QUESTION: Do you have any
information on raising peafowls?

the Wildlife Management Insti
tute, 709 Wire Building, Wash

lets on the subject which sell for
a small sum.
QUESTION: What causes
bloat?
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

?
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.
A totaf of 834 counties are in- '
eluded in thw corn acreage allot- j
ment-price support area.
[April Phone Bills
Reflect Tax Cuts
| The new federal excise tax bill
will provide savings to all King?
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.
