IMPORTATION SERVICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q-I understand that recent leg
islation allowed veterans of
the Spanish-American War to
change from their older system
of pension payments to bene-
fits under the new law, if they
wish. Does this new ruling
also apply to the dependents
OF Spanish-American War vet
erans."
A-No, only to the veterans them
selves The veterans may elect
to take pension under the new
law, but their dependents. as
well as dependents of deceased
Civil War veterans, may not.
Q-I am the widow of a World
War ii veterans who never ap-
piled for a CT loan. I have
never remarked. Recently l
noticed that the deadline for
World ii CT loans had been
extended to July 25, 1862 Does
that mean my right to apply
for a loan was also extended

Help Yourself Dairy
Program Suggested

Want to upgrade your dairy
operation? There is a help-your-
self dairy program, so simple that
dairymen often ignore it but it's
been proved by practical use"
George Vapaa, county agent says.
He lists five components for his
help-your-self dairy improvement
program: Keep herd records and
use them; base your feeding pro-
gram on high quality forage; breed
cows to the best bull available;
produce high quality milk and in
vest in your markets.
Dairymen can't a fford to be
without records. There are several
types available, Mr.. Vapaa says.
You need records to Gull unprofit-
able cows, as a basis for selecting
good breeding stock and to feed
the herd according to individual
production.
Home grown pasture, hay and
silage can be a source of cheap
Milford chronicle., 1960-11-11

feed. He advises giving the cows
all the forage they will eat be-
fore higher priced feeds are offer
ed.
Scrub bulls sire scrub calves.
Requirements from such animals
can reduce production. Improve
ments in a herds production are
the result of a careful and plan
ned breeding program Artificial
breeding may be your best bet, he
says.
The production of high quality
milk means clean m ilk of good
flavor. Buyers like this kind of a
product.
On the matter of investing In
your market, he advises adjusting
herd production to season de-
mands.
Work for good public relations
with those with whom you come
in contact and let everyone know
that you're producing one of
natures most nearly prefect foods.

Recently interest rates have
declined at an amazing pace. A
few weeks ago the vast ma
jority Of government bonds OF
more than five years maturity
were selling at prices " HE h
gave yield Of above four and
cTe-fourth per cent. Today the
majority Of them are selling at
prices which yield less than four
and one-fourth per cent. This
four and one-fourth per cent is
useG as a reference point be-
cause that is the legal ceiling
on government obligations OF
five years or longer maturity
The rate on Treasury bills has
shown just as great a decline
Not long ago the government
paid five per cent for funds for
Just under five years. Today ii
has to ray only shade over
three per cent on both 90 and
l30-day bills. and the rate on
flve-year money would be about
four per cent.
Causes Of the Drop in Rates
This sharp decline in rates
was not expected. The follow
ing have been important in
bringing il about.
L. The demand for credit by
business has been less than had
been anticipated. Among t h e
factors leading TO this result
have been less need to borrow
for taxes. less volume of bust
-,ess than expected, less need
for funds with which to carry
entories. and in many in
stances because Of the weather
less need for cash for invest
mont in capital and equipment.

It would be pleasant to say
that We have seen the high of
interest rates for the indefinite
future. and it would be doubly
pleasant to say this if it were
based upon the fact that pri-
vate saving is increasing to the
point where it meets the de
fnand at current interest rates
But there Is no justification for
such a statement. We have not
increased saving, We have not
eliminated the underlying threat

"Everything has gone up in

High Profits
To answer the charge Of the
high percentage of profits with

The charge of a monopoly in
the drug business was his next
point of attack. He cited stats
tics showing there are 1900
manufacturers and that not enc
has as much as ten per cent Of
the business. He compared this
70 the 80 per cent holdings OF
General Motors in the automo-
bile industry.
Research Effort
He pointed out that five per
cent of the 1900 companies are
engaged in research, and must
charge for the cost of research
when a drug is first placed on
the market. The reason he cited
was that another COMPANY Dn'eht
come up with a discovery that
would make a newly marketed
drug obsolete Two hundred mil
lion dollars went for research
last year.
Dr. Weaver cited the need for
advertising ard promotion, an
other wrinkle in the Kefauver
findings. He said, Drug com
panies inform physicians of the
capabilities of medicines, and
am sure that is the way patients
want it. They want the best in a
home and by all means want the
best il medicine, not the obso-
lete."
He concluded with a comment
on the sale of drugs BY some
companies for less than others.
Some do not have research
costs, and some do not advertise
to physicians, thus reducing the
cost of their medicine" How
ever, he showed that most drugs
go through 1000 check-steps to
make certain they contain what
they are supposed to. A part of
the advertising program to ply
sicians. he said Patients don't
buy off-brand groceries for the
most part. and neither do doc
