Farmer Should Read Contract
For Egg Production Carefully

The advent of broiler contracts
farmifig in North Carolina has cre
ated the desire to extend con
tracts to other fields of poultry
production.
For exantple, many farmers are
now being awarded contracts to
produce broiler hatching eggs.
. But unfortunately, says €. F.
Parrish, poultry specialist for the
N. C. Agricultural Extension Serv
ice, some farmers are not taking
time to read their contracts; espe
daily the finer print.
As a result, Parrish added, they
are laboring under contracts which
offer them little, if any, hope of
ever being able to pay the feed
bill; let alone receive any compen
sation for their labor and ex
penses.
“Producers of hatching eggs
could well afford to consult their
agricultural agent on the average
cost of producing hatching eggs,”
Parrish said. “Few farmers are
able to produce broiler strain
hatching eggs over a consistent
period of time for less than 55
cents per dozen.
“Where feed, cost is five dollars
or more a hundred,, the cost of
producing a dozen hatching eggs
is many times in excess of 60 cents
a dozen.”

^Successful preservation of living
bone marrow cells in a frozen state
for life-saving use in persons ex
posed to radiation was announced
by Veterans Administration.
The accomplishment by a re
search group at the Long Beach,
Calif., VA hospital will for the
first time make possible bone mar
row storage in hospitals, VA said.
Dr. Nathaipel B. !^urnick, chief
of the VA hospital’s hematology
service, who heads the group, said
intravenous injection of the stored
marrow has produced dramatic im
provement in low blood counts of
cancer patients following radiation
therapy and could be equally use
ful for persons exposed to radiation
injury in nuclear accidents.
Dr. Kurnick said the marrow
stored and administered to the can
cer patient following radiation
therapy is the patient’s own.
Because of the immune reac
tion which each human being de
velops against the cells and tis
sues of others, doctors have not
been able to transplant healthy
bone marrow cells from one per
son to another except in identical
twins.
Bone marrow was taken from
four cancer patients at the hospi
tal, Dr. Kurnick said.
The marrow was slowly frozen
in glycerol to keep ice crystal at
a minimum and was maintained at
minus 79 degrees Centigrade.

fej^Dr. Kurniek said. - |
After radiation therapy, when
the patients’ blood showed a dan
gerously low level of vital elements
because of injury to the bone mar
row, the preserved, marrow was
brought back to normal tempera
ture and injected.
No adverse reactions to the in
jections were ^noted. Dr. Kurnick
said. He said growth of new bone
marrow cells was noted within
weeks after the injections and
blood counts returned to nearly
normal within a month to six
nied by the Veterans Administra
tion will now have their claims re
viewed, according to Sumner G.
Whittier, Administrator of Veter-
a'hs Affairs.
These veterans are those whose
claims were disallowed by VA aft
er World War IF and prior to 1955
for the reason that their claimed
disabilities were not shown at the
time of their last examination.
The VA for the past several years
has been conducting a review for
errors in compensation and pen
sion claims allowed after World
War U, and veteran organizations
had requested a similar review of
disallowed cases.
Consequently, a pilot study was
ordered in March, 1958, by Mr.
Whittier to determine whether a
broadened review of disallowed
claims was in order. The pilot stu
dy was carried on in seven regional
offices in widely-separated sections
of the nation;
By far the largest source of the
comparatively few errors discover
ed was the category “disability not
shown at time of last examination.”
A full review is being ordered of
the more than 280,000 disallowed
claims in this category.
“Although I was most gratified
to learn from the pilot study that
the overwhelming majority of cases
had been properly adjusted,” Mr.
Whittier said, “I feel that a broad
ened review is in order as a matter
of policy and complete fairness to
the veterans involved.”
Projecting the fjnds of the pilot
study to the disallowed claims in
volved in the broadened review
indicates as many as 2,000 veteran-
claimants might be found eligible
for monetary awards, he explained.
Q—If I take out the new GI in
surance disability rider, which pays
up to $100 a month for total dis
ability after six months, will the
amount my beneficiaries would get
under-the 'policy be reduced?
A—No. Disability payments made
under the rider in no way decrease
the amount j^aid to beneficiaries of
your GI insurance policy.

State Gas
Tax Can Be
Deducted
With the approach of the April
15 deadline for Federal Income
Tax returns. North Carolina car
owners were reminded this week
that a large part of the gasoline tax
they paid in 1958 is deductible.
The North Carwina Petroleum
Committee, in issuing the remind
er, noted that Internal Revemie
Service instructions specifically al
low itemized deduction for state
gasoline taxes, auto license fees
and state and local retail sales
taxes. 'The added three-cent federal
gasoline tax, however, is not.^ de
ductible.
North Carolina’s state gasoline
tax is seven cents a gallon, and in
1958 cost motorists a total of $97
million.
N. W. O’Haver, chairman' of the
North Carolina Petroleum commit
tee, said that many car owners, in
computing their gasoline tax deduc
tions, may be surprised to discover
how much they pay in gasoline
taxgs in the course of a year.
He noted that 834 gallons a year
is the figure the U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads gives as the average
consumption of motor fuel per ve
hicle in North Carolina, * but he
pointed out that this is merely a
guide, and that individual gasoline
tax deductions must be computed
in terms of actual car usage
