Probing more basically into the world wheat situation, Grand Meunier Vilgrain declared that French wheat kernels have been of poor quality since the War, and do not now contain a sufficient proportion of protein and gluten. This effect has been wrought by the post War shortage of man power on the farms, which has induced land owners to plant a species of wheat seeds giving a greater harvest with less care, but an inferior grade of wheat.
