The Seaforth News, 1956-01-05, Page 3TIE FARM MT 0612ussigi Once or twice previously 7 Have quoted dispatches from Washington telling how the folks over there are having their troubles with "crop con- trol" and the ever-increasing problem of shrinking farm in- - comes and increasing farm ,costs. The following is along the same line and well worth read- ing, if only tau assure ourselves that our "big brass" down lar Ottawa are not alone in their. bewilderment, .. * * This administration is not proposing anything in the na- ture of the killing of little pigs, but in the "soil bank" idea it is advocating that farmers be paid for not producing. It is proposing to spend an estimated $1,000,000,000 over a 10 -year period to encourage farmers to stop producing so much wheat, cotton, and corn, There is no doubt that the idea is compeitely -abhorrent to Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, But it is equally obvious that he has little choice in the hatter. His opponents may not have succeeded in freezing hila out of the Presi- dent's Cabinet, but they have enforced the "politics first" poi - icy as far as the farm program is concerned. What is proposed in the soil bank is the retirement of land from production - the govern- ment paying the farmer to take so many acres out of the sur- plus crops. Some of the money Will go toward the cost of conversion. Some of it will go in cash pay- ments - thus helping to boost aiaa3m income. The Farm Bureau • :Aeration has proposed that payment fright be `cut -rate - grain from the government. In Other words, the government would sell back to the farmer at a low price the grain it has purchased from him at the sup- port price. Thins, it would pay him twice for the commodity. No one really knows at tl'tis moment how much it will cost the American taxpayer to foot such a bill. Estimates say it might. cost $500,000,000 for the first 18 months, and then on into the billions as time goes on - depending on the length of the program. Mt as ill the case of price su port, once such a program has been initiated and cash be- gins flowing to the •farmer, it is hard to take it away - par- ticularly for politicians, Not that lite idea in itself is impractical. It is obvious that farmers are putting into pro- duction land that should be turned to conservation, at least for a thus, M * n But paying the farmer to do what he obviously should do MERRF MENAGERIE 1:24 • ,P,ar: les"n "Well, look at Sir Walter aslei:.h," , . Fashion Hants .. . will he hard to explain to city voters. Yet in any form emer- gency, the economic welfare of the whole country is involved, so essential is food production to the nation and so closely linked is farm prosperity to all prosperity. The American Farm Bureau Federation, representing more than 1,500,000 farmers in its membership, and one of the most conservative of the three organizations, has just voted for the soil bank plan, In fact, it has been proposing just such a plan for a number of years. * * * There is no doubt that the administration has been forced to adopt it becaue of election - year uncertainities due in large measure to the continued slump in farm income. It will stick to its guns on the practibility of flexible price supports, however. as compared to the Democratic - proposed return to a rigid 90 per cent level. The government already has more than $7,000,000,000 tied up in price -support operations - not . all money down the drain, to be sure, since some of these commodities will be resold. But losses in the conduct of the program 'run higher and higher. yy��+ ¢¢��t�°� �!' �` ,per 7. Every one 228, T.oanted C3ROSS'WO D S. Adher 9, Adhere 20, l 87. Beast ill. Pt lots PUZZLE 11.

