WHEAT BREAD NOW
IS MORE POPULAR
\
Past 30 Years Have Seep
Big Change In Habits of
Tar Heels

BY J. V. B iIKKRVILL.
Raleigh. June 14.—Food habits of j
North Carolinians have gradually 1
shifted from meal to flour consump
tion during the last 30 years. If rec
ords of the production of the two
breed ingredients are indicative of
such a trend, according to a study
of census figures by the Department
of Conservation and Development.
From the time of tne War Between
the States until 19*'u. it is pointed on:,
much mo/e meal than flour was un
duced by North Carolina milts, but
since that time flour production has
increased while the amount of meal i
ground has decrease i ateadii /.
In 1904. for the time, ihe •
amount dl flour ground wat greater 1
than maal. In 1909 f!cor production
t xceeded meal b” M>MKO barrels oi
12 percent, in 1914 by 16 percent; and
in 1919 by 27 percent. In 1921, three
times as much wheat as corn was
milled; in 1924. nearly four times as
mucn and since 1924. about five times
as much wheat as corn has been
ground each year. Latest available |
figures, for 1929, show that one and |
a half million bushels of corn and j
about eight million bushels of wheat \
were ground. In a recent year. 36
mills ground from 5,000 to 20.000 bar- ;
rets of flour in North Carolina; elevn
ground from 20.000 to a 100,000 bar- j
re Is. and four ground more than 100 - !
000 barrels each.
“The milling business." said a state- 1
naent from the Department of Con-,
strvation and Development, “now
ranks as the eighth most important
industry in the State with an annual i
output valued at about $15,000,000; and
the bakery business, with products an
nunity valued at more than $7.000,000, j
is 17h In value of producs.
The 201 mere ha n mills in the State i
in 1929 ground $14,340,105 wortn of j
meal and flour: sou rfeed mills pre- j
pared $915,351 worth of cattle and j
poultry feeds: seven factories pro-1
duced $2,892,220 worth of cereal pre
parations from corn, wheat, and other ,
grains. If to these totals ls added the .
value of flour and meal ground by !
several hundred custom mills, he mill
ing industry* would have a combined ,
output worth about twenty million
dollars and would take Its place as
sixth most important industry in the
State.
“Shifs in the value of flour and 1
meal production Indicates that North 1
Carolinians have consistently increas- j
ed the consumption of wheat bread
and decreased the consumption of
corn bread during the last three de
cades. Another change in bread- ;
ing habis began about 20 years ago—
this time a change in form rather •
than kind. More and more people are ;
now buying their bread ready made.
“As evidence of this change, the .
baking business in North Carolina
has become an important and fast :
growing industry. It now ranks 17th
among all industries in value of out- |
put In 1899 .there were 22 bakeries 1
in the state; In 1909. 54; in 1919, 70: |
and in 1929, 83. The value of products
ha* however, shown a more rapid in- i
crease than the number of baking es
tablishments. jumping from $106,605 in 1
1599 to $7 229.865 in 1929—almost 7-
000 percent in 30 years. Bread and
other bakery products were valued at
$538 955 in 1900 and at $3,211,892 as
late as 1919, the year of highly In
flatad prices.
“About 75 percent of the output of
North Carolina bakeries is bread; I
about 10 per cent is accounted for by
various kinds of cakes; and about 15
percent by doughnuts, pies and other
products."

She continued: “They tugged for a
moment or two at the strongbox to
unlock it and get the fortune of
pearls Into which the cargo had been
converted, but the list was even more
pronounced now. A shout from the
deck told them they hadn't a second
to lose.
“ 'Think you are strong enough to
make it. Ezra?* the mate had asked
‘You're badly hurt!’
“ ‘l'll have to—with the help of
the Lord,' he answered and they
rushed on deck
"The little handful of survivors
was called and ordered to load all
the guns which m those days of
course were single shot muzzle load
ers. At a given signal they poured
thir. tire into the canoes between the
ship and shore, clearing their .peth
as best they could. The ship was
lying a couple of hundred feet off
shore, listing toward rhe sea. making
the side toward the island the high
side, and nearly all of the war ca
noes were on the low side getting
ready to board and rush her.
“True to traditions of the sea
great-grandfather and the mate wore
the last to plunge over, and this
probably saved their lives. Peter, the
two remaining sailors and the Jew
eler were pulled from .he water lie
fore they had gone half way. The
jeweler was a poor swimmer ami
they got him Irßt. Grcat-graadfatliec
and the mate swam neatly half the

their chance to slip through and
get ashore, for they seemed to have
escaped notice.
“Peter saw theu vain the land and

