DANGER OF | POISON IN THE PASTURES Plants Will Develop Prussic Acid Under Some ; Circumstances — {prepared by the United States I Department of Agriculture.) WNU Service Some plants on which live stock . are pastured may develop poison-1 oys properties as a result of j drought, frost, wilting, or severe! trampling. The department has; investigated reports of live stockl poisoning, and such plants as sudan grass, velvet grass, sorg-1 hum. and Johnson grass have been ■ found to develop prussic acid when their growth is retarded by I abnormal conditions such as I those mentioned. Under normal i conditions prussic acid is not ’ found in any of these plants. , Once animals have eaten plants containing prussic acid, there is I Ifttle that the stockman can do, ■ th- department says. The poison' acts quickly and very often the I affected animal will die within I half an hour. While there are a few remedies that are suggested i for exceptional cases, they are 1 usually of little avail after the; ammal has taken enough of the Injurious substance to cause symptoms to develop. Preventive measures are advo- 1 gated by the department as the best means of dealing with this' condition. One precaution that may be taken is to feed stock a grain ration such as corn fetereta, ' rhilo. or alfalfa hay before turn-; ing them into the suspected pas-I tp.re. It is also possible to avoid the i danger by mowing pastures known > to be unsafe amt allowing the cut ; grass to dry thoroughly before pas-' tilling. Although green sorghum, velvet grass and others that have ' had their growth stunted are dangerous. the acid usually disappears when the crop is made into hay. Sorghum in the southern states rarely develop prussic acid poisoning, but those in the North are subject to it although the exact reason for this is not known. The sorghums have this poisonous tendency to a marked degree.' Sudan grass also is frequently the cause of poisoning. Flax is also dangerous if it is frozen before ripening fully. In the Northwest, in the flax-growing regions, live stock men have been warned against the danger of animals eat ing flaxseed or straw from plants that do not reach maturity. '' A list of the more important plants of the United States which develop prussic acid when their growth is retarded includes: ehockcherry, black cherry, sorghum, Johnson grass, arrowgrass, sudan grass, and velvet grass.
