OATS SECOND IN
LIST OFMSHELS
IYolifio And Palatable Alike to Man
or Beast, This Grain is Great
Crop in West.
ITS YIELD MEANS WEALTH
The Omaha Grain exchange received
11.M2.000 bushels of oats In 1915 and ship
ped oat ll.M0,5)0 bushels of the ssme great
cereal
Oata la second only to corn In the great
volume of It which la produced In the
United Ptatee.
In 1816 the I'nlted States produced more
than 1.K10.000.WO bushela of oats and the
total crop of the world waa 4 R.s,6iVl,(w
buahela.
Out la a cereal that grows without any
faatidtoua care. It lan't very particular
what kind of aotl It Is sown in, and If
the weather conditions are fairly decent
It will produce Ita forty to sixty bushela
to the acre. This, however, la not the av
erage yield, that being about twenty-five
buahela per acre In thla country and about
forty buahela per acre In the countries
where more Intensive cultivation la prac
ticed, aa In Germany and Great Britain,
and, of course, In Bonnie Scotland, where
they have to have It for their "porrltch"
and oat cakea.
Breakfast Food Raala.
There are firms In the Omaha Grain
exchange that make a bualneaa of buy
ing the beat oaU that cornea to the mar
ket for the bis cereal breakfast food
companies to make Into those prepara
tion that "make healthy boya and girls,"
aa the advertisements tell ua.
The grain of -the oat la rich In protein
and carbohydrates and contains a fairly
high percentage of fat. It la extremely
valuable for all kinds of farm animals,
though It Is most commonly thought of
aa a feed for horses.
It haa been claimed that oata contains
a peculiar stimulating principal called
"avenlne." but careful analysis haa failed
to. reveal any auch principle. It Is a
well-known fact, however, that horses
fed on oats exoel In mettle and general
condition and there Is no other grain
that they like better.
