Van Lear, who visited our country last

boards OF trade, returned to Belgium
with complete report on the utility OF
using corn as mixture with rye for

for beer. Prot Van Lear represents
the government brewing school in
Client and Therefore speaks with au-
thority. Since his return from Ameri.
ca he has given several letters before
brewing societies favoring the use Of
corn in making beer. The result is
that several brewers In Client, Yer

to America. This demand will con

of corn, which is what our farmers re
