CREATING BIG
BARLEY MARKET
American Barley Co. Dem
onstrating Products at
Interstate Fair

The exhibit and demonstration at
the fair by the American Barley Co.
of various products which are manu-
featured by this institution from pure
barley will undoubtedly be of more
than ordinary interest to the citizens
of Fargo, and doubly so to the barley
growers of North Dakota.
That the preparation and use of
barley as a human food is of decisive
Importance to the countrys welfare
at this time is Enthusiastically evidenc-
ed by the fact that representatives of
the department of agriculture recent
ly visited the northwest, studying the
situation, with a view to the creation
of a means to absorb into human food
large portion of the barley hereto
fore consumed in the manufacture 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 Co. of Minneapolis, who
are now conducting a demonstration
of their products at the fair This
company is already manufacturing
and selling high grade barley foods
which have stood the test of metro
politan markets and are very rapidly
becoming popular throughout the en-
tire country. All of the products
manufactured by this company are
made from pure barley without adul-
teration of any other grain. In addi-
Pure Barley -four, which nearly. ev-
cry mother and grandmother have
used in the rearing of their children,
they also made delicious food, Cream
of Barley as we'll as commercial
barley -four which bakes an excellent
bread, mullins. etc, of the general
character of a graham bread, all
though a shade lighter in color.
Scientific opinion is agreed that
barley is the most highly nutritious
and digestible of foods. and in view of
the growing popularity of the barley
products which are being demonstrat-.
ed at the fair by the American Bar
ley Co.. and the tremendous success
of that institution, which we are in
formed has secured larger tonnage
and a greater distribution than any
of the gigantic wheat, corn or oat
cereal manufacturers of the country
velopment, it would, therefore, appear
as if barley would shortly take its
place as an important cereal in the
list of cereal foods. In this connection,
we read from The Public Ledger of
Philadelphia. in Printers Ink of July
8: Cream of Barley was not sold
east of Chicago until Nov. 1. 1915"
Cream of Barley is now one of the
delphia region" We are also inform
ed that the same condition prevails in
Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Portland,
Seattle, San Francisco and Los An
geles, and every grocer throughout
the northwest testifies to it's popular
ity in this section.
The demonstration at the Cream of
Barley booth does not only prove that
barley can be milled into a genuine,
wholesome food, but also proves
that it makes a distinctive and deli
cious dish, and 1t would seem almost
certain that in the near future the
country will require large quantities
of high grade barley to be used in
the preparation of human food. Hence,
the barley growers of North Dakota
should entertain no fear regarding a
ready market in case the prohibition
measure now pending succeeds.
