Medical Missionaries
Benefit Under Will Of
Harrison Parkman

The late Harrison Parkman,
purchasing agent for the Post
office Department from 1888 until
his death here July II, in his will
provided a portion of his 100000
estate for medical missionaries
abroad, it was learned today.
Mr.. Parkman's will has been
filed in the Lyon County Probate
Court in Kansas. his home State.
During her lifetime, his widow
will receive the income from the
entire residue of the estate. She
was named executrix.
After her death the estate will
be divided equally between the
Protestant Episcopal Church in
America and the Board of Mis-
sions and Church Extension of
the Methodist Church. The 1945
will mentioned China and India
as fields of missionary work in
which he was interested, but a
memorandum made a few years
later eliminated any geographical
restriction.
Mr.. Parkman died July II at
Doctors Hospital at the age of 68.
after heart attack. He lived at
the Raleigh Hotel here. Funeral
services were held at the Church
of the Epiphany and he was
buried in Emporia.
Probate Court records show that
Mr.. Parkman's assets included:
Government bonds. $89,077; postal
notes. $120; bank deposits, $4,000,
and personal belongings, $803.
He willed $4,000 to his sister. Mrs.
Elizabeth Hardcastle of Los An
geles. The Citizens National Bank
of Emporia will act as executor
of his estate after Mrs. Parkman's
death.

WASHINGTON, DC. - If you
were one of those directly beneath
the explosion of an atomic bomb,
there is practically no hope Of
your survival. Even If you lived
anywhere within a half-mile Of the
center of the explosion your chances
of living to tell the tale would be
about one in ten. From a half-mile
TO a mile away you have about
$3.50 chance and farther away than
that your chances are pretty good
that you will be able to help your
less fortunate neighbors.
And of course within these areas
your chances of injury are even
greater. But your chances Of re-
'covery from radioactivity or other
injuries are good.
And if you have a few minutes
warning of an impending air raid,
these chances are vastly improved.
What you should do, even if you
have only few seconds warning?
The first thing to remember is to
fall flat on your face. If you have
time to pick a spot to fall, choose
first to flatten out against cellar
wall, or even an inside wall, or
beneath a sturdy table or bench.
Or if you are outside, drop beside
the base of building, or fall into
a ditch or gutter And when you
fall, cover your face in the crook
of your arm, and cover any exposed
skin with whatever is handy and
hold it for several seconds after
the explosion to prevent flash
burns
To you folks in the home towns
OF the nation and in the rural areas
there is little danger of a direct
atomic bomb overhead, for the en-
envy would most certainly aim at
one or more of some sixteen stra-
tegic target areas in large cities
and industrial areas. But your
neighbors in your nearest large
city might suffer as follows: A sur
prise daylight attack on an aver
age city would produce about l20,-
900 casualties. OF this total, APP
proximately 10000 would be killed
outright or die the first day. An

WHEN WE ADDED our name to
w the roster of the United Nations
1t was our belief the organization
was founded on principles that
would make for world betterment
and aid materially in the outlawing
OF war. Incidents and events in con-
nection with the unprovoked ag-
gression, first of North Korea, and
then of Red China, have placed us
in the position of holding the bear
by the tail, with no assistance.
We were asked to start the
chastisement of North Korea
with the reasonable expectation
of support, both in men, NUM-
tons and cash in prOpOrtiOnate
numbers and amounts. With the
exception of some "tOken" con-
tributi0ns on the part of few
nations, both men and NUM-
tons. we have been left to
''hold the bag" against both
North Korea, and now the
hordes of Red China.
While our troops have been fight
ing a disastrous retreat before far
superior numbers. while we have
suffered more than $4,000 casual
ties in killed, wounded and missing,
while many thousands of the inno-
cent people of South Korea have
died from the attacks Of the Red
invaders, and the cold of hard
winter, their homes and property
destroyed jointly by the North
Korean anG the Red Chinese arm
les, America asked that Red China
be declared an aggressor, on the

facts.

facts of aggression, our troops re-

was not the fact of aggression. That
was a known fact, and, as such, was
not debatable. The question the del
egates we've to consider was to
charge Re China with the act of
aggression and brand her as an ag-
greSsor.
Every possible lOOphOle was
taken to prevent such a charge

