In the annals of American history
shall be written that one man, Mark c..
Rich, farmer and expert Alfalfa
grower, of the Black Hills of South
Dakota, was the discoverer of Alfalfa
AS A HUMAN FOOD. This was four
years ago. All Honor to Farmer
Rich, for he has indeed given America
food of strength and power, and a
food that will lower the high cost
of living. To convert Alfalfa into
human food, Mr.. Rich found that the
plant must be cut at particular
stage, and cured by scientific pro-
cess.
Following is most instructive table
comparing the elements of Alfalfa
with the other foods we generally
eat Notice how high Alfalfa stands
in PROTEIN, which is the snourishing
and strengthening FOOD value:

Alfalfa
The Strength Food FOR HUMANS.

Alfalfa for Humans! The Editor Of
Agricultural Magazine was just as sur
prised as you are when he first heard
of it. In the meantime, we have watch
ed the most interesting experiments
of Alfalfa-proving that Alfalfa is not
only the greatest remedial, nutritious
and strengthening food for Human Be
ings, but also most delightfully."- delici-
GUS. FL. ....o
All farm folk know that Alfalfa has
been proved by the Department of Ag-
riculture to be the best food to pro-
1uce a large flow of milk from dairy
COWS, to raise young cattle to goodly
size and strength, to effect large egg
production in poultry; indeed, the gov
eminent statistics even prove that s'the
heaviest yields of honey, per stand of
bees, are secured in the sections show
ing the greatest acreage of alfalfa"
One of the reasons why Alfalfa is so
nourishing is it's long tapering root
often extending Is or more feet into
the soil. This enables the plant to
reach stores of plant food and mineral
strength in the soil, which cannot be
secured by the ordinary shallow-rooted
field crops.
The word alfalfa" translated from
Arabic means "the best food" So,
while it is perhaps startling, it should
not be surprising, for it is entirely
logical, that Alfalfa is destined to soon
become the main food of America. 1t
may take the very place of wheat as
our staff of life.
Have you heard the story about
oats? An Englishman was ridiculins
a Scotchman and said, "You Scotch
men eat oats, and we Englishmen feed
oats only to our hogs" Said the
scotchman, FAYE, aye, sir, thot's why
England has sooch fine hogs, and Scot
land sooch fine men, That's the way
with Alfalfa.

Truth Is Mighty.

When. in the early part Of the week,
Chesapeake & Ohio sold down from 90 to
i9is, every one made sure that the d.
rectors who were quoted as saying that
there was no reason to believe the divi-
dend rate would be changed were giving
what the Street loves to call "techni-
cal" denial TO certain rumors to the con-
trary. A technical detail is not a lie; 1t
is simply something that one ought not TO
believe. Yet so long as there was
chance that the unnamed directors might
be telling the truth il didn't do TO go
short of the stock too far, and late on
Tuesday the bears began to get nervous
and covered up some of their commit
ments, as a new batch of directors, or
perhaps the old assortment reiter-
ating, insisted that there would be
no cut I'm the dividend. Yesterday the I'M
believers failed TO have the courage OF

them that they did because minute or
so after o'clock there was announced
