cattle brought over into the eastern
area have died from the disease, but
these were affected before they left
the Pacific watershed and they failed
to spread the disease into the herds
In the east into which they came.
Although a serious disease, redwater
has recently become of quite critical
concern to cattlemen in the affected
areas. This is particularly true in Lake
County where better than 10 per cent
of livestock premises have now suffered
the disease.
Spreading Rapidly
The cause for concern in this area
arises from the fact that the percentage
OF affected premises has doubled itself
since 1855. At the present rate of
increased spread of the disease in Lake
County, it is possible to predict that.
unless measures are taken to control
redwater, the disease will affect nearly
all cattle outfits in that county within
few years.
This is no simple disease. Cattle do
not become affected with it in a simple
way, and it is certainly not a simple
enemy to fight.
Illness and death are the result of a
poison produced by a germ called
CloStridium hemolyticum that is active
IN the liver of the affected cattle. This
poison circulateS in the animals body
producing fever, destroying the red
cells OF the blood, irritating tissues and
eventually causing the animals death
A blood-stained diarrhea is usually
seen in the obviously fevered animal
the red pigment from DESTROYED blood
cells appears in the urine, the animal
becomes anemic and even iaundiced
then becomes rapidly duller and will
always die unless treated.
Liver FIuke
This germ that produces the powerful
poison can be picked up from the
SOIL and is very widespread in nature.
When 1t arrives in the healthy liver
OF COW it is in the form of a spore
and, In this form it can do no harm.
only when the liver is damaged bv
some other agent can the germ become

active and do its dirty work. In our
western slope area, the agent that does
this liver damage is most commonly
the liver fluke.
1t would be pretty close to the truth
to say that if we could control the
liver fluke, we could control redwater.
Redwater is no problem on the eastern
slopes of the divide because there are
no liver flukes there.
Controlling the liver fluke in wet
mountain areas is easier said than done
Though there are drugs against the
tluke, these usually only work after
the fluke has done some liver damage
too late for controlling redwater. OF
course, flukes could be controlled nv
Wlplng out the snails that act as inter-
mediate hosts for the flukes, and much
thought and research is directed at this
possibility. The theory behind this an
proach can be expressed as a simple
riddle. Kill SnailS-no flukes-no liver
udiidSe-no redWater
Big Problems Involved
Though this sounds simple. there are
some big problems involved and q
solution will need time. What we can
DO now is vaccinate the cattle against
the germ. Present day vaccines are NOT
ideal and only protect cattle for six
months at the most. Everything possible
is being done to produce better vac
cines.
vaccination in the fall will protect
the cattle against the seasonal peak
OF the disease in early and mid-winter.
Even when the benefit of the vaccine
begins to wear off, cattle then affected
with the disease will be milder cases
and more readily treated. Earlv treat.
ment is often very effective even in
severe cases.
vaccination programs are being en-
couraged in areas worst affected and
these deserve the cooperation of everv-
body involved.

IT'S EASY to get a good argument
going on the subject whether there
are such things as new diseases.
Perhaps you have no doubts about it
some folks believe the vets invent new
ones every day. But there is the view
that all diseases are old, though they
may appear now and then in a new
form.
Whatever your views on this, Wen
all agree that there are diseases that
are "old'' because we've known them
Tor a long time. And there are
diseases we can call young since
they are newcomers to our KNOWLEDGE
Let's look over some of the dis.
eases we have in cattle in this area
TO see how we are getting along with
the old problems and what we will
have to do about some of the vonno
upstairs.
Two disease problems that we have
nad with us a number of years now
are brucellosis and shipping foyer
These, along with many other diseases
represent the hard core of animal all.
mentS, involving the cattlemen in loss
ana expense each year, resisting every
effort to finish them off, and giving wav
only reluctantly to control measures
BruceIIOsis
The nationwide drive to control and
eradicate Bangs disease is an am.
oltlous scheme. Very considerable SIMS
Oh money are being devoted TO the
project. There is public health sionif;.
canoe to this work, since the disease is
tranSmissable to man, and in addition
IS responsible for considerable loss
IN livestock revenue from abortions
ana breeding problems, particularly
amongst dairy cattle.
Montana can be proud of itS n1aoo
at the front of the nations efforts 70
eliminate this disease. Since 1851 tbo
state has been striving to include all
us cattle within the status of modi-
heo certified brucelloSis free area
ouch an area is one in which nv
olood-testing and the elimination Of
feactorS, the disease has been reduced
10 an incidence in less than per cent
OF cattle and less than 5 per cent Of
nerds The time is now within siobt
when all the counties of the state NAV
meet these requirements and become
part OF the modified certified area
Increased Susceptibility
one side-effect of creating large
areas OF this kind in which the Incl
dence of an infectious disease is very
low IS to gradually increase the sus-
ceptlbility of the cattle Formulation
raised in that area to that disease
Since newborn animals do NOT como
INTO contact with the disease tbov
develop no immunity to it, Evidently
should an accidental outbreak of hru.
celloSls occur in such population II
could be OF very serious nature.
A modified certified area is not an
area in which brucellosis has been
eradicated. The disease still exists and

