New Initiation
Seen in Steel
Pay Increase

CLEVELAND, July II (P.-
Another round Of imitation is ir
store because Of the recent pay
raises in the steel and auto in
dustries, Steel magazine said
yesterday.
The Woodworking industry in
particular will be the target oi
rising prices, the weekly journal
predicted
1t cited figures put forth by
the United States Steel Corp.
which declared that the addi-
tional cost of steel for a popular
priced automobile will be about
SIS, for a $500 refrigerator, 90
cents, and for building and
equipping a six-room house, $40
But the additional costs
won't stop there" the magazine
said, almost all other goods anc
services will go up, too"
Industry in general will have
to increase wages" Steel said
". so, the higher costs that
the auto industry will face will
be confronting refrigerator max
ers, the construction industry
and everybody else. 4
Business is good now and the
companies don't want to be
closed by a strike. They'll give
as long as they can pass along
the additional costs.''
Steel prices rose So per cent,
or an average Of $7.35 a net ton.
The new contracts pushed wages
up about rs per cent or an aver
age of Is cents an hour.
The magazines finished steel
price index rose last week to
$125.64 a net ton, and its price
composite on steelmaking scrap
went to $37.83, compared with
$36.50 in the preceding week.
A 12-hour interruption during
negotiations and the July 4 holi-
day forced last weeks steel
operations down to 89.5 per cent
of rated capacity from 95 per
cent in the previous week.

In other words here are seven known
factors that can cause COWS, to ''loSe
their calves . To be able TO tell which
one is responsible requires considerable
investigation and, often, the perform
ance of several scientific tests. It is
important that the cause of these calf
losses be accurately determined in
order to establish control and prevent
alive measures If you are experiencing
calf losses, consult your veterinarian
to assist you TO determine the cause
and set up sound control program

Calf Losses Occur
IN Bangs-Free Herd
By J. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

WHY ARE MY COWS losing
calves?" This question has been asked
good many times this spring. Usually
the question is asked with a skeptical
undert0ne because the cows were mega
tive TO the brucelIosis test or they were
calfhoOd vaccinated against brucelIosis.
There has been SO much written, said
and done concerning brucelIosis as a
cause OF calf losses that the impression
has been left that once bruceIIosis is
eradicated there win be no more calf
losses So when calf losses do occur In
brucellosis-free herd, you can hardly
blame the skepticism.
The plain facts are that bruceIlosis is
just one cause of calf losses. There are
several more known causes.
Leptospirosis, an infectious disease,
can be responsible for the loss of nearly
full-term calves. Losses in aborted
calves have ranged from 5 to so per
cent due to this disease. Leptospirosis
has definitely been diagnosed in a few
herds IN Montana in which quite heavy
calf losses were experienced. A posi-
tive diagnosis is made with the aid of
blood tests and archaeological exam
nations.
Bull Can Transmit Disease
Vibriosis causes losses of calves. 1t
is another infectious disease of cattle.
It has been proven that the bull can
transmit the disease. Contact of In
fected cows with clean cows is strong
ly suspected as a means of spread.
This disease has been found primarily
in dairy herds Rather recently it has
been determined as the cause of calf
losses In few Montana beef herds. 1t
appears that this disease win be of in
creasing concern to 1ivestockmen In
this area A diagnosis is made with the
aid of blood tests made on the cows and |
archaeological cultures taken from an |
aborted fetus.
If the cows are losing calves, don't
-ule out bruce1Iosis even though they
we're tested year or so ago. Just to
De sure, a blood test should be run,
ust in case the disease was introduced
since the last test.
Still another infectious disease can
.ause loss of calves through abortions.
t is disease called trichononiasiS.
his disease has been confined to dairy
erds. Recently, it has been diagnosed
4 beef herd in a neighboring state.
! diagnosis of the disease is usually
OF made until the causative organism
as been isolated from an infected bull
r cow.
NutritiOnaI Causes
The nutritional status of the herd
Mould not be overlooked, especially
hen the calves are born at fuII-term
Their weak or dead. Vitamin A de
cheney is a rather common cause for
e kind of loss. A vitanin A analysis
the blood of a few of the COWS IN
lived viii help decide if a vitamin A
efficiency is responsible.
Iodine deficiency can also cause still
