CANADA AFTER - WHEAT.
lalaad Kmnlr WUal Superior for
Maltt Braakfaat rd.
Inland Empire wheat is rapidly at
taining a wider reputation for its cx
celleuce as a basis for popular break
fast food. The latest concern to use
wheat from the eastern part of this
state in the breakfast food industry is
the Brack m an & Ker Milling Co. of
British Columbia. The firm's bead
quarters are at Vancouver, but its
brarches extend throughout the prov
ince and the Northwest territories of
Canr.da. 1
The Brack man Eer company has
just completed the erection ' of an
$18,000 plant to produce a malted
wheat breakfast food, for which East
ern Washington white wheat will be
used in preference to all other varie
ties available. ' The plant has a capa
city of 1800 pounds of finished food
daily, and is located at Vancouver.
The company has occupied an im
portant place in promoting the grow
ing of high class milling oata in the
Vancouver, B. C, district, and Al
berta. In past years many scores of
cars of select Norwegian and Swedish
oats have been imported and distri
buted as seed . on . a contract basis,
while this year a large quantity of
New Zeland oats will be brought in
for seed purposes, the special variety
in view having taken the premium
at the St. Louis exposition for white
oats, scaling 46 pounds to the bushel.
Black oats grown , at Moscow, Idaho,
exceeded this weight by half a pound,
but the black oat is not as desirable
for milling purposes. It is main
tained that the oats poduced on tidal
bottoms along the Fraser river in an
excessively humid climate are un
equaled in the world for milling pur
poses. ,
Dying of Famine

William Myers, of Carrfoss, Md.fc
"after trying different medicines and
a good doctor in vain, I at last took
Dn King's New Discovery, which
quickly- and perfectly cured me."
