LUNG DISEASES
DANGEROUS TO SWINE

The most vulnerable spot of pres
ent day swine is their lungs.
Specialized breeding and the phe.
nomenally rapid growth Of modern
swine exert a terrific strain on
lung capacity-and the lungs Of our
porkers are not nearly as large
as those of wild pigs of the same
weight.
All too often the bedding ground
Of swine becomes covered with a
deep layer of powder-fine dust. AS
pigs sleep with their nostrils close
to the ground, they very often in
hale large amounts of this barn
yard dust, laden with germs capable
of causing pneumonia.
Both swine influenza and germ
borne pneumonia act very much
alike. In flu, however, a large mum.

TWO SWINE PLAQUES
THAT ACT ALIKE

Though due to entirely different
causes, two of the most disastrous
swine diseases, hog cholera and
swine erysipelas, are so very SINH
lar that even trained veterinarians
often find 1t necessary to resort to
laboratory diagnosis to determine
which disease is affecting herd.
Both of these plaques of swine
may strike suddenly. Both cause
a high fever, general weakness and
depression. The filtrable virus OF
hog cholera and the tiny rod-shaped
erysipelas germ both raid the tbs.

strike the herd later.
One should remember that the
swine erysipelas germ also infects
human beings through abrasions on
the skin. Every one should use
rubber gloves or cheap cotton
gloves that can be burned or de-
stroyed while handling carcasses Of
swine dead from erysipelas.
Luckily, a very potent and cura-
tive serum is available for combat
ting swine erysipelas outbreaks, and
IL 1t is used after early Identification
of the disease by trained veter-
marian, heavy losses may be

GUARD AGAINST
HOG CHOLERA

Although more than thirty years
have elapsed since scientists dis.
covered that hog cholera was due
to a virus, this dreaded contagion
Of swine still ranks as the hog in
dustry's most important menace.
For example over $4,000 swine car
casses were condemned last year at
federally inspected packing plants
because they were infected with
cholera virus.

throughout the country in 1885,
900 more than the year before-do

Representative David J. Ward,
whose advertisement appears on an

Democrat, seems to be very con-
fident of his securing enough votes
to land him as the nominee for the
Lower House of Congress, to succeed
himself.

ties by a substantial majority and
will be close second in the other
four, with two of these four counties

Congressman Ward, considered the
strongest Democratic candidate and
unanimous choice of the Democratic
State Central Committees last year
for the nomination, is conducting his
campaign with the view to leading
a united Democratic party into the
general election.
"a united Democratic party is es-
sential," he pointed out, "for gen.
eral Democratic victory at the fall

The Baltimore Sun, of Wednesday,
has the following to say of the gen.
eral political situation in the First
Congressional District, where there
are six candidates:
Voters in the nine Eastern Shore
counties are confronted with scrap
for the First districts nomination the
likes of which they have not seen in
a generation.
AS in the two city contsts, victory
appears to lie between two-or at
most three-of the field of six candi-
dates.
In the fore are the incumbent, Rep
resentative David J. Ward of Wi
comico county, and State Senator
Dudley G. Roe, of Queen Anne's, the
majority floorleader of the Senate.
A runer-up, and in some quarters
regarded a possible victor, is State
Senator Thomas F. Johnson, of Wor-
cester county.
AS of today, Senator Roe, with the
support of most Eastern Shore fig
ures in the State administration and
heavily intrenched on the upper por-
ton of the Shore, is regarded as
holding slight edge on Mr.. Ward,
despite the fact that the lower coun-
ties are more heavily populated and
the Democratic vote is larger.
The Congressional nominations, of
course, are not settled on unit basis,
but on the popular vote in the dis
trict.
However, Senator Johnson is con-
ceded his home county of Worcester,
Representative Ward has an opponent
in his own county in Louis C. Merry
man, attorney and United States Com
missioner in Salisbury since 1882 and
the vote in Somerset between Ward
and Roe will be close.
Senator Johnson has spent approx
mately a week in each Of the nine
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1940-04-19

counties and his vote is something
that must be reckoned with as al
sides concede.
Roe supporters say Senator John
son will be second in the race, with
the incumbent third. And, among
Mr.. Wards hackers, Senator Johnson
gets second place also in their prog
nostications, and Senator Roe is plac-
ed third.
Cutting figure in the fight, in
that he will poll heavy vote in Tai
bot county, is H. Herbert Balch, Eas-
ton attorney. The sixth entry is E.
Moores Lee, of Chesapeake City, an
employee of the C. & D. Canal.
The Salisbury Times, of Tuesday
last, had the following to say con-
corning phase of the political sit
uation in Worcester county:
Worcester county's tangled Demo-
cratic politics were in new snarl to-
day with opposition to the candidacy
of United States Senator George Rad
cliffe expressed by the Johnson-For-
Congress campaign committee.
Estate Senator Thomas F. John
son, candidate for Congress, had prev
iously endorsed Radcilffe's candidacy.
"The flareup was considered the
end of an attempt by the Johnson
forces to bring the County Radcliffe
support to his candidacy. Calvin P.
Pruitt, Radcliffe manager and treas
urer for the county, had declined to
align his forces with the Johnson
group, declaring that the Senate con-
test was statewide and that congress
sional candidates should not be en-
dorsed by Radcliffe forces in either
county.
"Pruitt had already stolen a march
on the Johnson hackers, when, in a
meeting called by the Democratic
State Central Committee of the coun-
ty last Friday night, slate of dele
gates to the State Convention favor
able to Radcliffe was chosen.
"They are: l.. Franklin Purnell,
Ocean City; Franklin Upshur, Ber-
lin, Ben T. Truitt, Snow Hill and Mer-
rill Walters, Pocomoke.
Senator johnson and his commit
tee had expected to have hand in
the selection of the delegates at a
meeting last night at Snow Hill.
Worcester political leaders sup
porting johnson had made representa-
tions to the Radcliffe Headquarters
to have the treasurership for the Rad
cliffe campaign placed in their hands.
This was refused.
Despite the groups apparent de-
falcation from the Radcliffe's ranks,
the U. S. Senate candidate has the
endorsement of the Young Mems
Democratic Club Of Central Worces-
ter County, the Democratic State
Central Committee, and the Worcester
County Democratic Women's Club.
AT the public mass-meeting last
night approximately rs Worcester
county Democrats formally constitu-
ted themselves as the county CAM

mittee was rejected.

Earlier in the evening more than
a score of officials and members of
the Woman's Democratic Club of
Worcester County gave that organi-
zation's unanimous endorsement to
Senator Johnson for Congress.
