Washington, June 15-Many deaths,

animals, are caused every year by
cicuta or water hemlock, poisonous
plant, which has been seen in Imee-
rial Valley.
1t is the most violently poisonous
Of temperate region plants, yet it is
not generally recognized. Learn 10
know it and look out for it! A warn
ing has just been issued by special
lists of the United States Department
cf Agriculture in the form of cir
cular from the Bureau of Anima! IN
dustry, "Cicuta Hater Hemlock) as
q Poisonous Plant" which describes
this plant and gives remedies,
though cases among domestic animals
must be considered as practically
hopeless so far as treatment is con-
Cerned.
Cicuta is widely distributed I'M
fortunately, it resembles number OF
farmless plants and is not easily rec
ognizable. 1t belongs to the same
family as carrots and parsnips. 1t
has number of popular names, of
which the most common is "cowbane,"
or water hemlock." In the mountain
regions of the West it is frequently
called "parsnip" or wild parsnip."
Other names, less common, are
"snakeroot," "snakeweed," beaver
POISON" muskrat weed" Spotted
Eemlock" and spotted parsley"
The plant grows in wet places and
is especially common in some parts of
the West along irrigating bitches. 1t
has thickened rootstock with roots
v hich sometimes take the form of q
group of tubers. The cicuta is most
readily distinguished from plants of
similar appearance growing under the
same conditions by the transverse
chambers in the rootstock These can
he seen by making longitudinal sec
ton. Further description, except by
botanical terms, is difficult, but the
circular mentioned presents illustra-
tons that make recognition easier.
