Initiation Control

A Repubhcan-controlled congress
seems disinclined to accept Presi-
dent Truman's initiation control
plan and the subsequent return to
price fixing and rationing. Congress
could, if it would, strike at the
foundation of initiation by enacting
legislation that would reduce and
regulate bank credits and also stop
the mounting increases in the
amount Of our phony printing press
money. Increasing credits and in
cressing cheap money produce in
flation.
Congress can enact legislation
which will restore the former re-
quirements Of IS and 40 per cent
reserves in federal reserve banks
instead of the present Is per cent.
That would help to restrict credits.
Congress can repeal the Greenback
law and can call halt on the issu-
ing Of more printing press cur
rency.
The danger of runaway initiation
will be with US until money and
credit expansion is curbed and only
congress can apply the remedy. To
be sure the President might veto
such legislation but congress def
nitely can fix the responsibility.

WHAT COMPETITION Does

One of the standard left-wing criticisms
of the capitalist system is that it promotes
monopoly, and permits the small operator to
be ruthlessly squeezed out by the big.
The only way that can gain credence is
on Hitler's theory that a lie, often enough
repeated, will seem to be the truth. For the
whole tendency of American capitalism has
been away from monopoly, toward more in
tense competition-and toward giving the
small, ably managed enterprise better
chance to grow and prosper.
An interesting example of that, which is
close to all consumers, is the retail store.
The nearest thing we had to a retail mono
poly was the Old-time country general store.
Whether it was good, bad or Indifferent, the
customers could take it or lump it-cOmpe-
tition was frequently nOn-existent.
Now the consumer is offered an amazing
choice when he shops-and the retailers
margins of profit on each transaction are al
an extreme low That is what competition
does-and it is the underlying principle OF
the capitalist economic system.

spending is being felt in every corner of the
land. The inflationary result of $250,000,-
900 public debt is coming home to roost
Measured by the normal years of 1939-41
we are living in the midst of abundance, yet
people complain about shortages. In 1939-41
for example, the per capita consumption of
meat was about 1873 pounds. Per capita con-
sumption this year will be about 144 pounds.
Paradoxically, in 1899 there was no thought
of shortage, while early in 1913 some of the
experts" predicted meat famine by the
first of May
Of course there has been no famine The
difference between 1889 and 1911 is primar-
lily in the supply of money in peoples pockets
and bank accounts, resulting from the dra-
matte rise in the public debt. This money
has created an Unsuitable demand. There is
nothing wrong with the meat industry or
any other industry. They are striving to in
crease production to meet the demand and
they are doing amazingly well. Moreover,
competition in the free market is holding
prices to the practical minimum, which is
all that is possible. In these critical days
extremists who look for an easy way where
there is no easy way, are menace. They
are the ones who advocate peacetime price
control and ratiOning, greater public spend
ing and more and more government dicta-
tion-the same medicine that has brought
socialism and collapse to the nations of Eu-
rope.
Now as never before faith in our free
market capitaliStic system is needed. 1t is
the only system that has proven it's ability
to produce the goods on a basis of supply
and demand.

Green Hay for Cows

We have definitely established this
vitamin A shortage in some herds,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-15
Losses in Young Calves
Prompt Action Could Prevent Them
BY DIR. HOWARD WEIGH

