MEN ARE
WONDERING WHAT
WILL BECOME OF
BARLEY In u. S,

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 11.-Grain
men at the Chamber Of Commerce
here are wondering what will become
of barley, former favorite Of the
brewers.
The housewife has little use for
barley now as the $3.50 rule for sub
stitute flour has been discontinued.
Farmers say it is Of some use to them
in winter only as feed for hogs.
Barley has declined a few cents
each day on the trade floor here. AT
time the price scared as high as
s2.15 per bushel but now it can be
bought for from 81 to SO cents a
bushel.
Attempts are being made to manu-
facture sugar out of this grain, but
these attempts are still in the expert
mental stage.