can flare up again if the remaining
population is particularly susceptible.
Calf Vaccination
The only satisfactory way to over
come this situation is to pursue an
active and extensive policy of calf vac
clnatlon along with the measures now
being employed to eliminate reactors.
Since we have not by any means eradi-
Gated the disease in modified certified
area, calves in that area and elsewhere
should be protected by vaccination.
Because of the shortcomings of anv
vaccine, diseases cannot be effectively
eradicated by vaccination alone. SINH
lar shortcomings exist in blood-testing
methods, and these methods alone are
rarely successful in bringing about
eradication of disease. But these
practices together stand good chance
OF doing the job. Calf vaccination
against brucellosis in Montana has so
far kept pace with the blood-testing
program. We must ensure that it con-
tinues to do so.
Shipping Fever
Shipping fever is disease most conn
monty seen in cattle arriving at the
teed-lots in fall after undergoing a
sometimes prolonged period of trans
portatlon. A high fever is accompanied
by depression and the animal usually
goes off feed. Rapid breathing and a
running nose are very often seen.
Eventually the lungs become consoli-
dated, the animal is then very ill and
will surely die unless treated. Careful
management practices applied to ami
mails newly arrived at the feed-lot can
do much to reduce the number of cases.
Early treatment will save most affected
animals.
Vaccination of feeder cattle with a
bacterin about 10 days prior to ship
ment does much to prevent this dis
ease. Alternatively, antiserum NAV he
given Immediately before shipment to
protect the cattle until they reach the
feed-lot.
Still Many Mysteries
There are still many mysteries that
remain unsolved about shipping fever.
Much research is being done in at
temptS to produce better vaccines for
this disease. Although early cases can
De treated with much success, the pre-
ventlon Of the disease by immunizine
feeder cattle is the desirable wav to
overcome it.
turning now to two of our "young'
upStart diseases of cattle in this local
ity, redwater and leptospirosis spring
readily to mind. More and more thought
IS being given to what measures we
will have to adopt to control these
dangers. Each has been known for
many years in other states and each
has proved how troublesome it can be.
Redwater
Although redwater has been known
as a disease of cattle in this area for
several years, it has been of real CON-
Germ only in a few counties. 1t is a
disease of cattle on the western slopes
OF the continental divide. Occasionally

One mother even took one of
these girls on nice summer va
cation last year. She said:
Il wouldn't take the average sit
ter because they're SO noisy, and
their idea of entertaining the
children is to play jive records or
watch soap operas on TV. But our
little sitter is so ladylike it's a
pleasure TO have her around"
I asked one of these girls what
the secret of her success was so
that we could all profit by it and
she surprised me with this answer:
II like to pretend I'm the child
ren's mother when I'm with them.
/ find that this makes me enjoy
the children more. / like children
and l think if you don't you
shouldn't be a baby sitter. Some
sitters tell me they spank naughty
types they take care of. / think
that is terrible. If the child is
naughty in the sitter's presence it
is usually the sitter's fault. Even
the worst brought up child should
be intrigued by the face of the sub
stitute, and usually they are very
easily handled if you treat them
gently, and let them know you like
to be with them"

Conservation Plan
Worked Since '48

Isaiah Call of near London,
planned his farms permanent wat
er control improvements as a part
of a longtime plan, He was a
member of the first group planned
in Madison Soil Conservation Dis
trict in 1913.
Since then he has installed tile,
grass waterways or open ditch
drainage every year. The first
years he installed small lateral
systems, but in 1851 he installed a
complete system on a 25-acre field.
This wet field took over 1000 rods
of tile. This doubled the corn pro-
duction on this field. He then es-
tablished a sod waterway. He rent
ed a bulldozer and did the con-
struction work himself. BY doing a
good job of seeding, fertilizing and
mulching he obtained an excellent
sod Of meadow fescue, which has
carried the water from a large
watershed without erosion
In the last three years he has
put in small complete tile systems
on other parts of the farm
His 1856 project is completing
the open ditch outlet in coopera-
ton with two Of his neighbors.
He has worked closely with the
Work Unit Conservationist, Paul
Bangham, on all of these water
control methods as well as doing
an outstanding job in his cropping
and fertility program.

