that about 70 per cent of the
1895 people who telephoned him
want daylight saving time here.
All the calls were tape-re-

recordings will be turned over
to the House District Committee
for study in connection with the

Representative Broyhill, Re-

OF the 1896 calls received on
the switchboard of WMAL-TV,
The Star station, in response to
Mr.. Rash'S suggestion on his
night news program that people
call in, the final tabulation
showed: For daylight saving,

Last night an unidentified
woman told of the benefit she
could derive from daylight saw
ing. She said she is i'll and can
go outside only in the company
of her husband when he comes
home from work in the after

time, she said. it would still be
light enough when her husband
came home for her to enjoy
some sunshine.

that a new segment of Route

trE
Annexation Plan

Rockville'S City Council met
last night with owners of prop
erty on Route 240 south of Rock
vile and agreed on the bound
aries of 300-acres the landown-
ers want annexed to the town.
The decision reached last night
would add the following area
to the town: From the pres
ent town limits to Congressional
Airport. a strip extending from
! the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road tracks to 300 feet west of
Route 24O; all of Congressional
Airport; all of the Halpine SUBJ
division; and a strip running
east from the railroad tracks
fo~ 1900 fet. roughly 500 feet
wide as measured from the city
limits in the Twinbrook section.
May Share Sewer Cost.
r. L. McKeever and Arthur c.
Hyde speaking for the major
property owners, agreed that if
the cost of furnishing sewers in
the area is not covered by Rock
ville's front foot benefit assess
ment rate of 20 cents per foot,
property owners and developers
would pay the difference.
Because the back two-thirds of
Congressional Airport is on a
different water shed from the
land nearer Route 240, the city
council last week cut back the
proposed boundaries to extend
only 900 feet west of Rockville
pike in the airport section.
Higher Cost Possible.
If the airport ever is subdi-
vided, trunk line sewers needed
in the rear portion would push
the installation cost above the 20
cent figure.
Last nights action will be for
warded in resolution form to
State Senator Anders r. Lof-
strand, Republican, of Mont
gomery County, sponsor of the
annexation bill. The bill still in
committee is designated an emer-
gency measure and would take

Vitamin A I'm Winter Feeds
Can Prevent Spring Losses
By J. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

shell. In other words, the chickens
are sick and dying from something
they didn't eat-vitamin A. They
stop laying, the eyes swell up and
become plugged with a white, cheesy
material, the mouth and esophagus
are filled with little pustules, and a
few keep dying off. Laying hens
should get 375, 1000 international units
of vitamin A per 100 pounds of feed.
Breeding hens should receive 450,-
600 international units per 100
pounds of feed.
A little attention to this vitamin A
situation right now, certainly can
prevent lot of headaches and, some
times, great financial losses this COM
ing spring. Here is hoping that the
Yuletide season will provide ade-
quate vitamin A to your livestock
and unlimited happiness to you.

Danger Seen
In Tax Ruling

A TAX RULING that could upset
completely the books and income tax
returns of thousands of ranchers" is
reported by the American National
Cattlemen's Association.
Stephen H. Hart, attorney for the
National Livestock Tax Committee,
calls attention to the ruling as fol-
lows:
ga development of note in the live
stock tax field during the past month
is an adverse decision by the Tax
Court of the United States in the
Diamond A Cattle Company case, 81
T. c. No. 1.
'That decision points up a danger
GUS possibility tax-wise for many
ranchers. A great many, perhaps
most, livestock producers who carry
their livestock in inventory keep
their books and file their returns on
the cash basis in all other respects.
They deduct interest and taxes, for
instance, when paid rather than as
accrued, and they keep no inventory
of feed or Supplies. This is a prac-
teal basis of accounting and GER
tainly reflects income just as clearly
as the pure cash basis. AS matter
of fact, many other small businesses
which use inventories are on the
cash basis in all other respects.
'In the Diamond A Cattle Co. case,
however, the tax court seems to hold
that such a hybrid method of ac-
counting is improper. The implica-
ton of the decision is that ranchers
who inventory their livestock must
use the accrual method in all re-
spects. If the commissioner should
follow through and enforce such a
principle, it would completely upset
the books and income tax returns for
tens of thousands of ranchers and
farmers, not to mention other small
businesses. Therefore, we can hope
either that the commissioner will not
follow the precedent or that the mat
ter will be clarified by legislation. 7"
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-12-15

