ALFALFA OUR NEW
EST ARTICLE OF DIET

We may be eating alfalfa before
long if the price of food continues
to mount. But let it be said in haste
that we may also enjoy the expert
ence, although the most of us prob
ably have thought of alfalfa as
grown exclusively for animals. AL
falfa flour long since passed the
experimental stage. Alfalfa honey
has been pronounced of good quality
and delightful taste; and alfalfa
syrup deserves the same description.
A movement is under way in a big
Iowa sity to establish a big plant for
the special purpose of Transforming
alfalfa into edible products. Its out
put would include, besides the arti
cles mentioned. such things as ex
tracts. candies. cake and--'tea and
coffee"
When alfalfa leaves are baked in
a certain way they are said to make
an excellent substitute for tea OF
coffee, depending upon a different
treatment in either case. Not only
do thed produce beverage that has
the taste of tea or coffee but one
tritive quality, whereas all tea and
coffee is more or less poisonous.
Alfalfa would seem to be the most
wonderful of plants from a food
standpoint. When wheat flour Is
| mixed with alfalfa flour, the latter
varying from 40 to 20 per cent, the
bread made with this combination IL
pronounced as equal to wheat bread

QUEER CLAIMS
FOR EXEMPTION

A chronically overdrawn bank ac-
count is presented by one North Da-
kota registrant as a reason why the
district exemption board should con-
slider his appeal from his local board,
which denied his exemption when he
claimed he was the sole support of one
wife.
That bank account is overdrawn

the bank, which is enclosed with the
claimants affidavit, is positive proof.
Insurance Only Property.
Aside from this bank account,
which is more of a liability than an
asset, all the drafted mar claims in
this world is a $4,000 life insurance
policy, which will do no one any good
until he is in the next world.
Another claimant sends in a per-

have been denied by district boards.
Only three counties this morning
had failed to make any report to the
district board. In practically every
case where county boards have re-
ported, sufficient eligibles have been
presented to enable the district board
to certify to the adjutant general, en-
ough men to furnish 80 per cent of the

The wheat crops of the nation last
year aggregated 640,0O0,0O0 bushels,
and the estimates so far indicate that
the 1917 wheat crop will be about
$50, 900, 000,0 O0, an increase of 2O,00O,-
900. The yield of wheat was consid-
erably increased during the present
season over the disappointing harvests
of last year, but the loss in the acre
age Of the winter, of fall-seeded varie-
ty, cut down the crop. The loss in
acreage last spring was about thirty
one per cent. There was a good in
crease in the spring wheat acreage,
but the conditions for growth were ex-
ceedingly poor. During the entire
season a dry area persisted from the
Red River valley to the Pacific coast,
a region which produces two-thirds of
the spring wheat. The yield of this
season was above last years, but far
below the acreage for a number OF
years.