winding, narrow path to the temple.
When they, came down and appar
ently imparted the information that
the eye of Nu was missing there
was a stunned silence, followed by
great lamentation.
“The possibility of such a thing
had never entered the islander’s
minds —they had always believed Nu
powerful enough to protect himself
against such profanation. Then came
a fear Impelled rush to get off the
island Thus Grandfather Peter came
to Maatonga.
“Tarea hae been a place of fear
ever since. Strange things are re
ported by those who have been brave
enough to go there, as folks have
occasionally in the century which
has passed since. It is feared by the
islanders and taboo to the whites!”
Suddenly ! was recalled to my
present surroundings, and remem
bered that we bad things to do. i
had seen the mate and two of the
crew comlqg up from the pier. Com
ing for that poor, broken body.
“Pardon me. Pauo." I interrupted.
“Give me a hand. Larry." I said. He
caught the look in my eye. arose and
followed me to the dining room.
“Take Pabo and the girls for a
walk right away and keep them
away for half an hour or so Go hack
up the hill. Tom and 1 are going to
need the coast-line for a little
while.” He understood.
And ao just at sunset we burled
Hutario out In th* blue waters of
the South Seas after the manner of
his people for a thousand years.
Night fellows day suddenly in the
tropics. Torn and I stood in the
gently rising and falling bow of th£
schooner as we put back to port.
There was no talk as we rode slowly
.'through the thick, warm, purple
darkness of the stars.
Dinner that night I’ll always re
member as one of those determinedly
cheefflil affairs. The Death's Head
was seated with us. but each of us
tactily refused to recognize it. Pilly
came to the front with a lot of smart
collegiate talk.
Tom stepped in. and between them
they kept the conversational ball in
the air during the early courses.
There were a lot of motions made
but the amount of food consumed
was surprisingly smelt I-aughter
was brittle.
-Larry' qnd th* girls were la the
living room, where the soft lights
nWie a fntfadly glow, when Tom and
I cam* in. ,
“My friends," Tom said In greet
ing executing a couple of steps of
k a buck asd wing. Tom is Ilk* that.
Carrying on—putting a light face
on ugly business.
It bad been several hours since we
had been out there under the lime
tree with those cold glasses. It oc
curred to me that a cooling glass
might be appreciated by each of us.
The orange and lime trees on Moa
toaga grew luscious, juicy fruit, al
though pretty seedy. Great quanti
ties were te be had simply for the
gathering. Pauo bed one of those
electric juicers and several gallons
of tbs mixture was always kept
chilled and served with very little
sugar.

“We did." I answered quietly.
“1 appreciate It.”
Then we went bark to the living

ceremoniously distributed the
glasses. Piily shortly got an Inspira
tion and went to tbo music room,
where she began swinging into some
lively things which had been popular
m the States a few months before.
It was forced, determined gaiety, but
qaiety. for all of that. Dinner was
announced soon after tad we went
rollicking in to the long candle-lit
table.
It was towaid the middle or th*
meal that conversation lagged for a
moment and lone stepped in:
“Pauo. tell us some more of that
story you were giving us this after
noon. I have a ‘news-nose’ and 1 am
all curiosity."
“I have done some pondering on
how that book ever got to Hender
on» there in Chicago." 1 stated.
“Van Syke. the mate, got Into Pa
peete eventually." Pauo answered.
"Rather, I should say, he was picked

boat a few mites from Papeete, iuv

died shortly after they got him to,

Americans and Chinese.
“Van Syke had brought tbs log
book along with him. He died with

After he had been buried, an Amer
ica* missionary named Simtns, who
had taken care of him during his
last few hours, took charge of his
things. He looked tbs hook over and

“Years passed, and it was not un

Grandfather Peter learned that th#
mate had gotten through to Papeete
and that the log book <f the Ill

wrote letters trying to trace It, but
without success. He did learn, how
ever. of an aged and dlstang rela

that description had "been received.
Hut communication lit those .days
was more uncertain than it is now,
*Sid we m;ere too many -thousands of

“I made up my mind when 1 heard

From the statement that politician*

with multimillionaires as with mere

mortals, it should not be inferred that

The actual difference Is that the
framers of taxes “soaked'’ the rich

was no use in trying to fool them
whereas, iyi “spaaing" the remainder
of us, they did thel rbest to conviee
us that the few extra nttle Imposts
we will have to pay will be virtually
imperceptible.
The truth is that they emphatically
will be perceptible—but it is a fact
that we may not at first correctly
identify the added weight as higher
taxation.