The producer realizes that this
survival in the business of sugar
cane production depends upon his
obtaining a fair and reasonable
price for his produce. This price
must afford him a reasonable cost
of production plus a profit, based
upon local conditions to which his
crop is subjected.
The producers are of the opinion
that too large a percentage of the
value of the crop is being con-
stunned by costs other than the
cost of cultivation, with little and
in most cases nothing to represent
a profit.
The following data on the 1851
crop is submitted as evidence con-
corning the above statements:
|. -Sugarcane produced-441, 1858

upon the lowest price paid for

ers share of transportation cost. 6.
Based upon a yield of 10.1y the
professor sharing 37% a 1921
per cwt. Z. : 0.90 per cwt deducted
by the professor.
Very few of the producers have
kept records of the cost of cult
walton. 1t is therefore impossible
to determine with any accuracy
what the cost of cultivation was
for the estimated 1861 acres of
sugarcane harvested to produce
the 1851 crop. However, nine out
of every ten growers complain
that after taxes, land an equip
ment rentals, interest on the in
vestment and othe necessary ex-
penses have been deducted, they
have not earned as much as 80
cents per hour, for their labor,
that was required in the cultiva-
ton of the 1851 crop.
Studying the overall picture it
is seen where the producer re-
ceiveS a low percentage of the
N. Y. market value of his crop,
which allows him very little for
labor, which is a high percentage
Iactor in the cost of cultivation.

Gentlemen:
l am very glad for this oppor-
tunlty to present to you, testi-
mony, evidence and information,
in behalf of the producers Of sugar
cane in ST. Croix, concerning the
1851 sugarcane crop.
In doing so, let me state, the
opinions expressed are in con-
formity with the desires of the
majority of sugarcane producers,
not including the producer-pro-
cessor, OF this Island.
It is hoped that what is brought
to light herein will be of some con
trlbution towards the determine
ton of fair and reasonable prices
for the 1852 crop of Virgin Islands
sugarcane.
During the harvesting season of
the 1851 Sugarcane crop, covering
the period March 18th to July
29th, the producers of ~sugarcane,
other than the producer-processor,
delivered to the mills of the pro-
ducer-processor, A, 1876, 800 pounds
of sugarcane. This represented the
entire 1851 sugarcane crop, har-
vested and delivered to the mills
by the.independent sugarcane pro-
ducers of St. Croix. The producers
1851 crop was 21,332,300 pounds
less than that produced in 1850.
The producers 1851 crop was
purchased by the producer-proces
sol in accordance with the price
determinations issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, SD.
1888, Prices; Sugarcane; Virgin
Islands; 1851 Crop.
The producers referred to here
in, r comprised of over 500 in
dependent sugarcane growers.
This group and their dependents
represents approximately 1870 of
the Islands population. The in
come from sugarcane production
derived by this group is a very
important factor to the economy
of this Island.
The poor economy of sugarcane
production in this Island is gradu-
ally reducing the number of sugar
cane producers. Unless this situa-
ton can be improved, drastic
reductions are expected within
this group commencing after the
1c52 crop il harvested.
, 1951-10-04

Because of this the majority OF
producers cannot afford to employ
labor. They must work and re-
ceive a return much less than the
law would permit them to pay for
hired labor. If these conditions
cannot be improved the indepen-
dent producer of sugarcane must
eventually abandon his farm and
seek employment elsewhere.
1t can be argued that the in
dependent producers have suffer
ed losses due to low yields and
quality of sugarcane; and that by
employing improved methods OF
cane cultivation with the use OF
fertilizer, this situation will cor
rect itself without further assist
ance.
If this argument is presented
and investigated, it will be found
that;
First, if the average sugar
cane producer could afford tc
rent the equipment necessary
to carry out the recommended
practices for improved sugar
cane cultivation, he would find
that the equipment was not
available to his needs.
Secondly, fertilizer is expen-
sive and in most cases beyond
the means of the average pro-
ducer.
Thirdly, the acreage of the
average producer, is small, and
with the rental of equipment,
the cost of fertilizer; the cost
per acre would be greatly in
creased, to the point where a
larger financial risk would be
involved, should the lack of
rainfall cause an unusually
poor crop.
The greatest factor in increasing
the overall value of our sugarcane
crop is sufficient rainfall. Unless
there is sufficient rainfall to Signi-
fcantly increase the tonnage per
acre, the additional cost of apply
fertilizer and using new me-
thods of cane cultivation can
never be fully repaid. 1t is known
that the rainfall in st. Croix is
poor as compared to other sugar
cane producing areas. Therefore,
it cannot be expected that the
average yields and costs OF cane
cultivation in those areas can be
obtained here, nor that the same
basic payment scale should apply
here. The standards customarlly
considered in price determinations
cannot and should not be applied
in this area.
During the 1851 crop the pro-
ducer's sugarcane yielded 10.1
pounds of sugar for every 100
pounds of cane ground. During the
same period the producer-proces-
sor's sugarcane yielded 1908. This
is surely an indication that the
producers sugarcane is of good
quality, especially considering
that it did not have the benefit of
fertilizer or the up-to-date prac-
tees Of sugarcane cultivation.
The 1850 crop which was def
nitely the largest crop harvested
on this island, yielded an average
of 1913. This was an exceptional
year of abundant rainfall.
A yield in the vicinity of 10
pounds of raw sugar per loo
pounds of sugarcane ground, has
been accepted in this area as the