RIGHT NOW IS the time to pre-
vent the birth OF weak, blind or dead
calves next spring. If you wait until
calving season is about to start it will
be too late.
Give that hay you are feeding this
winter pretty critical examination.
If it is bleached-out, old or you can't
supply enough of it, chances will be
pretty good that not enough vitamin
A will be available to meet the needs
of pregnant cow.
You just will not know that the
cows are on vitamin A deficient
diet by any symptom displayed by
the cow. The damage will appear in
the newborn calf. Those calves that
are not born dead but are weak will
be much more susceptible to infec-
tious diseases such as the scours.
Qualify Hay
Cows that receive at least 2,727
micrograms of carotene per 100
pounds of body weight per day will
produce normal, healthy calves.
Looking at it another way, one pound
of No. 1, three pounds of No. 2, or
six pounds of No. alfalfa hay per
day per COW should furnish the preg-
nant cow with adequate amounts of
vitamin A. Full feelings of No. 1
grass hay will meet the vitamin A re-
quirements.
New dehydrated alfalfa meal fed
at the rate of one-third pounds per
day per cow will prevent calf losses
due to vitanin A deficiency. If the
dehydrated alfalfa meal is over a
year old, feed two pounds instead
of one-third pound. Range pellets
fortified with stabilized vitamin A,
is another handy method of keeping
the vitan1in A intake at a safe level.
The fellow who trusts to luck,
feeds the pregnant cows fresh air and
rabbit tracks, is surely headed for
trouble at calving time. Most likely
he will be the one that yowls the
loudest because nothing can be done
to save the calves. If you happen to
see this fellow, tell him that if the
cows get adequate vitamin A from
now until calving time he will not
lose the calves from a vitamin A de-
ficiency.
Blood Tests
If there is reason to suspect that
the cows are on marginal levels of
vitamin A, get your veterinarian to
obtain few blood samples from rep
resentative cows in the herd for vita
min A determinations. If the blood
is getting low, you had better start
supplementing. The hay can be
analysed for carotene and vitamin
A. If it is low, play safe and supple
ment with adequate amounts of vita
min A.
About the same thing can happen
to pigs deficient of vitamin A as
happens to newborn calves. Good
green, leafy alfalfa hay available to
the pigs at all times will prevent
blindness, weakness, posterior pa
ralysis, diarrhea and birth of dead
and weak pigs. If the hay isn't avail
able, see that the sows get 10 to Is
per cent fresh alfalfa meal added to
the ration. Of course there are other
means of supplying vitamin A, the
main thing-see that they get it.
Poultry. Too
In three or four months from now
we will see chickens affected with a
condition that can be prevented by
starting adequate vitamin A sup

World Sugar Conference
Still Seeks 10 SET Quotas

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Inter-
national sugar conference still
is attempting to fix export
quotas. No final decisions have
been taken.
The United Nations-sponsored
conference is meeting in secret
session on the quota problem, the
thorniest issue confronting the
delegates.
Cuban delegates are pressing
for an increase in the export
quota of 100000 tons suggested
earlier by the conferences quota
committee. A conference execu-
tive said reports that the con-
ference already has decided on
such an increase are speculative
and that the question still is
under consideration.
The conference, which has
been in session since July 10, has
three main aims: to boost the
world sugar market, to impose
export quotas sharing out this
market among sugar producers
and to fix a sugar price adequate
to maintain fair labor standards
in the sugar industry. Delegates
and observers from 80 countries
are attending.
