Banks Leaders In Service To Farmers Indiana banks were serving farmers with more credit and. other financial services-* than any group of lenders at the beginning of this year, according to Herman H. Krueckeberg, executive vice president of the local First State Bank. Krueckeberg, who represents the Indiana Bankers association as Adams’county agricultural key banker, said that during 1962, the state’s banks maintained their leadership in agricultural credit services. Based on the 22nd annual farm lending summary of the agricultural committee of the American bankers association, Krueckeberg said that at the beginning of this year Indiana banks were helping farmers with $237 million in loans, four per cent more than a year previous. This total included slsl million in production loans and SS6 million in farm mortgages. At the same time, $154 million in farm loans were held by life insurance companies; SIOO million by the federal land banks; $73 million by production credit associations; and $lO million in non-real estate loans, plus s2l million in real estate loans by the farmers home administra-

Science Differs On Blood Cholesterol By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI)-Dr. George E. Cox believes it may ultimately be necessary for human health to keep chickens and 'cows welldozed with cholesterol lowering drugs in order to reduce the cholesterol Content of eggs and milk. He assumed people are unbreakably devoted to eggs and He also was assuming excessive cholesterol in the human blood stream is largely respontai lias become one of the main pillars in agriculture, with the total investment increasing fourfold dur- j ing the past 20 years. Today, farm | families nationally have approximately $196 billion invested in their Operations, with the average investment per farm estimated to be $47,632, twice the amount re- • ported just 10 years ago.” Krueckeberg. also stressed the i importance of farmers and bankers working closely together to improve farm financial arrangements.

sible for artery-hardening and no safe and reliable drugs will be developed for people take to minimize their cholesterol. Cox and his associates at the University of of Medicine, Chicago, were trying to make something of current scientific cholesterol confusion. Some scientists blame excessive human blood cholesterol on high cholesterol eating. But other scientists think cholesterol in the human diet is relatively unimportant. They rely on the chemical cleverness of the human ■ liver. It manufactures cholesterol quite on its own. These scientists suggest that when dicta ry cholesterol is high, the liver's cholesterol production is low, and when dietary cholesterol is low liver production is high. Therefore, the amount of cholesterol in one's diet isn't governing, they reason. The blood cholesterol level will be approximately the same regardless of diet and if medical science is ever going to deal effectively with excessive blood cholesterol, it must find the real cause. It can’t be. they argued, because its capacity for manufacturing cholesterol is relatively slight at best. In human body chemistry, cholesterol is manufactured by all the tissues—it is an essential factor in metabolism. None of these many production • enters shut down because dietary cholesterol is high, they reasoned.
