Alfalfa is one of the most impor-
tant forage crops that the Missouri
farmer is growing today. Its wide
adaptability for feeding. its high feed
ing value and its beneficial effect
upon the soil make it very desirable
crop to grow. The idea that It can
not be grown successfully in Missouri
is largely q matter of not understand.
ing the requirements of the plant.
When these become better understood
alfalfa will be grown to greater or
less degree In practically every sec
ton of the state. In the richer SEE
tons It will be grown on the uplands.
and in the less fertile sections It Will
be grown in the fertile valleys and
bottoms.

BOAT CAPSIzES
ONE browns

The village was cast in gloom last
Sunday afternoon by a drowning ac-
cident, which occurred on the pond,
and in which Raymond E. Smith
of Railroad St., lost his life. But
for prompt assistance George Worth
and George Murphy would have
shared like fate.
About two hours previous to the
accident, the three had rented row.
boat of Henry LaFountain. They
had rowed about and were near the
center of the pond when Worth. who
was rowing, started to exchange
seats with Smith. In second they
were precipitated in the water and
people on shore were shocked to hear
the terrifying cries of those off
shore. Neither Smith or Murphy
could swim, but Murphy fortunately
came up near the boat and chung to
it until help arrived. Smith was
evidently thrown some distance from
the boat, but was unable to reach
it and went down while several boats
were fastening to his aid. Worth,
in the meantime, had struck out
swimming and had gone about 100
yards when he grasped the canoe of
Earl Norris, where he clung until
rescued by Frank Danforth and
Lional Banner. Murphy was taken
off the overturned boat by Arthur
Seymour and Edgar Russell and was
later transferred from their canoe
to the boat of Malcolm Sadleir and
Milton Stern.
The accident occurred about 4.30 |
and plenty of boats were on the
pond at the time but none were near
enough to get Smith before he went |
down. But a few minutes before |
two boats were along side of the |
party and Smith was heard to re-
mark, Gee, I'd hate to fall in, as |
can't swim.
Murphy states that when he saw
Smith he was about ten feet from
the overturned boat and the top of |
his head was just visible, and that
after short struggle he disappeared.
Grapples were Immediately secur-
ed and several parties worked inces-
sanity Sunday night and Monday, |
but their efforts were of no avail so
a diver was sent for; he arrived
Monday night and he spent the last |
three days without result ksearching |
for the body. He has been badly |
handicapped by the thick mud, which |
lies on the bottom of the ipond, and
has had to work from a ladder sus-
pended from a raft.
Mr.. Smith was one of the most
popular young men of the town and
a trusted, faithful employee of the
Grand Trunk. The sympathy of
the village goes out to the bereaved
mother, wife, and relatives, which is
made more saddening over the in
ability to find the remains of the
young man.

The attention of the municipal
court, Thursday morning, was CEN
tered in a single case, the charge in
which was intoxication. There was
no doubt as to the guilt of the re-
spendent and sentence of 60 days in
Jail was visited upon him. But as he
explained to the court that there was
a job awaiting him in the woods
which would give him a winters work,
and seemed very DESTROYS of seeking
the realms of spruce and pine. the
court suspended sentence on condition
that the respondent would waste no
unnecessary time in getting onto his
lob
