ASKS U. s. TO JOIN IN FIGHTING LOCO WEED
 ON ARIZONA RANGES

PHOENIX, June 3.-Urging the government to take action in an en- deavor to eradicate loco weed from the Arizona ranges. Dr. R. J. High, state veterinarian. has written the bureau of animal industry asking that experts be sent to the state to pre- vent the growth of the weed which has caused serious cattle losses.
 Dr. Flight, who has just returned from the northern part of the state. declared yesterday that the situation is becoming more serious each year and that in his opinion the time had come to eradicate the weed rather than attempt a cure of the cattle. h one outfit in Navajo county 300 head of yearlings were lost and large per cent Of another hundred head will be lost from the same cause. The calf erop in that section is nil. he said, due to the loco weed.
 The loco weed is very rank in parts of the range. due to the extremely wet season, he said. IL came up in the winter while other feed was scarce. and the cattle fed on it. many dying.
 Dr. Flight suggested that the ami mals be watched and when they show the effect of the loco weed. they be driven off to other feed-if possible in a corral and fed on hay. oil cake and ensilage. Hypodermic injections of strychnine in small daily doses are psed to good advantage in many cases though 1t is not practical treat ment under range conditions. the ve;- erinarian says. The way in which the cattle can be saved is through experts being sent to the state, ac- eording to Dr. Flight who has advo- rated this plan to the government
