Report Of University Research Com
mission.
SoT CONTAGIOUS or INFECTIOUS
Recurrence Dependent Upon Climat-
ic Conditions-NO Cure
No Organism or Virus
Found.

Topeka, July S.-That the dis
ease so prevalent among horses In
central and western Kansas last
year was forage poisoning" was
the report made to the governor to-
day by the university research COM
mission. The commission is COM
posed OF s. j. Hunter, professor OF
entomology; A. L. Skoog, associate
professor of neurology; w. X. Trim
BILE. associate professor OF clinical
pathology, and N. P. Sherwood, in
structor in botany and bacteriology.
The commission was appointed by
Chancellor Frank Strong OF the
state university.
Many thousands of horses died IN
Kansas last year from the plague,
which. prevailed in a considerable
portion Of the state.
ne report says that the disease
80 far as known, is neither conta-
gious nor infectious.
"No specific organism or virus

be considered as the cause OF TINS
disease. 1t has not been produced
in horses experimentally by means
Of transfusions of incubation from
sick horses to we'll horses. The
nathologic findings are not those OF
any known infectious disease.
mo evidence has arisen to indl-
cate that in water alone is to De
found the cause of the disease. The
nature of the disease suggests q
poison introduced from without. The
cause is associated with molds and
parasitic fungi growing on grains
and other vegetation. 1t occurred
only among horses grazing in pas
lures, fed upon late cut, Improperly
cured forage.
zone attack of the disease does
not immunize the subject against q
second attack.
,"Prophylaxis, or preventative
treatment, through the exercise oil
proper care in giving only pure
water, well cured forage and grain
, in limited quantities during the
period of the outbreak is the only
proven means of dealing with the
disease. Where these precautions
have been carefully needed this
sickness among horses has ceased.
with the appearance of cooler wea-
Their, accompanied by frost, the dis
ease began to abate. A return of
the disease is, in our opinion, de-
pendent upon the recurrence OF ell
matte conditions similar to those OF
the past season"

STATE TO START A CANNERY.
Insane Patients Will Operate Plant
at Larned Hospital.

Topeka, July S.-The land pur-
chased by the state near Larned for
the new state hospital for the in
sane is expected to supply enough
farm produce for all of the state
charitable institutions. An irTiga-
ton plant for the entire farm and
a canning factory to take care of
the crops will be installed on the
property.
The Larned hospital will be a
big industrial institution and 1t Is
intended that 1t will supply all OF
the canned corn, peas, beans and
tomatoes used in all the other char
table institutions when 1t is in full
operation. Each of the institutions
now has farm, but only of limited
acreage, and the product also is
limited. The new hospital will be a
big farm for the other hospitals.
1t is intended that incurable but
harmless Insane, except those COM
ing from the far western part of the
state, will be the only patients kept
at Larned. Outdoor work is the
best treatment for the incurable in
sane as this keeps them busy and
prevents brooding and melancholia.
This class Of patients win be moved
from the Topeka and osawatomie
hospitals.

MUST ISSUE WARRANTS

iirmed the action of the franklin
Circuit Court, granting a writ Of
Mandamus to State University TO
compel State Auditor Bosworth 10
issue warrants for $4,000 appropriat-

Station.
The Auditor had refused the war
rants on the glound that Outstand-
ing warrants exceed $500 200, the con-
Stitutional limitation.
