...years Carnation Milk advertised that its product came from contented cows. Last week Chas, Pfizer & Co. disclosed that it has found a way to make all farm animals contented by adding tranquilizers to their feed.

Pfizer is not yet ready to say that tranquilizers should be generally used by cattle raisers. But tests so far show improved quality with no bad effects...
...Comrades," cried Khrushchev, "successes achieved in agriculture and good prospects for its development permit us to set and solve a task of great nationwide importance: within the next few years to catch up with the U.S. in per capita production of meat, milk and butter...
Last year, said Khrushchev, the Soviet Union produced 71 Ibs. of meat per capita as against 226 Ibs. in the U.S., 259 quarts of milk as against 362½ in the U.S., and 6 Ibs. of butter as against 8½ Ibs. in the U.S. "This year we will get as much butter and perhaps even more than the U.S. produced last year.

Biological concentration is even more disturbing. Grazing animals skim the fallout from large areas of grass, and it concentrates in their flesh and milk. Sea animals do the equivalent. Biologists fear that many such concentrating mechanisms may exist unsuspected. This is one reason why the U.S. Public Health Service is starting to inspect U.S. milk for undue radioactivity. West Germany is doing the same, and the Japanese are old hands at detecting radioactive fish...
