Home Made Flour. i i The Columbia State says editorially: "Id this day when we. have 1 roller mills near at hand, it would * seem needless to urge that the products of these flour mills be used by our own citizens. Local and State | pride and a desire to be mutually helpful should be enough to insure ( the roller mills a market at home/' and the success of these establish- , -- 1 ments is evidence that tney are receiving liberal patronage, yet many hotels and bouses are still using bread made from Western flour. But 1 if nothing else will do it, self interest should impel all to use home c made flour, of the purity of which 1 we can assure ourselves. The adul- c teration of much of the Western flour is a matter of common knowledge, { but we quote as follows from the ed- * itorial columns of the New York com- J mercial: The habitual adulteration of flour ' in this country is becoming a very * serious matter and one which should c r be regulated, or rather annihiliated by Act of Congress. There is no c article so extensively used as a food- * stuff. It is on every table in the land ( three times a day. The man who 1 adulterates it with white clay is a 1 criminal at heart-. It is said that the average chemist cannot detect the adulteration. What theD, are grocery store keeperp, from whom the ^ vast majority of people get their g flour to do? The clay with which f flour is said to be adulterated is e found in South Carolina. It is claimd c that by judiciously using it as an in- f gredient $400 can be saved in one q car load of flour. Of course it has * V no nutritious properties, and, there- g fore, in addition to endangering health E it affects the quanttiy of bread. An- c other adulterant is a white rock c which is ground and mixed in. This I is not so popular, because in long 0 shipments it shifts to the bottom. 0 Then theres is a by-product of glo- c cose which is very popular with some ( of the mill men. It contains sul- ? phuric acid, and there is so little j Dutriment in it that 50 pounds would g not be any more sustaining than one good hot biscuit like our mothers ^ used to make. A less injurious mixture is corn flour; that is, Indian corn meal ground until it is as fine as the wheaten flour. Government experts v at Washington have failed to detect 15 per cent, of this adulterant in y samples set before them. The Louisville Courier Journal calls attention v to a sinister feature of this adulterizing habit into which the millers f have fallen. The domestic consumption of wheat is about 300,000,000 g bushels a year. Five per cent, adulteration would displace 15,000,000 | li bushels and 15 per cent, adulteration, which is commoD, would tripple the * quantity. Now, when we consider that the e South, as proved before a committee in Congress, is the dumping ground s for a large portion of this adulterated flour, the proposition should he J plain that it is to our interests to en- = courage our home mills, as consumers can compel, by inspection and iLfluence, their products to be kept pure. There is, however, little reason for the mills in this section to attempt adulteration, as they are, for i the most part, small ones, depending upon the local trade and doing an exchange business. Moreover, they are interested in the ecour&gement of wheat cultivation, and, as is intimated in the above quoted article, adulteration is inimical to the interest of the wheat growers, since it brings into use a substitute for that grain. The war against adulterated fljur, therefore, can well be cariied on alone with the campaign for a I more general cultivation of wheat and m both all of us in this part cf the country can readily and heartily join. For success we must depend on personal pressure. The consumers ?the people who eat bread?should demand of the hotel, the bikers and the housekeepers that their bread be made from home grown and home ground flour. Then in turn let the hotels, the bakers and the house keepers refuse to buy of the grocers and wholesalers anything but pure flour j from home mills, the honesty of whose managers is unquestioned. Legislative action is all very well in its place, aDd it may be expedient to make a adulteration punishable, is it is no doubt a daDgerous prac:ice, but the surest and speedest results are to be had by local methods, it least so far as our section is concerned. We would be glad to see Columbia hotels and houses set the exam ole in this matter, especially as there 8 reason to believe that impure flour ias been sent here and used. The South Carolina flour mills are conveniently near,, the flour can be >ought of them as cheaply as ebeitViq'tq it ?q a hoffpr flrfiflp. pr> If UC1 V U/4U IV iW M wvvv* *- ?-v-w, here can be no matter of excuse for sending money to enrich Western niller3, aDd our own farmers can re:eive the benefit with advantage lone the less to the buyers. Id this ;ampaign for more South Carolina wheat, many merchants have shown i commendable interest, and one Dharleston baker has declared his in:ention to use only home made flour. 5Ve believe it would be of advantage o any dealer in Columbia to adver;ise the fact that he handles the proJucts of South Carolina wheat mills. This is a matter in which numbers :ount, and while we are urging the armers to sow more wheat and are mcouraging the erection of roller nills, let us not overlook the upbuildng of a market for their product.
