Special Correspondence A. P.
BEBLTN—Bread made from the
spring buds of lime and beech trees,
is the latest promise of German
scientists. Two brothers named
Bronco have perfected the process of
producing a Hour from the source,
with considerable quantities of fat
and animal fodder as by-products.
They estimate that about 500,000
tons of the new flour can be pro
duced annually ’in Germany. The flour
is said to have about the same nutri
tive value as barley.
Tlie imperial corn office ’is scepti
cal as to Hie value of the invention,
declaring that the harvesting of the
buds and the preparation of the
flour involved such an expenditure of
man power that It hardly seems like
ly tlie invention can lie exploited at
present.
