OF Prussic Acid Poison

Phoenix, Ariz-, July 9.-Death Of Il
head of cattle, shortly after they were
turned into pasture at the c. E Cart

ing. according to state veterinarian
r J. High. Samples of johnson
grass taken from the field and ana
lived at the state laboratory at Tue
son failed to show any traces OF
prussic acid. DR.. High said. but ow-
ing to the fact that the acid would
not appear after the grass had wilted,
it would not be possible to determine
its presence, he said Reports that
the cattle had died from eating grass
in a field where grasshopper poison
had been scattered were branded as
ridiculous both by High and by state
entomologist D. c. Note No grass
hopper bait had been sprinkled in the
field, officials declared. and it would
have produced no i'll effect upon cattle
eating 1t in any event
There was every symptom IN this
case of prussic acid poisoning, and il
was probably due to the eating Of
Johnson grass which had not been
irrigated for some time"
