CORNSTALK DISEASE KILLS
Slime GEORGIA BEEVES
Houston County Farmer Tells of
Heavy Loss from Unusual Cause.
Two Heavy Frosts Needed.

MACON, GA.-Jack W. Hodge, of
Henderson, tells an interesting story
of his experience with 1875 beef cat
tie which he recently turned into a
field of cornstalks. velvet beans and
groundpeas. Within a few days after
he turned these cattle into the field
he found eighteen of them dead. He
sent for DR.. J. H. Coffman, of the
state veterinarians office, who, upon
investigation, stated the cattle had
died of what is sometimes known as
"cornstalk disease"
He said this frequently happened
where cattle were turned into pas
lures where they could get cornstalks
which they would eat heartily as
roughage before the frost had fallen
upon the stalks.
Two Frosts Needed.
DR.. Coffman said that at least two
good killing frosts should strike the
cornfields before cattle are turned in
to them, otherwise a poison was like
ly to be generated which would be IA
tai. The remaining cattle were
taken out of the field, and no more
died,

on the basis of an American army
of 100000 on both sides of the At
lantic," explained DIR. Mott, the lead
err of the campaign. "Now we are
preparing for an army of 100000,
and besides there are 100000 sailors
and marines to consider"
Further requirements include ex-
tension of the work to industrial
workers and, at the invitation of the
allies, to the armed forces of France,
Italy and Portugal. Still another re-
