fear of raising too much wheat.
North Dakota Oats.
II however 1t becomes an absolute I'M
possibility to SOW wheat and some other
grain becomes an imperative necessity,
then we would suggest that the farmer
go lightly on barley and flax
1t may not be generally known, even to
North Dakotans, themselves, but 1t is a
fact that there are but few sections Of this
country raising better oats than come
from Dakota.
The only reason they do not command
larger premium over oats from other
sections Is for the very singular reason
that we do not get enough Of them. IF
the Duluth and Minneapolis markets were
getting larger receipts Of North Dakota
oats they would find other and larger out
let's for them than are now sought for,
thereby bringing the superior quality to
the attention Of consumers who, at PRES
ent. are ignorant that oats are handled
here at all. ..
Another feature Of the oats market, diff
fering somewhat from barley and flax, Is
that the market Is practically unlimited
During the past year a good export de-
mand has existed and will always exist
at some price. With barley and flax, how
ever especially the latter, the market is
limited to one particular purpose.
IF moro barley Is raised than can be
used by the malsters. the remainder will
go for feed stuffs and the price of al
grades, mailing and feed grades both, will
suffer.
Still II should be remembered that AZ
average yield in North Dakota last yea
would have produced about twice tn,
number Of bushels that were raised IL
that state.

chiIdren's Many Misfortunes.

In the ages of children up to twelve
years, their misfortunes, from baby
prickly heat to the boys open sore, are
many. Few parents realize the the
rapeutic value of sulphur for skin dis
eases and impure blood.
Hancock's Liquid Sulphur, Natures
Greatest Germicide, is indispensable
in home where are children-it may
be taken internally or applied direcE to
the affected parte
Here is the opinion of Mr. Fl. J La
mar, Vineville, Macon. Co.: We used
your Liquid Sulphur on our one year
old baby, who suffered intensely from
prickly heat over her entire body. A
half dozen applications in two days en-
tirely relieved her and she slept sound
ly. You should recommend Liquid
Sulphur strongly to mothers. 1t will
prove blessing to every family with
small children,
The Hancock Liquid Sulphur Co.,
Baltimore, Md, sends free it's booklet

tlemen who have announced for the
Office of county commissioner will
serve their every interest, in the event
of the election of any of them, L am, as
