cock county pursued Bone at 80
miles per hour but was unable to
catch him. No shots were fired at
the Cadillac because of the wo-
man in the car.
AS a result, one of the men
was identified by his bandaged
shoulder as the man shot by the
night marshal in Duck Hill.
Speeding toward the southwest
he dropped Burnell 80 miles from
Picayune and drove on to New
Orleans with Burnelps wife. They
spent Tuesday night in New Or
leans tourist court and then start
ed to Texas on the airline high
way.
Sheriff Tyler said that he and
Shelton had been working on the
safe-cracking case ever since the
Duck Hill episode. Stanley Wood
all was taken in that job but is
now out on bond.
Bonner was picked up at an
other Picayune hideout by Sher-
iff Virgil o. Birge, Of Poplar
vile. In this raid they found two
car tags, electric caps and fuses,
dynamite and safe-cracking tools.
Bonner had been sent back to the
hide-out to destroy this evidence.
On later visit to the hideout,
Tyler and Shelton found large
quantities of nitroglycerin hidden
there.
Further investigation by Shell
ton and Tyler revealed that some
of the wanted subjects had been
involved in safe-cracking jobs in
seven other Mississippi counties
from January Is to February z, in
which total of $4,000 in cash and
large amount of merchandise
was included in the loot.

Waterer Announces
Delta Council Drive

A Delta Council intensified
membership drive began on
March l to extend through 1850,
H. c. Waterer, Holmes County
Membership chairman, announced
today.
Reorganization of County and
Community Membership commit
tees has been completed in each
of the Is Delta and part-Delta
counties" Mr.. Waterer said. 1--WE
plan to contact each businessman,
farmer and. professional man in
the county who is not at present
a member and urge that he join
Delta Council at once
Mr. Waterer said the work of
Delta council through the pro-
motion of new crops and farming
methods, intensified research,
flood control, health, conservation
methods, livestock and industrial
development had resulted in the
saving of millions of dollars to
the Yazoo- Mississippi Delta area.
Delta council is not only a
farmers organization, it is just
as much a businessman's organiza-
ton. Everey person in the area, no
matter what their business or pro-
fession. profits because of Delta
council.
THE work, which is done
through 10 major committees
dealing with every phase of our
social and economic life, is the re-
suit of the combined planning and
action of the best informed and
most able men in our territory.
We believe that everyone who
knows the story of Delta Council
and what it stands for will want
to become a member"

Bone is also wanted for two
safe-cracking jobs in Water Valley
on January 80, when $500 and
large quantities of narcotics were
stolen.
He is also under a 20-year SEN
tence for shooting two Brook
haven police officers during a
robbery attempt last year. At the
time, he was put out on bond
pending an appeal to the supreme
court.
Police officers say that Bones
criminal record covers almost
three typewriter pages, that it
dates back to July of 1925, and
that he has spent a total of al
most Is years in various jails.
Investigation is still underway,
and more arrests are expected,
according to Shelton.
A safe combination was found
in Bones possession when he was
caught. The owner of this COM
bination is asked to get in touch
with James P. Shelton at the
sheriff's office in Winona, whether
his safe has been robbed or not.
The combination is as follows:
! L4-9o. R3-70. L2-30. R1-82.

Cotton Variety Test

Cotton variety tests conducted
by the Delta Branch Experiment
Station at Stoneville for the three
year average for 1916, 1947 and
1948 at six different stations over
the Mississippi Delta shows that
at Stoneville; Empire led all other
varieties, Delfos 9169 was End,
Stoneville 2-B was 3rd, Delfoes
651 was 4th.
AT Kelso Station in Issaquena
county Empire was 1st, Delfos
9169 was End, Coker 100 Wilt was
Bird, Coker 100 Staple was 4th.
At the Yazoo County Station
Empire was LIST, Delfos 9169 was
End, Stoneville 2-B was Bird and
Coker 100 Wilt was 4th.
At Money north of Greenwood
Delfos 9169 was LIST, Empire was
End, Delfos 651 was Bird and
Stoneville 2-B was 4th.
At Valley Hill Station Delfos
9169 was 1st, Stoneville 2-B was
End, Coker 100 Wilt was Bird and
Bobshaw was 4th.
At Jamestown in Cohoma coun-
ty Delfos 9169 was LIST, Stoneville
2-B was End, Coker 100 Wilt was
3rd and Bobshaw was 4th.
Empire seemed to be the ear
Hest Of the varieties of cotton
planted at these stations, picking
out from so to 80 per cent the
first picking and the gin turnout
was a little higher for the EN-
pire than for any of the other
varieties averaging about 81 per
cent lint.
The ten varieties of cotton un-
der tests at these stations were:
Bobshaw, Coker 100 Staple, Coker
100 Wilt, Delfos 651, Delfos 9169,
Delta Pine Is, Miller, Stoneville
2-B, Wilds and Empire. All Of
the above mentioned varieties
made exceptionally high yields
with the exception of Wilds. In
every test Wilds runs from 400
to 800 pounds seed cotton less
than the other varieties.
Coker 100 Wilt, Stoneville 2-B
and Empire seem to be your most
wilt resistant cotton. If you have
been subject to wilt on your land
it would be advisable to plant
one of the wilt resistant varie-
ties and plant as conditions will
permit in order that your cot
ton will be matured before the hot
dry weather conditions come.
BY all means carry out recon-
mended fertilizer recommended
tions as much as possible. Our
fertilizer recommendations for the
hill area and creek bottoms will be
four to five hundred pounds of
mixed fertilizer such as 5-10-5
and 6-88 on your stronger land.
On your weaker hill lands we
would recommend four to five
hundred pounds of mixed fertili-
ger plus 100 pounds of ammonium
nitrate as an early side dressing.
In the Delta area we would re-
commend one to one and one-half
sacks of ammonium nitrate per
acre where you can secure the
nitrogen. If you cannot get any
source of nitrogen by all means
use four to five hundred pounds
mixed fertilizer rather than using
no fertilizer at all.

GeneaIogist SeaTches
For Missing Heirs

CHICAGO, H., February "a -
Descendants of Reb Ware and nus
wife, Emma, whose maiden name
was Webb. or children or grand
children of the couples brothers
and sisters, are being sought IN
Mississippi to claim an estate OF
about $1,000 left by a relative OF
whom the heirs obviously never
heard. or have long forgotten.
This became known today when
Walter c. Cox, probate genealo-
gist. 2O8 S. LaSalle street, CHI
cago. who specializes in tracing
missing relatives to settle estates
took over the hunt with no clues
as to in what part of the state the
relatives may be living.
"Reb Ware and Emma WEBB
are known, however" Mr.. Cox
said, ito have married in Mlssis-
sippi, presumably in the LOCALITY
in which their families lived, in
about 1870, and remained there
for time afterward.
Since the estate was left by a
descendant who died without IS
sue, the children or grandchildren
of Mr.. and Mrs Ware should have
first claim to it. Should there be
no such descendants, then the des-
cendants of the couples brothers
and sisters would succeed to
claim, if they can be found, and
can prove the relationship"
