Prussic Acid Poisoning

Prussic acid poinsoning may be
a serious matter and results in the
loss of cattle, horses and sheep
when sudan grass, sugar came and
buckwheat are pastured after
frost, according to the county
Agricultural Agent.
Prussic acid forms in the leaves
of the above named plants after
frost and remains present until the
plant is nearly as dry as hay. AS
drying takes place the amount of
this toxic substance is gradually
reduced. When the plant is COM
pletly dry it again becomes safe
for feed.
Livestock producers in trying to
use up every available bit of waste
feed, may be tempted to turn stock
into fields that have second
growth of sundan grass, ar sugar
cane. Unless enough time elapses
to permit the plants to dry up COM
pletely the practice may be an ex-
pensive one. Buckwheat straw
even after being threshed for
some time carried enough prussic
acid to kill a number of cattle in "a
western Minnesota County.

weights and in proper condition.
All others should be double-treat-
ed. Pigeons and tramp dogs quite
often assist in the spread of the
disease from farm to farm. Both
should be destroyed in areas where
cholera exists. Unnecessary travel
and visiting from one farm to an
other should also be avoided.
Where breeding stock and small
pigs alone are vaccinated the cost
will not be prohibitive.

of acres of the tax rolls Of the
state, and turned the land back
into the name of the state, J. P.
Mcdonnell, Of Buffalo, vice presi-
dent of the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association, declared in a talk to-
day.
In trying to help the farmer our
legislators have been dealing with
effects, not causes. What is it, af-
ter all,-that has brought this per-
picking farm problem? It is of
prices below cost of production for
farm products. That's the whole
story, and while cause. Farm debts
farm mortgages, all have grown
out of low prices for farm pro-
ducts. When you talk about farm
debts you are dealing with effects,
and not with cause. The disp arity
between the price of farm pro-
ducts, as compared with the prices
of other commodities is at the
foundation of our troubles. Once
this riddle of price disparity is
solved, other farm problems in due
time will almost automatically
solve themselves, Mcdonnell de-
clared. p,
Perhaps we could get farther
toward a solution if our leaders
would concentrate their thought
on causes, rather than nibble at
the fringes of the subject and ex-
haust all their efforts on effects
that only confuse, that disillusion
our people, that raise taxes, and
still leave our farmers bankrupt.
The whole thing is like a person
that is suffering from infection in
his system. The sick man develops
many ailments and perhaps several
of his organs refuse to function
normally, but if the infection itself
is treated and cured, we have
reached the seat of the the trouble,
and the organs of the body again
commence to work in a normal
way, Mcdonnell remarked.

THE COUNTY AGENT
Land Lease Meeting

Over one hundred and fifty far.
mers attended the land lease meet
ing scheduled at Belgrade and Ell
rosa for the afternoon and evening
of September 81. These meetings
were conducted by the County
Agricultural Agent and w. L. Ca
vert, extension man in farm man
agement at University Farm St.
Paul. A responsive group was pre-
sent at both meetings.
Mr.. Cavert discussed the leasing
of farm land both from the stand
point of owner and tenant. At pre-
sent 1870 of all Minnesota land is
operated under a lease and there
are indications to lead one to be-
lieve that this percentage will in
crease for the next few years, stat
ed Mr.. Cavert. The landlord has
the biggest problem in finding the
most desirable tenant. If a good
tenant is found, upkeep of build
ings, weed eradication and good
tillage of the soil will follow. A
landlord wants all these things &C
complished on his farm. The good
tenant should look for the best
land according to Mr.. Cavert. If
it comes to a choice between good
buildings and good soil on two diff
ferent farms he should choose the
best soil. The rental differences be-
tween good and poor land is too
small. In many cases a tenant
would be better off to pay the reg
ular 1-3 rent on the good soil rath-
er than get a farm with poor soil
for nothing with taxes paid and all
buildings kept in repair.
Prices paid for both cash rent
in recent years have not been in
line with commodity prices, Mr.. Ca
vert brought out. Owners have not
been able to make the people re-
auctions because of fixed charges
in the form of taxes, insurance and
upkeep of buildings.
According to the speaker local
landlords are better for the tenant
to deal with than corporation land
lords. Corporation land lords
whether they be Minnesota Rural
Credits, Bureau, the Federal Land
Bank or the big insurance compan-
les are primarily interested in the
sale of the land they are holding.
Tenant should be careful about
sale clauses, in land contracts with
these corporations so that April /
will not find him without a place
to park for the season. Problems
of the farm can be discussed more
readily with a landlord a few miles
away who probably knows his own
farm better than anyone else.
In closing Cavert warned ten
ants who are thinking of buying a
farm to leave the idea alone until
they are positive they can hold
the farm they might buy. They
should be able to pay down one
half the purchase price in order to
rest reasonably secure. The pur-
chase from corporations with 1870
down is not safe for the purchaser.
Cavert stated that the land bar
gains will be here yet for a few
years and the buy now or never
propaganda should not be taken
too seriously.

$4,000, 900 of State Debt
Based on Rural Credits
Three Million Acres Go Back To
State and Off The Tax Rolls,
Mcdonnell Points Out

Out of the total state indebted
ness of $4,000, 900 in Minnesota in
1881, $61, 100000 of these debts
were contracted to finance the
rural credits program with the re
suit that today this state has
approximately $500 farms on
its hands. The state has
attempted to finance private bust
ness on the theory that we can
gain prosperity by legislation. And
yet very few farmers believe that
their condition has been helped by
this movement that took millions