Republican poli- ticians are clamoring fon a so- lution. The soil -bank plan is seen as a quick way of pulling land out of production and giving farm- ers a hunk of cash to bolster in- come at the same time. It is considered a relatively short- term operation, the theory be- ing that as production is cut back surpluses will be liqui- dated. * *. When the great surpluses now overhanging the market and depressing prices are gone, it is expected the present flexible price -support system will oper- ate effectively under normal production conditions. It has been estimated that under the soil -bank -plan, some 25,000,000 acres will be taken out of production, Skeptics question whether this will bring the reduced production which has been figured, for, say they, farmers can still use more fer- tilizer on the crops. which they do grow and step' up the yield of acres already' at work, 3 * * One good thing, however, will be the retirement of marginal 14 ed. a se d The Dead For A Living If an Irish farmer of Orrey, Tyrone, had let his song W,Iliam Burke, take possession of a potato patch and set` up as a farmer, the notorious "Burke and Hare" murders would prob- ably never have happened, and some sixteen Edinburgh people would have died normally in- stead of being skillfully cut to pieces. . Born in Orrey in 1792, William Burke displayed no peculiar characteristic in his early life which picked him out as differ- ent from the average young man of his class and time. Largely uneducated, he found a job as house -boy at the manse of the local Presbyterian minister. Later, he became baker, wea- ver , and soldier in fairly quick succession. His enlistment in the militia was, for a seven-year term, most "pl it ,spent as an officer's batman. He now had "a wife and three children. • On his, discharge from the army he returned 'with his wife and children to his father's home, He had an ambition to become a farmer and asked his father 10 let him have a large potato patch. His father curtly refused and a, bitter quarrel ensued, which .ledl.10 his deciding to leave Leland. }Ie de-seected' his family and went across to Glasgow. Here he ,obtained work lin the Union Canal as a navvy aid pickk'd up a woman named Helen Mc- Dougal. Though she had been a coarse -looking beauty in her time, Helen then• was nothing more than an ugly and ill-tem- pered drab. On the other hand, a contemporary described Burke as . having a r'down - looking sleazy look of a dog." He was short and thick of frame, with a round full face, an insignific- ant nose and a sullen expres- sion. • Together they drifted to Ed- inburgh where they became lodgers at Log's Boarding House. Here they met William Hare, of whose early life little is known. Hare was a tall, thin creature, "gruesome and ghoul- ish" of appearance,' having a "hollow -ground" face, and grey eyes under thick eyebrows. IIe was more than friendly with the widowed landlady, Margaret Laird, One day Old Donald, one of the lodgers, died -owing Hare £3 in arrears of rent. To Hare the event*as a minor catastro- phe. Then it was he thought of the body -snatchers, those soul- less ghouls who raided cemeter- ies for freshly -buried bodies to sell to the anatomy schools for medical dissection. At that time the bodies only of "malefactors, foundlings and • suicides" could be turned over to medical schools for dissection by apprentice doctors, and the demand for bodies far exceeded the supply. Hare and Burke switched a load of bark for the body in the coffin. They knew a likely client, a Dr. Knox, who had a reputation for paying good prices and no awkward ques- tions asked. So Burke and Hare visited Dr. Knox, struck' a bargain, re- turned in due course with the body of "Old Donald" and ex- changed it for then large sum of £7 10s. Their feet were set on a grisly path of easy money. Another lodger, Joseph, a miller, was dying of fever. But he wastaking, so long over the job thatitlit partners helped him on the way by stifling him with a pillow. , His body brought them £10: A third body -that of another lodger, a sick Eng- lishman -followed soon after The deceased had neither friends nor relatives to ask awkward questions; the appar- ent burial of the bodies in pauper graves (coffins stuffed with bark) satisfied the neigh- bours. But now the supply of sick lodgers ended, So, acting as decoys, Helen McDougal and Margaret Laird lured "clients" into the lodging -house. The first of these, it is believed. was an old woman named Abigail Simpson, a seller of "salt and cemstone," Other female bodies followed, the number being uncertain. By then Burke, Hare & Co.. were prospering. They dr'e'ssed bet- ter and, when not engaged in "business," spent the time ca- rousing, Among their early victims was a faded woman named Mary Haldane. When later on her daughter met Burke and Hare, the latter lured her also to the house, saying they had news of her mother. But between to deaths of the two IIaldanes came the affair of Mary Paterson and Janet Brown. Both were young, but Mary Paterson possessed an ex- traordinarily beautiful face and an exquisite. flawless body, • In the early morning hours, Burke came across the two girls in a grog -shop. Both were more than half drunk and hadn't eaten for twenty-four hours or so. Burke set about making them even drunker with ' the aid of rum and beer. and then took them to his brother Con- stantine's home which was close by. Constantine, aroused from sleep, took little interest in his brother's affairs and let them in. A little later be went off to his work. By then Mary was