SAYS CUTTING THREE CROPS OF ALFALFA IS JUSTIFIED THIS YEAR Drought and sunshine are main reasons why this is one year when farmers who need hay badly are fully Justified in cutting three crops of alfalfa instead of two, L. F. Gra-ber.

agronomist at the college of agriculture, university of Wisconsin, has informed O. P. Cuff, Winnebago county agricultural agent. While there are risks in cutting more than two crops in Wisconsin, the impending shortage of hay warrants the risks involved in taking the extra crop. If a third crop of alfalfa is cut, it must not be cut during the time the plant is getting ready for winter, Mr.

Graber warned. Alfalfa gets ready to hibernate from about Sept. 10, to the middle or latter part of October. The third cutting must not be tak-en during that period, but should be cut before Sent. 10 or after the middle of October.

"I am assuming, of course," Mr. Orabrr said, "that there will be sufficient rain to produce three crops. If so, the third cutting ought to be made, if possible, before Sept. 10. If the first crop was removed early and a fair amount of rain falls, 4 duction until the needs of the people are filled.

as a BREEZE I A Factory Close Out Sale Brings You 600 Pieces of High Qrade, First Quality (By Julius Frandsen, United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington U.R) Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Justice department's division of investigation plans to go to Chicago in a week or two to expedite the hunt for the rest of the Dillinger gang and all who aided the outlaw, it was learned Tuesday. No. 1 man on the federal list now Is George "Baby Face" Nelson, little, 25-year-old "trigger man" for Dillinger and a more ruthless killer than Dillinger himself. He is marked for death by federal agents for murdering their comrade, Carter Baum.

Close behind Nelson are John Hamilton and Homer Van Meter, Dillinger lieutenants; Charlel "Pretty Boy" Floyd and "Richard Galatis, wanted in connection with the killing of a federal agent and three police in the Kansas City Union station massacre; and Alvin Karpis, and Frank Berker, hunted for the Bremer kidnaping. Hoover said there was no 'basis for reports that Nelson had slipped out of a police trap near Sandusky, Monday night. "Besides the desperate criminals still at large," Hoover reiterated, "all persons who aided Dillinger or those of his type in any way, shape or form will be run down. "We got a lot of good clues to these people but had to put them on the shelf until we got Dillinger. Now we are going after them." It was believed federal agents in Chicago already were hot on the trail of the doctor who performed a plastic surgery operation on Dillinger to remove a scar.

As for reports that Dillinger's father intended to demand an investigation of the shooting of his son by federal agents who trapped him Sunday night, Hoover said: "Let him start any kind of an investigation he wants. "In this instance Dillinger actually had pulled his gun. We aren't going to have any more of our men killed. "The killing of Dillinger was perfectly justified and the coroner's Jury has settled that very effectively." The chief of federal agents emphatically and flatly denied reports from Chicago that Samuel P. Cowley, inspector in headquarters here who had been in Chicago two months helping direct the hunt for Dillinger, was the man who fired the shots that ended the desperado's career.

He said the government never would reveal whioh of the agents in the force that surrounded Dillinger did the shooting. Hoover indicated some of the federal force might be promoted for their part in the capture. It was believed that Melvin H. Purvis chief of the Chicago office, who personally led the party that trapped Dillinger, was likely to be among inose promoted. the second crop will be readv the latter part of July.

Those who cut their first alfalfa crop in late June should cut the second crop about the middle of August and let the third crop wait until late in October," For Immaculate Snow-White Shoes NEW LARGER BOTTLE HANDY TUBE Ka-Bo Cleaner 25' To be attractive white shoes must be.

DEMONSTRATION FIRST FLOOR (By Winthrop Lyman, United Press- Staff Correspondent) Indianapolis, Ind. The wax-like body of John Dillinger lay in a cheap pine casket today at the home of his sister in suburban Maywood. No longer was he the nation's ace criminal. Except to and close friends he was Just an object of curiosity waiting to be buried. Confidants were told the funeral would be held at 3 p.

m. today. The public, on advice of police, was informed that final rites would not be held until tomorrow. Dillinger was killed in Chicago, Sunday night, by federal agents as he walked out of a moving picture theater. His father, John W.

Dillinger, Quaker farmer from Mooresville, claimed the body yesterday. It was whisked back to Mooresville in an antiquated hearse today, taken to the funeral parlors of E. F. Harvey and viewed by more than 5,000 persons. AT SISTER'S HOME After the curious had been satisfied.

Dillinger's body was placed in the hearse again and brought to the home of Mrs. Audrey Hancock, his sister, at Maywood. She and the elder Dillinger were waiting. Behind a state police car, siren screaming, arrived the hearse. Undertakers carried the body into Mrs.

Hancock's bungalow. Empty box cars lay on an abandoned railroad siding across the way. People milled around the street. Police stood ready to keep away Intruders. Mrs.

Hancock waited until the cover had been raised on that casket. She buried her face in her arms and was led to the front porch. She sat in the swing beside Mary Kinder, a sweetheart of the Dillinger gang who had remained loyal and who had Just arrived from viewing the body at Mooresville. "The last time I saw Johnnie, he had a big smile on his face and said: 'Don't Mrs. Hancock sobbed.

Miss Kinder cried, too, and moaned, "Oh my God, Johnnie." The father, meanwhile, had gone to bed. exhausted from his trying experience. eis 70 years old. When Dillinger's body firtt was placed on view at Mooresville he was lying on a slab with wheels, covered only with a white sheet. 3,500 PERSONS STIFLED At least 3.500 persons walked by, stifling in the heat-choked room of the undertaking parlor.

His father and other relatives consulted in a rear room about clothes to be used in burying the body at Crown Hill cemetery. A Mooresville merchant offered a dark suit. "That won't do," the family agreed. "We must bury him in something light." An Indianapolis embalmer was told to sned down three gray suits. The one chosen was a herringbone.

The tie was gray with white dots, the. collar was starched. Doors of the undertaking parlor were ordered closed to visitors while L. W. Howell, an expert embalmer brought in from Infliana polls, dressed the body and used cosmetics to cover up ugly facial scars left by the federal men's bullets.

The crowd outside increased so rapidly that it was decided to give them another chance to view the body. "Some of these people have walked by here at least three times. Don't let them in again," ordered Harvey. When the new throng was admitted, Dillinger was lying in his silk lined casket. He looked like a wax model of himself.

His suit was too large, the flerves almost obliterating his hands. He had on patent leather shoes. Mary Kinder fought her way through the crowd, accompanied by her sister and Miss Jessie Levy, Indianapolis attorney and counsel for three of Dillinger's henchmen-Charles Makley, Harry Pierpont and Russell Clark. Makley and Pierpont are under sentence to die for killing Sheriff Jess 6arber, when they freed Dillinger from the Lima, Jail. Clark is under a life sentence on the same charge.

It has long been noted for wealth and luxury, and for gayety and elegance in manners and customs.

"It's John," she said.

"There's no doubt about it." Old timers at Mooresville those who had known the outlaw as a well-meaning ton of a Quaker farmer until he began his criminal career came out nodding their heads. "That's John. That's John," they muttered. the crowd that looked at the body were fathers and mothers with tiny babies in their arms, young girls, serious-minded grandmothers, farmers without shirts or even undershirts. On the lawn outside, children slept while their parents went in to view the body.

Mooresville restaurants, taverns, and other establishments did more business than on a bti'y Saturday night. Newspaper photographers were barred from the undertaking parlors except for 15 minutes when they were permitted to take as many pictures of the body as they pleased.
