Wheat Poisoned by Selenium
Discovered in Some Soils
Effect of Chemical on Growing Plant
Subject of Discussion in Science
Association Publication.

strange condition wherein wheat
may be virulent poison has just been
discovered by Department Of Agricul-
ture chemists.
1t depends on the presence in the
soil in which it is grown Of at least
one part in million of the chemical
element selenium, which in some way
is absorbed by the growing plant.
Selenium, closely allied to sulphur and
best known through its curious prop
erty of changed electrical resistance
makes possible the photo-electric cell,
also has limited use in insecticides.
Report in Science Paper.
The discovery of its poisoning quail
ity is reported by E. M. Nelson, A. M
Science. the organ of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science. They found that when wheat
was grown on soil which contained Is
parts selenium in million the plants
themselves turned white and were
Stunted in the growth, but when the
mixture was reduced to one part in a
million the plants thrived and the
grain matured normally.
But when this wheat was fed to rats
and guinea pigs the growth of the
animals was retarded and they died
in a few weeks. 1t was found that
to 10 parts per million in the soil
produced wheat that was highly fatal,
having effects on the livers which
could easily be observed
The report was issued as a warning
against the irresponsible use of insec-
tlcideS containing selenium Ordi-
narily it would be thought that when
the poison was washed off the fruit
would be safe to eat. In this case,
when 1t enters the soil it may be alb
sorbed by the plants through the roots

DENVER STUDIES
FLOOD CONTROL
Investigation May Result in
Request for 100000
Federal Loan.
BY the Associated Press.

DENVER, August l9.-With the ter
ror of the recent Cherry Greek hood
which followed the bursting OF Castle
wood Dam still fresh in mind, Denver
Is making an invest cation OF flood con-
troll costs to free itself from the peril
of another Gelugc The study may re-
suit in a request 10 the Federal Govern
ment for a loan of more than 81 ,OOO ,0OO.
When the dam cracked and released
q lake several square miles in extent to
batter its way through the heart OF
Denver, fertile area was devastated for
a distance of 35 miles between the reser-
yoir and the city.
There is little likelihood of Castle
wood Dam being rebuilt because of the
comparatively small area it served and
the heavy cost of such project.
Investigate Cost
A. K Vickery, city engineer; Herbert
s. Croker, special engineer Tor Denver,
and James D. Parriott, city attorney,
have begun an investigation, however,
to determine how much it would cost
adequately to protect Denver from an
other Cherry Greek flood.
Funds will be necessary, they say, Tor
widening the channel of the stream;
strengthening its banks and those OF the
Platte River into which 1t emptleS IN
the Denver loWlandS; for retaining walls
in several places inside the city limits
and for replacing bridges demolished o.
badly damaged when the flood roared
through the city.
Besides. there will be a dam about
8 miles southeast of Denver, under
tentative plans, and a reservoir which
will require many thousands OF dollars.
Would Cost S2,0O0,000.
The entire flood control program, IN
its present status, would involve loan
from Uncle Sam of at least $4,000 900,
city officials believe.
Under q Colorado statute, Parrlott
pointed out. the city itself and the out
lying territory between here and Cas-
tlewood Dam could be united in flood
district" similar to the one formed TO
protect the Pueblo district from the
ravages of the Arkansas River.
To form such district. Parrlott ex-
planned, it is necessary for 200 residents
of the vicinity to go into court and petl-
ton that the district be created.
Unless so per cent Of the property
owners within the affected area protest.
he said the district would be created
automatically
When the cost of the flood control
program is tabulated. and if the special
district is designated. Vickery said Par
riott and Crocker probably would go at
once to Washington to present the clty's
application for Federal loan.

and, entering into combination with
some elements Of the plant itself,
produce a poison more virulent than
the original selenium.
Other Plants Affected.
What happens to wheat, it is pointed
out, probably happens with other
plants to a less degree. Just what
form the new poison takes is unknown,
but it was ascertained that the sele-
mum is closely associated with the
protein Of the grain.
Selenium also may occur naturally
in some soils. although whether in
sufficient amounts to produce the poi
soning effect is unknown. The inves-
:igation grew out of efforts to solve the
mystery of a so-called poison grain
area in the Middle West where strange
effects had been noted on animals.
The human Inhabitants of the region
appeared unaffected. Traces of sele-
mum had been found in chemical
analysis of the soils of this region.
