CAUSE FOR STOCK
POISONING GIVEN
BY COUNTY AGENT

Relative to the possible poisoning
OF stock on certain fall pastries, Coun-
ty Agent J, w. Owens issued the fol-
lowing statement today, dealing with
the causes for such poisoning:
"A great deal of inquiry is being
made as to just what causes cattle
to die from eating sorghum cane and
grain sorghums in the second growth
stage in the fall,
at is a well established fact that
a great many plants contain prussic
acid
ut has been claimed by some that
small amount Of prussic acid is
present in all growing plants, and
that it is a necessary constituent in
developing plant growth. How true
this is does not matter to the far
mer He knows very well that there
is something stored away in certain
sorghums, enough OF which If taken
into a cows stomach, will produce
death very quickly. Prussic acid in
sorghum exists in the form of
glucoside and possibly in other
forms. It has also been found that
anything which tends to retard the
growth of the plant increases the
amount Of acid until it is possible for
one mouthfu taken by COW to
cause death.
Former drouthy conditions have
been ideal for the development of
sufficient quantities Of this poison
to make it extremely dangerous for
pasturing, and no one we'll informed
by past experience and observation
will offer advice, but will rather
leave the impression upon any far
mer, that there is always a certain
amount of risk taken when pastur-

TEACHERS
WILL GET
FULL PAY
Salaries Not to be Cut by Enforc
ed Idleness Caused by Influ-
enza Quarantine is Opinion
Expressed.

School teachers in Chickasha and
Grady county schools will receive
pay for their enforced idlensss due
to the closing of schools on accoant
of the Spanish influenza epidemic,
according to City superintendent Ra-
mey and County superintendent
Shepard.
This action has been taken by the
city school board and State Superin-
tendent r. II. Wilson, who has noti-
fled county superintendent M. II.
Shepard to allow salaries to county
teachers for their idle time. The
city school board further ruled that
teachers must remain in the city to
reap the benefit OF the ruling allow
ing salaries for the period of Idle
ness.
Two hundred and seventy teachers
in this city and county will be ac-
fected by the rulings, according TO
local school authorities.
The following letter giving tho
opinion OF the attorney general OF
the state, has been received by Coun'
ty Superintendent Shepard from
State superintendent Wilson.
"On account Of the epidemic OF in
fluenza over the state practically ali
the schools have been closed by or
der Of the state and county health
boards. Many inquiries have como
to us with reference to the paying
Of teachers salaries during the Pc
riod Of time which schools are clos
ed We, therefore, asked the attor-
ney general of the state for an opln'
ion as TO whether or not the teach
ers whose schools are closed should
receive pay, to which he replies by
calling our attention to an opinion
rendered to the county attorney OF
Harper county under date Of October
16, 1915, as follows
"Your attention is respectfully
directed to Mckay VS.. Barnett, p
Utah 239, so L. r. A. 571, 60 Pac.
100, case with excellent collection
of authorities and precisely in point.
In this case cited, your point was
urged by the defendant and deter
mined by the court. The authority
for this case and others cited therein
by the overwhelming weight sup
ports the contention of the school
teacher in her claim for salary based
upon the contract entered into with
the board for the time lost by vr-
tue of the enforced quarantine
Therefore, it is our opinion that un-
less special provision is made in the
contract between the parties allow
ing deduction in salary upon sucn
contingency, the claim of the school
teacher for balance of her salary
should be allowed
schools will be closed on an av-
erage of perhaps two weeks. 1t
seems unjust for the teachers to lose
their salaries for this amount OF
time. It also seems unjust for the
children to lose this amount of time
from school We, therefore, suggest
that a large portion of this time can
be made up by teaching school on
the holidays which are usually given
in most schools
