A N S W E R : Agricultural re search has uncovered few abso lute truths about the causes of | bloat. One theory holds that gas es produced in the animal's rum ten are toxic. The "tickle theory" holds that scratchy roughage In the diet induces belching (a lack! of such roughage would cause the animal not to belch off gas). A third theory holds that saponins ? in alfalfa, when mixed with wa ter, form a stable foam. A fourth theot) explains bloat on legume | pastures as beinj? due to a high density of legumes which sink to mPso/Hcmwfi WANT ADS ? the bottom of the rumen, thus raising the level of the water In the rumen above the outlet of the esophagus. Onfe thing is agreed: bloat does not result from an over production of gas in the rumen as generally supposed. Scientists now think it is caused by a fai lure of the cow's belching mec hanism. QUESTION: How can I recog nize blue mold in my tobacco plant bed? ANSWER: The disbase gets Its name from the characteristic bluish (sometimes greyish) cot tony mold that develops on the underside of diseased leaves. Genefally, blue mold is first ob served in spots of plants scatter ed over the plant bed. The plants j in affected spots may be first no- j tieed as having yellowed leaves with the margins cupped down ward. Later the leaves or bntiro plants may be killed in spots, or throughout the bed, giving it a "burned-over" appearance. Blue I mold does not cause circular lem- 1 on-yellow spots or brown spots ! surrounded by wide yellow bands as dobs wildfire.

Mountain subscribers in bills dat ed on or aittfer April 1, E. F. Far ris, manager of the Southern Bell Telephone company, said this week. The new law reduces federal ex cise tax rates on telephone ser vice to ten percent. The lower tax rate, however, will not apply to any balance due from a previous month's bill. The old rates, set by Congress during World War II, werte 25 per cent on long distance calls of less than 25 cents. The reduction means a 60 percent, decrease In the tax rate on mo'st long dis tance calls and a one-third per cent cut in the tax ratte on Jocal service and on long distance calls of less than 25 cents. For example, Mr. Farris point ed out, a residence subscriber paying $4 a month for local ser vice and $2 for long distance calls has been paying under thte old rates $1.10 extra in federal excise taxes. Under the new tax rates, he will save 50 cents a month or $6 a year. A small business concern, Mr. Farris continued, making $100 worth of long distance calls a month has been paying $25 feder al tax each month on long dis tance calls. Of this $300-a-year tax bill, that, firm will save $180. It also will save one-third of its tax bill on local service. I ?%s7s*/ Corsages: Orchids Gardenias Roses Carnations ?
