DEATH oF CLINTON TOTEM SUNDAY
Sunday Morning Clinton Totten Died
at His Home Southeast of Murray

Yesterday morning at his home on
the William Troop farm, southeast
of Murray, Clinton Totten, one of
the old residents of the county, pas
sed to his final reward. The death
of Mr.. Totten was caused from
stomach trouble, it is thought, by an
summer in Kansas, when he was
thrown off of a wagon in which he
was driving, and tie vehicle passed
over his stomach and abdomen and
since that time he has been in very
poor health, and for the past two
weeks has been quite sick and never
recovered. gradually growing worse
until death came to his relief
Mr.. Totten was about 81 years of
age and had been resident of this
county for many years until about
four years ago, when he removed to
Wa-Keeney, Kansas, where he resided
until about three weeks ago, when he
returned to Nebraska to make his
home. Mr.. Totten was married in
this city to Miss Jane Ann Lloyd,
who is left to monrn his untimely
death, and to the sorrowing widow
the deepest sympathy of the commu-
nitv will go out, as Mr.. Totten was
one of the finest men that has lived
in this part of the county and his
death will cause profound sense of
grief throughout this locality, where
he was so we'll and favorably~ known
The funeral of this worthy man
was held this morning at IL O'Clock
from the Presbyterian church at
Murray; the services were conducted
by Rev. Hedges of Nehawka and Rev.
Howard Hutchins of Murray, and the
body laid to its final resting place in
the Young cemetery. The loss of Mr.
Totten is one that will be hard to re-
place, as he was one of those .strong,
sturdy figures in the community,
whose going leaves place that will
be hard to fill and for long years the
memory of Clinton Totten will be
kept green by the many old friends
he leaves behind. - Plattsmouth;

extend their heartfelt sympathy to
Mrs. lotion in this her sad hour of
grief.

KANSAS.

Extesion Department, International

Topeka, Kansas, September A.
Wherever alfalfa will grow it is a
forerunner of improved agriculture
and the hand maiden of prosperity
Those who know it best are the ones
who swear by it and plant more. If it
fails, the reflection is likely to be on
the man rather than on the locality.
There is not a county in western
Kansas that has not been successfully
raising alfalfa for years. This proves
its adaptability and farmers there
should grow more of it, 1t not only
yields for years from single seeding
but enriches the land on which it
grows, while producing the best hay
known.
1t is true that alfalfa is mostly
grown in the creek and river bottoms,
and these could be devoted to no bet
ter purpose, but it is wrong to assume
that other soils are not suitable The
chSracter of the soil rather than
nearnesS to streams determine its
adaptability, and experiences indicate
that in the aggregate there is much
of the right soil quite remote from
the water courses.
L urge and encourage farmers, and
especially those of western Kansas,
to seek out such soils, carefully pre-
pare them, and SOW at the first favor
able time. AS a rule in the western
counties spring sowing has been
found advantageous, but fall sowing
is often successful.
After once we'll established, alfalfa
is almost dry-weather-proof. When
seasons are unpropitious the output
will of course be curtailed; but it is
there, firmly rooted in the land to
quickly respond to bettered condi-
tions when other crops may be hurt
past recovery
1t will yield on the whole, year in
and year out, more profit than any
other crop. Those who secure a good
stand will find it perennial blessing
and a most effective insurance against
the empty hay shed and depleted
purse. To get to much of it is out of
the question. Urge the man without
it, wherever he may be, to test it
and persevere.

Secretary Kansas Board. of

THE COUNTY BOYS CREED
81 believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of doors and In touch with earth is
the natural life of man. L believe
that work is work wherever we find
it but that work with nature is more
inspiring than work with most in
tricate machinery. 1 believe that
the dignity of labor depends not on
what you do, but on how you do it;
that opportunity comes to boy on
the farm as otter as to boy in the
city; that life is larger and freer and
happier on the farm than in the Gown;
that my success depeeds not upon my
location but upon myself-not upon
my dreams but upon what / actually
do; not upon luck but upon pluck. /
believe in work when 1 work and in
play when L play, and in giving and
demanding a square deal in every
act of life. Edwin 0. Grover.a

On account of a sewers drought this
season, there will be but little seed
produced of corn or of sorghums 1t
is important, then, that every ear of
corn or head of milo, kafir or feterita
that develops sufficiently to be used
for seed should be gathered early
this fall and carefully stored. Any
one having old corn should not dis
pose of it except for seed. There is
little danger of an over supply this
season. If anyone has surplus of
any kind of seed suitable for growing
in western Kansas, he need not fear
the lack of market. There will be
many who will produce practically no
seed and will have to depend upon
their more fortunate neighbors. The
value of using acclimated seed will
be evident in next years crop. w. A.
Boys, demonstration agent at Hays,
would like to receive the names of
any who have a surplus of seed,
especially of milo, kafir or feterita.
Last spring, Mr. Boys assisted num-
Der of farmers in getting seed of
various kinds and this year he desires
TO be of more help in this way.
