FROM CORNSTALkS

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. IL. -
The ravages of the corn stalk dis
ease among horses this winter are
the worst in the history of Ne

n. Day, state field veterinarian
In a report today.
According to word received by
the state veterinarian depart
ment from one of its field men,
over two hundred horses have
died in one county alone as re-
suit Of the disease.
The animals affected with the
disease first become affected with
dr0wsiness and later become de-
lirf0us. The disease is acute and
death results within a few days.
The attacks are in almost every
instance fatal.
A substance in the corn stalk
on which the animals feed causes
the poisoning. An analysis by
government experts at Washing
ton resulted in the report that
the poisonous substance is a spe-
cies of mould.
