the case OF fire insurance, those who
suffer the risk have protected themselves
in advance against a crushing financial
burden; others who are fortunate enough
to escape the catastrophe in any one
year realize that another year they may
not be 50 lucky.
question; Since there are a few volun-
tary programs providing insurance
against the costs of hospital or medical
care, why do we need a compulsory in
surance plan for these services?
Answer: Voluntary hospital insurance
is more OF less satisfactory as far as it
goes, but it does not go far enough. Vol
untary medical care insurance is still
more limited in the projections afford
ed. One Of the most serious limitations
Of voluntary insurance systems is i'm
posed by the inability Of low-income
groups to Join these plans. Voluntary
insurance is excessively costly-partly as
a result of bad selection of risk, " partly
because Of selling costs, high salaries,
profits and other business costs. Ad-
ministrative and overhead costs for in
dividual accident and health insurance
policies usually run from 30 per cent to
more than so per cent of the premiums.
The figures are lower but still high for
such group insurance policies. Even
plans similar to the Blue Cross, which
are nonprofit organizations, have usually
charged their members about and
one-half times as much as the cost of
the hospital services provided.
The membership of these voluntary
insurance plans has come largely from
middle-income groups. The very people
who need such protection most-the low
income groups-are unable to afford it.
Millions of others who also need the
insurance protection are not actually
covered by voluntary plans.
Less than 4 per cent of our population
is today covered by voluntary medical
care insurance and most of the plans
are grossly inadequate in the types Of
services they provide. Too often they
are limited to groups or states for mem
bership or payment of services. Con-
sumers cannot obtain full benefits from
such plans if they leave the operating
area Of such plans. This inadequacy
tends to make such plans as hit and
miss insurance.
The disqualification insurance plans
now cover less than 10 per cent of the
population. If they continue to get as
many members each year for the next 10
years as they did in their very best year,
they would in 1854 cover less than rs
per cent of the population.

to be soaked or "retted" to get the fibre.
Hemp has an Indian origin and from
it wa derived "hasllsh," a narcotic
drug with which certain gangs in India
steamed themselves up to the point Of
murder. We still keep that in our Ian
guage when we say Assassin" NOW We
have the Jap navy pretty well fenced in
and can ship in the hemp and use our
land for corn.
A Stroke Of Genius
The stroke of genius in the move is
the thought Of using the idle plants
and remembering that they existed right
in Montana. The heat to dry the hemp
came from the offal and leaves. The
heat to dry the corn will come from the
cobs. A little change in machinery may
be necessary-hemp sticks to the con-
veyor belts but corn does not, so wire
netting has to be attached to the sides
to keep the corn in place. That's a
minor matter, but it shows how adapt
able the hemp drier is for the job.
Lost without Unity
In that corn area the eta is not
strong. 1t has been more involved in
handling wheat and small grains. MOI
is the Farmers Union a predOminating
element there. If the GTA was created
only to benefit the co-ops, the corn pro-
ducers might have been neglected

op. idea, preferring his own way of in
dividualism. With farmers in these
times it can no longer be: Every man
for himself and the devil take the hind
most" In times of rotting corn or OF a
depression, a majority become the hind
most" and are lost without the unity
that is cooperation.

CO-OPTIMIST OF THE
FARMERS GRAIN
TERMINAL GROUP


According to the Congressional Record
of February IA, a number Of Republican
senators from the corn area Of the Mid
west were holding a lodge Of sorrow over
the desperate situation that confronts
the corn producers Of the United states.
Senator Wherry, Republican whip from
! Nebraska, mourned and would not be
comforted over the prospective bss Of
100 million bushels Of corn in Nebras-
ka; Senator Reed of Kansas revealed
the loss of corn due to rotting in his
state and others such as Senator Hcken-
looper Of Iowa. Senator Shipstead Of
Minnesota and Senator LANCER united in
a deploring chorus. The trouble seemed
to be that % the corn was rotting from
moisture and the warmth Of spring and
G2) that it could neither be moved to
feed hogs and cattle nor could it be
shipped to terminals for drying because
there were no box cars available. Sena-
tor Reed had the blues over the pros
pect Of having 100, 1000 box cars being
shipped to Europe in the next four
months and asked bitterly if our govern
ment had no consideration at all for the
home folk.
Preferred the corn
The picture they painted provoked
sympathy not only for the farmers who
will lose heavily in the ruin Of their
corn but for the nation which has be-
come the bread, butter and meat basket
Of the world. Those senators sure could
talk. But subsequent issues Of the Rec
ord showed no evidence Of action. Moth
ing was done about it. Curiously enough
at almost the moment when this cOlum-
mist was reading their moving speeches
a comparatively inconspicuous leader
was talking over long distance to wash
ington. D. G., from the back room Of
GTA offices in st. Paul He was con-
tacting Secretary Of Agriculture Wick
ard. getting him to agree to lease eight
hemp-drying plants in Minnesota to the
GTA for use in drying the moisture
laden corn. Yes, that was NJ. w
Thatcher following the %precedents Of his
whole nfe-doing something about it for
the farmers. Monday morning, March
26. the first drying plant opened at Bird
Island. in Renv1le county, to take in the
wet corn and dry it-at no profit to
the GTA-and the other seven, at
Hutchinson, Lake Lillian, Grove City,
Sherburne, wells, Jackson and Mont
will be doing the same as fast
as they can get going. Sure, we like
senatorial oratory, but we're like the
rooster in the fable who passed up the
gem at his feet and preferred the corn
for n~ourishment.
Idle Hemp Driers
How did those big hemp-drying plants
get idle? We had to have hemp for rope
and Irvine and when the Japs cut us off
from the Philippines and India, Our
farmers started growing it, at govern
ment request. Hemp differs from flax
in that it needs drying, whereas flax has

Vitamins

The vitamin conscious housewife
will be interested to know how can
ming and storage affect the vitamin
content of grapefruit, one of the
more important sources of Vitamin
c. Results of recent tests made on
canned unsWeetened grapefruit
juice stored in IL Florida canning
plants show that at the end of two
months the juice contains 95 per
cent of its Vitamin C; after four
months 80 per cent remains; and
at the end of six months. SO per
cent.
Grapefruit have also been tested
to discover at what stage of ripeness
they are richest in Vitamin c. 1t has
been found that the juice from i'm
mature fruit is richest in Vitanin c.
However as the fruit ripens and be-
comes juicier the available Vitamin
c content increases. Hence the ripper
fruit is the better buy.
