WEST TEXAS GRAIN rs FOOD

Editor Signal:
The farmers of all the arid farm
ing belt are struck hard by the rapiu
fall of price OF maize, kaiiir anu

local condition is lack or elevators
and running in too green. As lohs
as farmers persist in rushing IN uh-
cured or unseasoned grain so long

II they buy at all AS long as We
bave no elevator so long will the
nrice he unstable. because II is Dig
Gamble to pile It on the ground and
risk ruin by rain and storm.
But neither of thees cause the gen
eral low price. These sorghum grains
have not yet been recognized as
human food. Wheat, corn ana oats
are human food and each holds a
nr,ce in proportion to their use as
such. Therefore allow a suggestion
to every raiser in the west, why not
populGrize these grains as food NOT
man. Each makes palatable bread
each would make as fine cereal as
wheat. corn, oats, or rice. When we
show our faith in these grains oS
use on our tables then we begin
to permanen ly raise their value. Th'

farmers need the use of these grams
So allow the suggestion that every
