bear.
There was both comedy and
tragedy at the show.
Tiny Jan Swanson, 6, unin-
tentionally provided the comedy
when she couldn't make Cappi,
her pet collie, perform in the
obedience contest. Jan, who
weighs IS pounds. couldn't con-
vince Cappi, 80 pounds, she
meant business. When Cappi
refused to sit, Jan tried without
success to push him. She won
fourth prize anyway.
There was sadness at the fish
judging. Bobby Smith of 531O
Yorktown road, Bethesda. was
carrying his pet guppy to the
smallest fish contest when he
dropped the jar. After a long
search the guppy was finally To-
Gated but too late to save his life.
Bobby was given a consolation
prize.
The most unusual pet prize
was won by Clearcoat, a honey
bear, owned by Paul Gardner
10. OF 217 Raymond street, Chevy

b|oat Causing Deaths
Among Cattle Herds
In Montgomery

A large number of cattle have
died IN Montgomery County this
spring from bloat.
The exact toll is not certain
but the deaths have been wide
spread enough to make them the
leading topic of conversation
among cattlemen.
DR.. Richard G. Buckingham,
Rockville veterinarian, says he
knows of at least 19 deaths and
r. N. Whipp, assistant county
agent, believes the county is as
hard hit as Loudoun County,
Va. where some so were re-
ported killed by bloat.
At least seven head from the
herd owned by Herman Rabbit,
prominent beef cattle raiser, have
died, Mr.. Whipp said.
Disagree as to Cause.
Farmers are in disagreement
as to the cause of the bloat.
Most, however, feel, the long
rainy spell and the resultant lush
clovers are the chief cause.
The bloat is described as acute
indigestion in the largest of a
cows four stomachs. The gases
expand the walls of the stomach
bringing pressure on the dia-
phragm which causes the victim
to sufocate.
Recent heavy rains have made
the clover stems exceptionally
Juicy, DR.. Buckingham says. This
causes rapid fermentation in the
big stomach of the COW.
Veterinarians now have drugs
which can be administered to re-
lieve bloat, but the stricken ami
NAL must be treated in the early
stages. If not, then the veteri-
marian is forced to puncture di-
rectly into the stomach through
the flank to release the air.
LadinO Glover Blamed.
Ladino clover is the chief Of
fender. DR.. Buckingham believes.
A much larger plant than the
ordinary white Dutch clover,
Ladino is recommended for pas
lures in this area by the Uni
versity of MARYLAND Extension
Service, Mr.. Whipp said.
But farmers must keep it in
fairly even balance with orchard
grass for best results" he added.
The agent pointed out. how
ever, that the real cause of bloat
has not been pinned down. Some
farmers, he said. believe the
toughness of blue grass caused
by rapid growth has caused some
of the deaths.
Mold Also Suspected.
Another theory is that the
continual dampness has caused
q mold to form on the under
side of clover leaves. This mold,
Mr.. Whipp said, may be caus-
ing the trouble.
One farmer has told Mr..
Whipp he believes some of the
cattle have been stricken after
eating fertilizer put on the
fields
Farmers have been warned to
keep a close watch on their
herds. to prevent them from
getting an overbalance Of the
lush clovers. Another sugges-
ton has been that the heifers be
run each evening to help de-
crease the bloat.

Merchants Oppose
7 Per Cent Sales Tax
For Alexandra

Strong opposition to a pro-
posed 2-per-cent city sales tax in
Alexandria was announced yes
terday by business and civic lead
ers of the community.
The Retail Merchants Associa-
ton announced a straw vote will
be conducted among shoppers.
Questionnaires asking whether
shoppers will continue to use
Alexandria stores if a sales tax
is imposed are to be circulated.
Threat to Business.
Members of three Alexandria
civic organizations will meet at
7:30 pm. tomorrow to discuss
plans for concerted opposition to
the sales tax proposal suggested
by City Manager Ira F. Willard.
The meeting, jointly sponsored
by the Veterans Jamboree Asso-
citation, Inc, the Alexandria Tax
payers League and the Veterans
Jamboree Cooperative, Inc, win
be held at 1901 Duke street.
Abbey j. Mintz. president of
the merchants group, described
the sales tax plan as "a grave
threat to the entire business fu-
ture Of our CITY," He promised
his group would fight the pro-
posal 'in every possible legiti-
mate manner"
Forms to Be Passed Out.
He said opinion survey forms
asking customers, Would you
continue to shop in Alexandria
if a sales tax is imposed?" are
to be distributed in the coming

under advisement.

Garbage Men To
Get Vacations
continued from page i

Miami's garbage collectors and
incinerator workers.
City officials have been uneasy
since demands made by the men
recently were not granted. Gar
bage men are the toughest work
ers in the city to replace.
Evans said he hopes that ap-
proval of vacations for laborers
"will avert any further trouble
and strike talk" Workers at the
Coconut Grove incinerator staged
a one-day walkout last month to
enforce demands for higher pay,
vacations and sick leave.
1--WE think the granting of va
cations is fair and proper" Evans
said.
Under his plans, the workers
would get six days off each year
provided they maintain record
or not more than three unauthor-
lied absences in any one month.
Those with five years of service
would receive two-week vaca-
tons.
