FOUL FEED FOR LIVESTOCK


Stockmen of the state are warned
by DR.. j. d. Adams, state director of
the bureau of animal industry, not to
allow the feed managers in their stables
TO become mouldy and foul, as this
condition will generate botulinus poi
son germs, and the animals eating
forage out of such managers will die of
what is called forage poisoning" says
Statesman.
Doctor Adams has just returned
from Arco, where he has been inves-
tigating the death of many animals in
the Lost river country A great many
horses and cows died up there, he
said, and with the exception of few
cases of rabies and usual sickness,
such as cholera, practically all the
deaths were due to forage poisoning
Doctor Adams found that some of
the ranchers were feeding the mouldy
and rotten potatoes remaining in the
potato bins after the winter. He dis
couraged this, and warns all stockmen
not to feed animals mouldy or rotten
potatoes. Good, solid potatoes, in mod
crate quantities, will do no harm.

MY company is not involved in

case.

industry to help the authorities
clear it up and not handicap them
in their investigation.
IF there are undesirables in the
Hollywood colony, the producers
are as anxious as any one to get
rid of them and clean up the
colony. 1t hurts the business to
have undesirables in it. so it is
ridiculous to charge that money is
being spent to hush up the Taylor
scandal. II the movie business
needs cleaning up. the producers
will do il themselves. They must
do it to protect their own interests"
Adolph Zukor, head Of the Fam
Gus Players, is on his way to Los
Angeles to take a hand in the in.
vestigation of the Taylor case, it
was learned today.
ut is as unjust to say that
moving pictures need cleaning up
as to speak of cleaning up the
United States" Samuel Goldwyn,
president of the Goldwyn Pictures
Corporation declared.
Goldwyn said the report that
motion picture producers are at
tempting to suppress the facts in
the Taylor case would be too
absurd to warrant comment were il
not that many thousands of people
read II and believe it, as they have
believed other false stories published

The good and helpful things the
