How Much Wasted?
Last year's wheat cro) in the U. S. was a record yield, surpassing all expectations.
All of the nourishment of this enormous crop should go into food for mankind,
but much of it will be wasted.
In making white flour and many foods, the outer, or bran-coat of the wheat is
discarded. This bran-coat contains vital mineral salts, iron for the blood, lime for
the teeth and bones, phosphate of potash for the brain and nerves, etc., etc., all abso
lutely necessary to health.
All of those mineral elements are retained in making

About thre-Miuarters of a million bushels of selected wheat are used by the fac
