Oatmeal was only for the sick,
many years ago, and was sold by
drug stores; now this food more es-
recially in the form of rolled oats
has become an important item in the
general human dietary, and horses
and other live stock share the large
crop with their owners. In both pro-
duction and value the oats crops of
1917 exceed that of every former
year, and the 100000 bushels
have farm value of $1,061 900, 900.
This is regularly the fifth crop in

Outside the city walls are tiny
Arabian market stalls where brown
