SAYSFLOUR COST BREAD -MAKING eral Labor Department in Support of Stand Recent statements by Samuel L. McKelvie, wheat member for the fed- eral farm board, that bread prices should be reduced have roused little enthusiasm among bakers throughout the country, according to John A. Hoffman, manager of the Western Baking company here. In the first place, Mr. Hoffman sald, McKelvie’s statement is some- what misleading in that it fails to take into account the fact that the price of the wheat entering into it is one of the minor costs of making bread.» Hoffman cited a recent statement by the federal labor department that “the cost of flour comprising a loaf of bread is a relatively unimportant factor contributing to the total cost and the expense of transporting the wheat to the mill, the flour to the| bakery and the cost of distributing the finished food is primarily respon- sible for whatever increases the bread market has undergone.” In support of this statement, Hoft- man said, the department offered statistics covering the last 13 years which show that the average whole- sale price of wheat has, at times, trebled, while retail bread averages | have, during the same time, fluctu- ated during the same time from 5.4' cents a pound to 11.5 @ pound.
