ontario
blended flours, we get both a bread
flour and a pastry flour, and the best of
each kind.
Certainly, when our farmers ran get
it better flour, and at the same time
create a new market for Ontario wheat
and so restore wheat growing to its
farmer fa.yor anoig our Agricnitarel
populatiu, there seems no reason in
the world why every farther in Ontario
should not use Ontario blended flour,
