Those who are in position to know
say that the alfalfa acreage in the
state is now between 100000 and
1885, 900 acres and this alfalfa has been
planted largely at the suggestion Of
and under the advice Of the county
agent. Corn growing has been great
iy encouraged. Campaigns on saving
seed corn have resulted in large
amounts of home grown seed corn be-
ing saved and this home grown seed
corn has resulted in better results
with corn than was possible with i'm
ported seed.
The county agents have been instru-
mental in bringing about the intro

grain farming had been exclusively or
largely practiced, and in all sections
of the northwest have done much to-
ward the standardization of breeds.

Talked Too Much.

A broom salesman from Illinois
who has made this territory twice a
year for a long time, and always an
object of awe to the inhabitants by
reason Of the flower garden that he
invariably totes aronnd on his coat
lapel, made his usual visit here week
before last. In the course OF his call
at a local store he gave several wit
nesses an anti American view Of the
Red Cross work. Coming to the ears
of Sheriff Jackson, and Department
of Justrce officer who happened to ar
rive in town about that time, the de-
velopment was a q. S. Marshall who
summoned the aforesaid witnesses to
give testimony in federal coart. We
rather. think the Yoluble Mr.. Collins
win soon have an opportunity to re-
tire to place where he can mediate
upon the truth OF the saying: Silence

HOOverisnls.

The following suggestions for food
conservation have been prepared as
preliminary Instructions by Mr.. Hooy-
err They are the forerunners Of the
valuable helps that will be sent to
every woman who signs the food
/ pledge card:
"a We THE WHEAT One wheat
less meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal,
rye or barley bread and non-Wheat
breakfast foods. Order bread "a hours
in advance SO your baker will not
bake beyond his needs, Cut the loaf
on the table and only. as required
Use stale bread for cooking, toast,
etc. Eat less cake and pastry. Our
wheat harvest is far below normal.
Ii each person weekly saves one pound
OF wheat -four, that means $50, 900
I more bushels of wheat for the allies
to mix in their bread
SAVE THE MEAT. Beef, mutton,
or pork not more than once daily
Use fish and vegetables freely. At the
meat meal use smaller portions, and.
steWs instead of steaks. Make dishes
of all left over. Do this and there will
be meat enough for everyone at a
reasonable price.
We are today killing the dairy cows
and female calves as a result Of high
prices Therefore eat less, and eat no
Young meat. If we save an ounce of
meat each day per person we will
have additional supply equal to 1900,
600 cattle
SAVE THE MILE. The children
must have milk. Use every drop. Use
butsermilk and sour milk for cooking.
and making cottage cheese. Use less
cream.
SAVE THE FATS. We are the
worlds greatest of MASTERS. Fat is
food. Butter is essential for the
growth and health Of children. Use
butter on the table as usual but not
in cooking. Other fats are as good.
Reduce use of fried foods. Soap con-
tains fats. DO not waste it, Make your
own washing soap at home out of the
saved fats.
Use one-Jhird ounce less per day of
animal fat and 355sOOO tons will be
saved yearly.
SAVE THE SUGAR. Sugar il
scarcer. We use TODAY three times as
much per person aSoar allies. So there
may be enough for all at reasonable,
price, use less candy and sweet drinks
Do not stint sugar in putting UP
fruits and jams They will save butt
ter. If everyone In America saves one
ounce of sugar daily, it means /, no.
600 tons for the year.
SAVE THE FUEL. Coal comes
from distance and our railways, are
overburdened hauling war material.
Help relieve tn en- by burning faxer
fires. Use wood when you can get it.
USE PERISHABLE EOODS..
Fruits and vegetables we have in
abundance. AS nation we eat too
little green stnffs Double their use
and improve your health. Store pota-
toes and other roots properly and they
will keep.
USE LOCAL SUPPLIES. Patron
ize your local producer. Distance
means money. Buy perishable food
from the neighborhood nearest you
and thus save transportation.

1t is reassuring that American officers
who have been through the German
'strafng" while occupying trenches on
the western front viii be put in com
mand of the former national guardsmen,
at least for the present, rather than that
the whole oversight should be in charge
of men who have not smeled powder in
actual battle. The leadership of officers
who have received the hail of lead ought
to act as a steadying influence when the
soldiers new TO actual conflict are put to
the test on the front line.
