MARKETS
FOR BARLEY
BEING CREATED
American Barley Company Demon
strating Barley Products at
the Fair. Ssf,

The exhibit and demonstration at
the Fair by the American Barley
company of various products which
are manufactured by this institution
from Pure Barley will undoubtedly
pc of more than ordinary interest to
doubly 81 to the barley growers Of
North Dakota.
That the preparation and use Of
barley as q human food is of decisive
importance to the country's welfare
at this time is Enthusiastically evidenced
by the fact that representatives of
the Department of Agriculture re-
Gently visited the Northwest, study
Ing the situation, with a view to the
creation Of means to absorb into hui
man food a large portion Of the bar
ley heretofore consumed in the manu-
facture of liquor.
The Governments experts found
that many problems Of converting
raw barley into an acceptable human
food have been solved by the Ameri-
can Barley Company of Minneapolis,
who are now conducting a demonstra-
ton Of their products at the Fair.
Ihis company Is already manufac-
turing and selling high grade barley
foods which have stood the test Of
metropolitan markets and are very
rapidly becoming popular throughout
he entire country. All Of the pro-
ducts manufactured by this COM
pany are made from pure barley
without adulteration Of any other
grain. In addition to Johnson's Els
pecially Prepared Pure Barley Flour,
which nearly every mother and
grandmother have used in the rear
ing Of their children, they also make
a delicious breakfast food-"Cream
Of Barley" as we'll as a commercial
Barley Flour which bakes an excel
lent bread, mullins, etc., of the gen.
eral character of a graham bread, al
though a shade lighter in color.
Scientific opinion is agreed that
barley Is h most highly nutritious
and digestable of foods, and in view
OF the growing popularity Of the bar
onstrated at the Fair by the American
BARLEY Company, and the tremendous
success Of that institution, which we
are informed has secured a larger
tonnage and a greater distribution
than any Of the gigantic wheat, corn
or oat cereal manufacturers Of the
country during the same period Of
their development, it would, there
fore. appear as if barley would short
ly take its place as an important GER
a In the list Of cereal foods. In this
connection, We read, from the Public
Ledger of Philadelphia, in Printers
Ink Of July Scream of Barley was
not sold east of Chicago until Novem-
Der, 1, 1915" Cream of Barley is
now one Of the biggest selling cereals
In the Philadelphia region" We are
also informed that the same condition
prevails in Pittsburg, Kansas city,
Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and
Los Angeles. and every grocer
throughout the Northwest testifes to
Its popularity in this section. ai7
The demonstration at the Cream of
Barley" booth does not only prove
that Barley can be milled into a gem
uine, wholesome food, but she also
proves hat it makes a distinctive and
delicious dish. and it would seem al
most certain that in the near future
the country will require large guam
titles Of high grade barley to be used
In the preparation Of human food.
Hence, the barley grower of North
Dakota should entertain. no fear re-
d a ready market in case the
prohibition measures now pendins
succeed.
