Prf pared by .American Foundation for, i Animal Health Many farmA ponds end slow moving' streams,' th"-8unwer.i. may toe.'harboTjng a $100 milliorti( threat to -cattle and swine ... and a potent hazard to human health, too. . . , .. . (V. The threat is the disease known as leptospirosis "lepto" for short. It is now costing cattle raisers an estimated $112,000,000 a year in losses. Swine producers are experiencing heavy losses also. Why are ponds and slow mov ing streams such key factors in spreading this disease?. The an swer is that "spreader" animals which have leptospirosis organ Isms In their systems "shed" Cattle often pick up leptospiro sis in ponds or slow-moving streams. these organisms through their urine. The organisms live on in the streams and ponds, and can thereby infect both livestock and human beings. This is why authorities urge farmers to bar off such water sources to prevent their contami nation by carrier animals. Farm ers should also note that lepto spirosis can be spread by body contact, too. One of the big problems about leptospirosis is that it may look like several other diseases. So, livestock owners should become aware of some of its symptoms so that at the first warning signs a veterinarian can check and ad vise. In cattle, "lepto" occurs in both the "mild" and the "severe" form. The mild form causes cows to lose their calves and to show loss of appetite, difficult breath ing, reduced milk flow, or milk may be thickened. Sometimes urine is tinged dark brown. The severe form also causes loss of calves, scouring and jaundice . . . and in calves it causes stunting and chronic ill health. Fortunately, leptospirosis can be prevented both in susceptible cattle and hogs b vaccination. The proper time for vaccination should be left up to the veteri- narian, 'after;1, he, has .examined the animals. Vaccination -is a wise precaution in any area where this disease has been a problem. Other preventive steps include protecting feed and watering fa cilities, keeping - livestock out of damp, low pastures, and having replacement stock blood-tested.

Form 2240 has been mailed to all farm operators of record who claimed the federal refund last year. Those who have not filed formerly must, however, obtain the forms for themselves. The 4 cents per gallon tax is collected for the purpose of highway con struction and maintenance on all gasoline sold. This tax is there fore not due on gasoline used off of roads and highways for agri cultural purposes, but cannot be refunded unless the farm oper7 ator files a claim between July 1 and October 2. Some farmers have not claimed the refund in the past, not realizing that the form is ex tremely convenient and requires only a few minutes time. The re fund amounts to a saving of about lo per cent of the fuel cost for farmers using gasoline .as ,a major source of power. The farm management spe cialist also emphasized that Ne braska State Gas Tax Refunds are paid only on gasoline pur chased in the last seven months before a claim is filed. Those who have not filed their first 1961 claim should do so prior to July 30 to avoid losing the refund on gasoline purchased in Jan uary. For the state refund, farm ers having permits are allowed to file up to four claims per year. Farmers using gasoline as a major fuel who do not claim either refund are in practice paying 60 to 70 per cent more in fuel cost than their neighbors who go to a small amount of in convenience to claim the refunds due them, Nelson points out.
