oats is called oatmeal. In countries where wheat will not grow, the people live on oatmeal cakes and porridge, instead of wheaten bread.""There is another kind of corn called rye," said Willie.

Wheat is the best of all the corn grains. Its ears are full and the grains plump. Wheaten bread forms the chief part of ourfood. Barley has spiked ears, not like the ears of wheat. It does not make good bread. Oats hang in bunches. Oatmeal is made into cakes and porridge. Rye-flour makes dark, coarse, heavy bread.