asleep, sprawling across a table, but Janet; befuddled though she was, declared she had to go. As she left, IIare arrived. It set- tled Mary Paterson's fate. That night her lifeless, but still beautiful, body was deliver- ed to Dr. Knox. Though one medical student at least recog- nized the corpse, her untimely death awakened no suspicion .beyond th o s e harboured by Janet, Their success and continuing prosperity, made them ,brazenly careless,'fer the murderers now chose to kill and dispose of in the same manner a young im- becile named Daft Jamie.' In- offensive, harmless and lovable, Daft Jamie ' was known and liked all over Edinburgh, For the first time, the sight • of a cold; still 'toddy. instantly • recognized, brought Pear into the Kncm< establishment, Though several students declared it was Daft Jamie; Dr, Knox refuted it. Yet his first order on the dissection procedure was to re- move the head and the . deform- ed foot -the two, -outstanding features which would make the bedy recognizable to -investiga- tors. Then followed the Decherty affair -and their las' murder. Mrs. Docherty, an old Irish woman, was taken home by Burke after he had claimed that he, too, was a Docherty. To celebrate the occasion they threw a large party. Living with Burke at the time were some lodgers, a Mr, and Mrs, Gray. To make room. Burke suggested they spend the night out, which they did. When they. returned the next morn- ing, Burke warned Mrs, Gray to keep away from some straw in a corner of his room. Woman-like, she had to in- vestigate when the chance oc- curred -and found to her hor- ror the cold and lifeless body of Mrs. Docherty. Leaving the house, the couple hurried to the police. And within twenty-four hours all four had been arrest- ed, loudly protesting their in- nocence. Not until Hare turned King's evidence did the authorities make any headway with the case. For who can exhume, for the tell-tale post-mortem ex- ami,iation, a body already cut into pieces and destroyed in the interests of medical science? The trial, which began on Christmas Eve, 1828, saw the • public in such a state of excite• ment that 300 extra police had to be sent into Edinburgh as reinforcements. Burke and He- len McDougal were indicted on charges of killing Mary Pater - 5011, Daft Jamie and Mrs, Doch- erty. But only Burke was found guilty. The verdict against Mc- Dougal was "not proven" Dr. Knox, though implicated, also escaped justice. On January 28th, 1829, Wil- liam Burke was hanged before a vast, morbid crowd who oc- cupied every window and van- tage point to see the execution. With poetic, ironic justice, his body was sent to a rival medi- cal school for dissection. Mean- while, Hare disappeared, as did the two women. Yet the murders did achieve something. Three years after Burke's death the Anatomy Act was passed, which removed for all time the motives which made the Burke and Hare mur- ders possible. Go To Grass; To be healthy, eat grass. So say scientists George O. Kohler, W. R. Graham and C. F. Schna- bel of Kansas City. They claim to have established, after four years of experiments, that grain grass contains all the vitamins xcept D, and has 28 times more vitamins per pound than dried fruits or vegetables. To make grass fit for human consumption, chemists have dried, bleached and ground the leaves of wheat, barley, oats and rye, and produced a slight malt flavour. They have eaten this . grass during severe winters, caught no colds, and enjoyedexcellent health. Now several U.S. fac- tories are making powdered grass on a commercial scale. Approximately cost is only a few pence per pound. "The use of only twelve pounds of pow- dered grass a year," said the grass -eaters to the American Chemical Society, "will supply th enecessary supplementary fac- tors for a ligeral diet to all U.S. families at a price they can af- ford for the first time in his- tory."

Luke 11:22, The modern way to make friends and influence people is to say to them the things that please them, Jesus didn't follow the modern line. He was more concerned about helping' people than pleasing them. Hence we find him on this occassion stern- ly rebuking his hearers. He said, "This is an evil generation: they seek a sign." Nineveh repented at the preaching et Jonas but this generation was unrepent- ant though a greater than Jonas was here, Likewise the Queen of Sheba carne to hear the wis- dom of Solomon but this gen- eration were unheeding of a greater than Solomon, This gen- eration had great light but were not taking advantage of it. Hence their condemnation would be the greater, While at the home of a Phari- see Jesus struck out boldly at the sham of this most religious group of the day. They fussed about ceremonial washings while their hearts were filled with wickedness. They were careful to tithe the most min- ute plants such as mint, This was fine. "These things ought ye to have done," said Jesus. But the Pharisees passed over judgment and the love of God. The Pharisee loved the front seats in the synagogue. Most people don't. We have been told of one man who conies late to his seat near the front. Hie competitors say he does it for advertising. Perhaps they are wrong: perhaps they are right. God knows. God knows our hearts, We may fool some people by ap- pearing religious on Sunday while we cheat and flirt with other men's wives during the week. But we don't fool God. He knows the motives and will judge us accordingly. Mean- while God detects hypocrisy. Let us be honest with our- selves' and it will be easy to be honest with our associates.