Bricker Letter
Is Made Public

Senator John w. Bricker (R.,
Ohio, today sent the following
letter to the Honorable Carter L.
Burgess, Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Manpower and Per-
sonnet: Dear Mr.. Burgess:
I'm view of the Executive Order
issued yesterday by President Els
enhower changing draft priorities,
/ again request that you promptly
release fathers and men past 26,
who desire release, from the Arm
ed Services.
Il direct your attention to the
announcement by the White House
that the Presidents Order indef-
initely deferring fathers and older
men will be less disruptive to the
community as well as more adj
vantageous to the Armed Forces.
/ agree If that be the fact, the
retention of fathers and men past
26, not now needed, will continue
to be disruptive of their com1nu-
mites and disadvantages to the
Armed Forces.
The corrective nature of the
order. therefore, is self-evident. 1t
recitifies the error of having too
long drafted fathers and men past
26 ahead of the mounting number
of available single, young men,
during peacetime. Decency and
justice now demand that the vic
Tins of that error be relieved with
out further delay. 1t would be cal
lous for your department to ignore
this situation.
Il remind you that your own
quotas call for only 5000 men per
month, except for a single addi-
tional call for 10000 for the Navy
in March. The Presidents Order
estimates there are 1,347 900 single
men under 26 available for those
calls and that number is expected
to increase by 100000 to 1,547.000
by years end In the meantime,
only 10000 are to be taken, Co.
600 by the Army and 10000 by the
Navy.
'"I am assured by Selective Ser
vice headquarters that the Presi-
dents Order will exempt all faith
ers and men past 26, short of war
IF the new regulations work out
in that manner, they meet with my
approval as regards fathers and
older men now in uniform.
$50 you can see from the present
facts, as well as /. that those still
in uniform should be released. I
am making this letter available to
the press"

AP Newsfeatures Writer

What's your baby sitter 10. :?
Ii you aren't making a good in
come out of this occupation, take
the advice of other sitters - you
can clean up if you have the right
attitude toward the job.
Nine out of ten high school girls
seem to earn spare money taking
care of youngsters these days, but
some of them are more in demand
than others.
Why" / asked one popular girl
recently. She thought the reason
was this:
IF you remain calm with the
children, do not impose too many
restrictions on them but watch
them carefully and feed them the
way they have been accustomed to,
they will like you"
She explains that some baby sit
ters keep saying don't, don't,
don't" to the children rather than
taking the trouble to distract the
youngSter from the danger he
courts or from his uncomfortable
urge to be naughty because mama
is away. She says:
1T is so much easier to take
their minds off what they plan to
do than to keep telling them not to
do it. But you must take the trou-
BILE"
Some parents complain that their
baby sitters just sit and smoke all
the time they are in the house,
issuing orders to the children like
top sergeants. Others say the sit
ter really doesn't want to work,
she wants to read or watch televi-
sion in peace and keep the child
rem quiet SO she can enjoy herself.
Another baby sitter thought that
you should try to earn the child's
respect by dressing nicely and by
being firm but kind. She says:
Il used to wear blue jeans and
the kids never would do anything
/ asked them to. When | started
dressing up I seemed to get along
with them much better"
Two of the favorite baby sitters
in our Nneighborhood have an add
ed qualification that seems to have
a calming influence on little hell
ions: soft voices. Neither girl rails
es her voice when speaking to a
youngster, and each manages to
control them beautifully. One
mother was dumbfounded when
she arrived home from a shopping
trip and found her 2-year-old lit
tie boy asleep on the sofa. Its
the first time he's ever done that" i,
she said. Normally he won't sleep
anyplace other than his crib"
She attributed his sudden drop
ping off to the sandman voice of
the sitter. Just as important as
a doctors good bedside manner
she says.
These girls earn the reward of
having very little to worry them
with children because the children
love to mind. Whats more, they
reap extra pay because they are
in demand, and because the moth
ers are so grateful for their good
services.
