Walden 1I. editor of "torn," who ran write as (lops no one else about this wondrous crop. "Go into a great corn field," he invites. "Go deep into that sea of corn. so deep that for a hundred yards in every - direction corn is surrounding you, standing; higher than your head. You will have placed yourself, then in the center of a distinct and special world. a world made up of earth, air, and cern. Nothing else. There is no wind; in the motion- less and brooding night there is no reason for any sound. But listen." "There is a whisper, a faint crackling, coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. It night be the ghost of a sound, imagined perhaps, But listen again. It isn't imagined, and it isn't the earn rustl- ing in the wind, for there is no wind. It is the minute stretching of a billion corn leases, stalks, husks, kernels. It is the dark t-hem- istry of earth, working upward through roots„ drawing Int through the standing plants, transmuting the essences of soil into lite. It is the sound of growth, a sound perhaps lira 'd by insects and other lowly creatures as a veritable mac of creation. You are as close, here, to the inner quirk of nature as ever you'll he.

H RO ICLES N „qc- M 1 h last two days have seen me very much occupied with one of the hardest jobs of the year. It might not be hard for everyone but it is for me. That job is get- ting ready for a five-day holiday. Since Partner will be "hatching" my Preparations have consisted mostly in leaving hint as well pro- vided rovided for as possible so that he can get his own meals with a mini- mum of effort. It is at such a time that a "frig" con:e in [nighty handy —a week's supply of pies, fruit and meat can be stacked up quite con venien tly. For me the hardest part of these pre -holiday preparations is keeping my head from wool-gath- ering. Last time I was away for a couple of days I took Partner's reading glasses away u'itlt me as well as my own! I was twenty miles from home when I discover- ed' what 1 had dune. The only thing 1 could do was phone home and break the news. So long as I let Partner know what happened I knew it would be all right as he had an old pair he could fall back on. Otherwise 1 could imagine him Stunting the house oyer --and maybe the Karn as well --toasting precious time and getting more u wondering re minute w O 1 provoked every mt what on earth had become of those "darn. fool glasses!"

And 1 thought—what a thing 11 is to be young! \ly travels this time are laking me In a point just outside Ottawa. It will be a sort of busman's holi- day since these friends of ours also live on a faros. However. I ant hoping to see a little bit of Ottawa, as well as the farm where I shall he staying. Of Littlest., everythntg happens at once. Last weelc we had a visi- tor staying with ns until Priday.

When mother doesn't feel like pushing, baby takes over, and when he grows up, this Japanese lad will just re- move the bars and presto, he'll hove a tricycle. and decided it didn't show much promise as a seed crop. Unfor- ttiaately, by the time one ran be sure of seed possibilities the alf- alfa is a little too advanced to make good hay. However, one has to lake that chance. There is still threshing to be done in this neighborhood. What with catchy weather and waiting for the threshing machine it must have seemed like a long-drawr out harvest to our neighbour -Farmers --longer, probably, than when the crop was stowed away in the barn to await the arrival of the thresh- hig machine- Once in the barn worries itt connection with wet weather were at an end in those by -gone days. Partner and 1, in conversation with fanners from various other localities, have discovered that many of them prefer ,the old meth- od of harvesting•—if they had the 11017 Ili cope with it.' They con- tend it is less wasteful and less expensive. '1.'e feel that way our- scldes, The Canadian Countryman and Panner', Advocate in. 'rWeldwood Jottings" gives some in teresting' ..figures along these lines. It says, in part—"Machinery takes the hard manual labour out of 'the grain har- vest, but at considerable east. $2 an acre for swathing, $6 for com- bining and $12 an (tour for putting the straw in the barn makes pres- ent day harvesting expensive, par- ticularly with a light crap of straw and grain. It cost 32 cents a bushel Inc use of machinery and operator to harvest 15 acres of oats on a t'ustom basis, besides the farm help in handling the grain and gather- ing in the straw." The last sen- tence is significant because, in spite of high-priced machinery, manpower is still necessary for fi- nal handling of any. -kind of crop, including hay. • • „ SCHRAMM PORTABLE & STATIONARY 'COMPRESSORS PUMPS.

Worst Year The plain troth.about murder is that the chances of getting away with it are unfortunately favorable. This was revealed In a murder chart prepared by t)ie 7lonle Office for the Royal Commission on Cagi- tal Punishment. Between the years 1900 and 1948 there were 7,318 murders known to the pollee. Lt 1,635 cases file suspect committed suicide. Only 3,042 successful arrests were made, so that 2,641 murderers es- caped unscathed 'These were mur- ders known to the, police. How many unknown murders hapileiied within that same period nobody'San tell, but experts estimate that three out five of all murderers are get- ting away with it. The worst 'year this century was 1945, when 218 people were killed - and the police failed to arrest 119 of the killers. Assuming that murderers enjoy a normal length of life, Home Office figures reveal that there are at least 1,200 of them mi xi nig freely with their fellow -citizens to -day. Although this may be alarming, we can tater comfort in the fact that it is ram for any but the profes- sional killer to strike twice. And professional killers are very few in that country. Most notorious of recent times was Haigh, who is thought to have destroyed nine people, Human Vampire Startling facts came to light be- fore the eyes of Scotland Yard in 1947 when they began a search for a missing widow, .Airs. Olive Dea- con. Several cases of persons who had mysteriously disappeared over a period of three years were linked together. The circumstances were strikingly similar. In each case letters had given the suspected murderer power to dispose of the property of his vic- tim, but so skilfully had those doc- uments been forged no suspicion arose at the time- Studying these cases, the Yard found that all the victims had business transactions with, and were friends, of, one par- ticular man: The flat which this man had rented was searched, and experts found clues which made then think that human bodies had been disin- tegrated on the prcnui-e, tit rneaus of an acid blab. The accusing finger of justice started to point in . the direction of John George Haigh. For years he had escaped discovery, but he had made a fatal mistake in his latest killing, that of Airs.