to the breeding cows. We have sus-
pected a vitamin A shortage several
times this spring, when such losses
were reported but not investigated.
1t is undoubtedly a good practice
to carry a reserve of last years hay
over, as an insurance against a feed
shortage, but this hay should be fed
to bulls, dry cows and steers, the
bright hay being reserved for the
breeding cows. While it is true that
normal calves are commonly pro-
duced by cows fed the worst hay
imaginable, it is also true that heavy
losses of calves have frequently re-
suited.
5. White = muscle" disease. This
n we know about, but cannot fully
explain. In certain definite sections
of the state we find, year after year,
that a calf at two to three weeks old
may develop a stiff, dragging gait,
much as if he were wading in deep
mud. 1t will have difficulty in get
ting up, but be bright eyed, alert,
and obviously not sick. These calves
become helpless, cannot nurse their
mothers and die of malnutrition. The
examination of these calves may
show large areas of muscles of the
hips, loin and shoulders, with chalky
white deposits, streaks and patches.
These white areas will be found to
be alike or the right, and left side.
If a certain muscle on the right thigh
is white, the same muscle on the
left thigh will be white also. Lambs,
in these same areas, may also be af-
fected in the same manner.
Some calves may appear to be
normal, no stiffness, but develop a
rapid breathing and die within a
few hours. These cases will be found
to have a white" heart, with large
patches of degenerated heart muscle,
and the calves die of heart failure.
In most cases, it is the March and
April lambs or calves, that are af-
fected. Lambs and calves born in
May, on grass seem to be in the
clear, though we have seen a few
cases in calves as late as the LIST of
July.
vitamin E Deficiency
Work done at Cornell on white
muscle disease in lambs, indicates
that a deficiency in vitamin E is re-
sponsible. Certainly we were able in
1871 to cur a large number of these
stiff lambs by the use of wheat germ
oil, a wheat extract that is very high
in vitamin E. 1t is possible that this
condition is more widespread in
Montana than we know of, for in the
casual examination of a dead calf
to determine the cause of death, one
would concentrate mainly on the
lungs, liver and other organs, ano
not think to look closely at the body
muscles.
There are many angles to this dis
Ease of calves that are not well I'm

way, but a dry cow is just a hay
burner. If she produces a calf, and
the calf dies, she is still a liability.
There are altogether too many re-
ports of losses of 10 or 20 or 80 calves
in one outfit or another, for most of
these losses can either be prevented
or the sick calves successfully
treated. No one lives so far from a
competent veterinarian that he can
not afford either to call the veteri-
marian, or take a dead calf into town
for examination.
Most of these calf losses fall into
n of three groups.
l. Calf scours. This is a virulent
type of Indigestion set up, in most
cases, by barn-yard or corral filth.
1t does not often affect calves born
on grass or in snow banks or open
pasture. 1t hits the very young
calves, usually under a week old.
These calves develop a gray-colored
diarrheal discharge, become weak
and depressed and many die in two
or three days. Though there are ex-
ceptions, most of these calves are
born in damp, muddy pens or sheds
or corrals. The cows udders are
smeared with mud, and the scours
infection is introduced into the calf
by this route.
Prevention and Cure
Prevention consists of moving the
cows and calves entirely away from
the ranch buildings and calving the
remaining COWS in the open, in a
willow patch along the creek, any
where, as long as they are on clean
ground. Even if the weather is
tough, there will be less loss of
calves than if they stay in the in
fected corrals.
For the sick calves, prompt treat
ment with sulfaguanidine will in
sure a high percentage of recoveries.
The so-called calf scours vaccine is
worthless; many home remedies are
only partly effective. No veteri-
marian, using every variety of med
ical treatment known prior to the
development of the sulfa drugs, has
v e. saved anything like the num-
Der of calves that he has during the
last 8 or 10 years.
Indigestion and diarrhea in older
calves, two weeks and older, are
generally due to too much milk or
some other cause and al quite often
be handled with mineral oil alone,
though we often use sulfaguanidine
in these also.
z. Vitamin a deficiency. 1t has be-
come more and more apparent in
the last 10 years that it does not pay
to feed damaged hay, stack burned
hay or 2-year-old hay to calving
cows. Such hay has completely lost
its vitamin A content, which can be
roughly measure by the amount OF
green color. The best hay loses Sc
percent of its vitamin A content ir
the stack before it is fed. Brown
weathered, widowed and burned
hay is completely out of vitamin A
Calves from COWS fed such hay are
likely TO be weak, short of breath
unable to nurse, may have a very
fast heart rate, the tongue and lip.
and muzzle may be blue or purplish
Most of these die in two or three
days.
