present under severe strain. The turn-over from milling ### 73% to 85% level would also materially help in maintaining the reserve which it has been decided is necessary. 3. The objection that flour of 85% extraction does not keep as well as flour of 73% extraction has, for the time being, lost its force as the flour currently milled in this country during the war can be used at once and any necessary reserve can be kept in the form of imported flour at 73% extraction. 4. While we recognise that the public generally prefer to eat white bread rather than brown bread, it may be pointed out that the bread made from the specified 85% extraction flour more closely resembles white bread in texture, taste and colour than ordinary brown bread.
