DREADED LOCO WEED
Herds of Texas Cattle are Endairy
cred On The Plains
UNITED Press Dispatch.1

lUnJeQ PreSS DlSpdtCn.J
San Engelo, Tex, July 26.-Texas
cattlemen are again confronted with
the dread Loco weed, the eating of
which causes thousands of casualties
among the great cattle herds which
roam the southwestern plains.
Loco weeds are to cattle what
drugs are to the human system, &C
cording to recent investigations. The
Loco weeds thrive just before the
spring grass sprouts and then again
late in the fall. With little to Craze
upon cattle eat the Loco weed, which
is in appearance not unlike alfalfa,
although it's color is purplish. Cattle,
once they eat the Loco weed can sat
isfy their appetites with nothing else.
They refuse to eat grass. The Loco
weeds have little nutriment. The
cattle become thin from undernour-
ishment and thousands die. What
substance is contained in the plants
that is poisonous has not yet been
determined. One theory presented
is that some animal parasite or small
fungoid hidden on the plant is re-
sponsible.
