Retirement Racket

\
bureaucratic corruption is to be
found in the disability retirement
racket, which has been worked
by too many q grasping American
for a number Of years. The dis
ability retirement system has
been exploited by tens of thous-
sands of healthy Americans, and
this racket is costing every
American taxpayer today.
When one considers that about
six billions of dollars are spent on
veteran-benefits every year-one
of the largest chunks in the bud.
get-the conclusion is usually
reached that they being adequate.
ly cared for. But the Veterans
Administration no longer handles
the disability retirement pay
ments to former members of the
Armed Service and so additional
money is appropriated for these
payments to the services them.
, selves.
Perhaps this makes the spend
ing of these large sums appear
more justified to the taxpayer,
but the real story is not so pleas
ant. For many years smart
dealers have been taking advant-
age of the law to grab monthly
disability retirement payments of
as much of two, three, four, or
five hundred a month! And
some draw much more. Some
former members of the services
have been drawing such sums,
monthly for a period of years,
termed as disability m y.
Many are actually not disabled to
any extent, carry on a full.time
whrking schedule in their private
business.
The sad part of this tale is that
there are many former veterans
who are actually in desperate
need for care, and if the govern
ment wasn't paying out countless
sums of money to the undeserved
funds would be available for
their care. There are many
cases where ex-service men are
ALPHABETICALLY dying-of tuber-
culosis, or some other diseaee,
and where the VA hospitals can.
not care for them. VA officers
have said recently that it is prac-
tically impossible to get former
veterans suffering from TB or
mental disorders into a VA hospi-
tai is many sections Of the count
ry at present. if the disease was
contracted after release from SER
vice.
The excuse for this is that
these unfortunates acquired their
disease when out of the service.
In other words, it was not a SER
vice-connected disabilito. This
reasoning sounds pretty thin
when one sees a number of fat
cat farmer officers in his COM
munity drawing several hundred
dollars a month from the govern
ment, while they work full time
in t h cir own business. The
excuse for this is that they re-
ceived some disability while on
active duty.
On the other hand, a fellow
suffering from TB, and dying, |
might have served ten years in !
the service, all of it overseas, and
yet he isn't even able to get
medical care. In theory one can |
see how the law was written. In
actual practise the sy stem stinks. |
Congress ought to plug the loop-
holes in the law, which allows
former service men not in need tol

out of the treasury, at a time
when facilities aren't available to
handle emergency cases involving
ex-veterans in need. - Reporter. |

When it takes 20 bushels or
more per acre to pay the cost of
production you can't afford to ig-
more any step that may bring in
an extra bushel or two, Strayer
points out
Some farmers believe that once
a field has been inoculated with
the proper bacteria, there is no
longer any need to inoculate each
time soybeans are planted. Though
the bacteria that form nodules and
fix nitrogen on the roots of soy
beans can live over in the soil
from year to year, they fail to do
SO many times. For this reason
many fields of soybeans fail to
form nodules on their roots.
When a soybean crop doesn't set
nodules, it may mean loss in
yield as high as 20 bushels per
acre, Strayer says. Since uninocu-
lated soybeans do not supply their
own nitrogen, it may mean that
more of the soils nitrogen will be
drawn out than can be replaced by
$40 worth of commercial fertilizer
per acre.
Strayer points out that with
most god rotations soybeans are
not grown on the same field more
than once in three to five years.
Under these conditions agronom-
lists say it will pay to inoculate.
Even on land where the bacteria
have successfully wintered over,
freshly inoculated fields are apt
to outyield uninoculated fields.
This increased yield is brought
about because inoculating the seed
places live, active bacteria where
they can go to work at once in
stead of having to wait until the
roots grow out to the bacteria.
incubation should be as much a
part of every good farmers prac-
tices as the use of high yielding
varieties, weed control, proper
planting and careful combining
