Spot Fugitive
In Investigation
Of Ward Killing

An 1S-year-old freedom won
after three escapes from penal
institutions was ended for c. E.
Parker at Cumbest Bluff last
Thursday when he was arrested
as a fugitive after being ques-
toned in connection with the
two-year-old murder of R. E.
Ward.
Taken into custody for ques-
tioning concerning the unsolved
mystery of the Staying of TIL
farmer whose body was found
stuffed into the cab of a truck
parked on the road near Pasea-
goula in December, l947, Parker
was released and then r~earrested
after officers found he was an
escaped convict. He was placed
in the Lucedale Jail to await re-
turn to Parchman, from which
penitentiary he escaped twice.
Parker admitted having es-
capped from the state penitentiary
after having been convicted in
1929 in Harrison county on a
charge of assault and battery, Of
ficers said. He escaped, was later
captured, and escaped the second
time. Previously, he told officers,
he had escaped from the State
Reformatory at Columbia, Miss.
Three and a half years of his
unauthorized freedom were spent
in the service as a military police
man in the Army in World War
II with two and a half years serv-
ice in the European theater.
Parker was one of many per-
sons who have been taken into
custody and questioned by police
in an effort to solve the Ward
murder. Six persons-from Birm-
ingham Detroit and Jackson and
George eounties-Were picked up
last week for investigation. Sher-
if w. d. Bearry of Lucedale said
Thursday all had been released
but two and that he was still
questioning one from Birming-
ham and one from Detroit. He
declined to give any particulars
and said SO far there has been no
real break in the case.
Ward was found shot and off,
GERS said evidence pointed to the
fact that he was killed at his
residence and then carried to the
road about two miles from Pas
cagoula and left. An empty peck
etbook, which relatives and ac-
quaintances said usually con-
tanned a large sum of money. was
found on the car seat.

Behind The Scenes In
American Business
by Reynolds Knight

NEW YORK, June 6 - That
postwar world we once dreamed
of is here. It's ever beginning
to show its age a little. It's amaz-
ing to find - when checking back
over the wartime issues of Behind
the Scenes - how many of the
''Thincc to Come" products her
aided then are actually here now
in enormous, everyday quantities.
During the war, detergents did
not win firm market acceptance
until the soap shortage. Now
some 300 brands are on the mar
ket, and are steadily winning a
! substantial share of the business
once held by conventional soaps.
New kinds of dishwashing ma
chimes also were a favorite pre-
| diction of those wartime Behind
| the Scenes columns. They lived
| up to their forecasts with a ven
geance. Next to the new tele-
vision set, the dishwasher seems
to be the American family's most
talked-of possession. Last year
5000 dishwashers having a re-
tail value of some $50 million
were sold. And no housewife
needs to be told that new types
of canned goods are here today,
exactly as predicted during the
war in these columns.
IN THE SLOT - Along with
coasters, automatic vending ma
chimes of varying degrees of me-
chanical wizardry were another
favorite Things to Come" SUBJ
iect. OF course there's nothing
really new in vending machines
Back in 200 BIC. residents Of

Critical Season
By II. L. DUSENBERRY

nav - 0tAa III ~
of July on through August. This is
also the haying season, and for those
who have hay to put up, the dry
weather is welcome. The second crop
of alfalfa should have a good start
by now and will need a lot of water.
Alfalfa is one of the heaviest
water using crops we have In Mon
tana. In many cases the amount of
water applied is the limiting factor
in yield. You may have an excel
lent fertile soil with all other factors
favorable to maximum protection,
and still get only half a crop because
of poor irrigation practices. Usually
the soil will be ready for an irriga-
ton soon after the first crop is taken
off. Most of the soils in a normal
season will require two i~rrigations
for each crop of hay.
Light sandy or gravelly soils may
require a light irrigation every ten
days. Heavy soils may also require
lighter and more frequent irrigating,
due to the fact that it is difficult to
get much water into heavy soils.
Alfalfa will stand a heavy irrigation
on deep soils. Roots of the alfalfa
will feed as deep as five or six feet.
If the soil is deep and will absorb
large quantities of water at one time,
less frequent applications will be
required.
Soil Moisture
A good rule to follow is to keep
the soil moist, but don't over-irri-
gate. Over-irrigation on light soils
usually ear applying more than
3 or 4 acres inches of water at "A
time. For medium or heavy soils
more than 6 inches at one time
would probably be an over-irriga-
ton.
If you have a stand of new alfalfa
planted with a small grain nurse
crop it should be irrigated more fire.
quently than you ordinarily would
for small grain alone. Quite often
stands of alfalfa are lost because it
becomes too dry while the small
grain crop is being harvested. A
good practice to avoid this is to cut
the nurse crop for hay and then con-
tinue irrigating the alfalfa. With the
high price of alfalfa seed, it is inn
portant to get a good stand estab-
lished. The stand will affect the in
come from this land for the life of
the alfalfa, which is usually several
years. Why take a chance?
We are now approaching the crit
ical season for the irrigated pasture,
There is a tendency to let the pas
ture go too long between irrigations
In order to hold up carrying ca
pacity, you will probably need tc
irrigate it every 7 to IA days. The
pasture grasses feed mostly in thu
top two Or three feet of soil, so there
is no use making heavy application
of water. Stock should be taken of
the pasture while the water is beinj
applied.
Grass Seed
For grass seed planted with
nurse crop, the same rules and pre-
cautions are advised as for alfalf
with a nurse crop. Protect your in
vestment in grass seed and your FL
ture income from the pasture, eve
