THE FATAL SORGHUM.

Neither ssInherent Poison" Nor 'tSec-
ond Growth" Solves the Problem.
The use of sorghum as forage plant
Is extensive. With its increased impor-
lance for this purpose in Nebraska the
number Of deaths caused by feeding it
increases. During the past year LA
fatal cases in cattle were reported.
Professor Hiltner Of the state station
undertook to determine If possible the
| nature and cause Of these cases of poi
soning.
Frequent reports are made Of bloat
caused by the use Of sorghum for for
age. 1t has been supposed in some
cases that the cause, of death from u.s.
| ing sorghum was to he found in the
presence of parasitic fungi on the leaves
Of the plants. In a number Of instances
1t has been believed by stockmen that
plants were maliciously poisoned with
| strychnine, paris green or arsenic.
Analyses made by the station OF plants
thus suspected indicated no trace OF
any such poison.
Another suggestion made to explain
| poisoning by sorghum is that the plant
takes up an unusual quantity Of potas-
! stun nitrate during certain seasons or
| in certain localities. A number Of sam
pies analysed indicated only trace Of
| nitrates. -.........
The most commonly believed theory
for the explanation of poisoning by sor-
ghum is that the plant under certain
conditions develops poisonous prin-
ciple. In reports from stockmen it was
noted that the symptoms were nearly
uniform in all parts of the state and
that the poisoning was not confined to
animals Of any particular age. Sam
Piles Of sorghum which had caused the
death Of cattle were analysed and test
ed for chemical poisons, but none was
found. 1t is of Importance to note In
this connection that the nitrogen con-
tent of the samples which were ana
lyzed was not above the average.
The opinion is somewhat widespread
that the second growth Of sorghum is
more dangerous than the first growth.
This may have been the experience of
| stockmen in some localities, but when
| all cases which have been reported
from different parts Of the state are
considered it is found that the first
growth is not always harmless and the
second growth is not always poisonous
The majority Of cases Of poisoning
| reported were due to eating the second
growth Of sorghum. The first growth,
however, is not fed in a green state to
the same extent as the second growth,
and this fact may account for the more
extensive poisoning from the second
growth plants.
Professor Hiltner leaves the problem
| still unsolved.
