AN IMPORTANT MATTER

A very large crop of sweet pota-
toes is being raised in Marion county,
enough for home needs and much
over.
Sweet potatoes do not keep very
long, and right now is the time for
our farmers to begin to make prep
arations to market the crop.
1t will not be possible to market it
to advantage without cooperation,
and in the Stars opinion this is one
Of the things our county demonstrat-
ing agent is best able to arrange. If
our farmers will report their probable
crops to him at once, and he in turn
will report either to the food COM
mission, or firms competent to put
the tubers on the market, it's the
Stars belief that gratifying result
will be attained.
At any rate, it is a matter of i'm
portance both to Marion county peo-
pie and the entire nation, and our
farmers should get busy with it at
once.
Mr.. Nathan Mayo has a potato
drying plant at Summerfield, but it
will not be able to handle tenth of
the surplus crop, so the situation
should be communicated Immediately
to the food commission or some other
national agency.

Many deaths. both of human beings
and domestic animals, are caused
every year by cicuta, or water hem
lock, poisonous plant. 1t is the most
violently poisonous of temperate re-
gion plants, yet it is not generally rec
ogniZed. Learn to know it and look
out for it, warming has been issued
by the specialists of the United STATES
department of agriculture in the fol N
of circular from tie bureau OF amin ii

a Poisonous Plant" viii describes
this plant and gives remedies, though
cases among domestic animals must
be considered as practically hopeless
so far as treatment is concerned
Cicuta is widely distributed. Unfor-
tunately it resembles a number of
harmless plants and is not easily rec
ognizable. 1t belongs to the same fam
lily as carrots and parsnips 1t has a
number of popular names, of which
the most common is "cowbane," or
water hemlock." The plant grows in
wet places and is especially common
in some parts of the west along irri-
eating bitches. 1t has a thickened
root stock, with roots which sometimes
take the form of a group of tubers
The cicuta is most readily distinguish
ed from plants of similar appearance
growing under the same conditions by
the transverse chambers in the root
stock. These can be seen by making
a longitudinal section
Only the root of cicuta is poisonous
Cases Of poisoning are more frequent
In the spring, partly because the roots
are more likely to be noticed at that
time and partly because they appear
to be more poisonous then than later
In the season. In cases of the poison
ing of human beings the recognized
treatment is to give an efficient emetic,
followed by a cathartic Some form
of opium may be given to control the
commissions when they are violent If
free vomiting is promptly produced
the patient is likely to recover.
Perhaps there is no way to prevent
some cases of poisoning of children.
Something might be accomplished,
however, If parents and teachers
would attempt to make clear to chill
dren the danger of eating strange
roots,
