FAD ALFALFA PRODUCTS

Alfalfa has been advertised so ex-
tensively that "make-money-easy" con-
Germs are trying to capitalize on this
crop by selling fake and fad products
as well as worthless stock in the COM
panies reported to produce them. AS
a rule, the best which can be said
about many of these alfalfa products,
such as alfalfa -four, alfalfa syrup. al
falfa candy, alfalfa breakfast food, and
as one circular states it, everything
except shoe backing and toothpicks,"
is that they are harmless. But they
are involved in stock-jobbing propo-
sitions which without question will re.
suit in loss of money to individuals
who succumb to the lure Of these get
rich-quick schemes. The United States
Department of Agriculture has a high
regard for alfalfa as a forage, but the
department specialists brand as fads
and fakes the medicines and so-called
human food articles which are sup
posed to be made from it.

are many sections of the world, where
the shipment of potatoes is practically
