CATYLEN|EN WARNED
AGAINST CANE FEED
Stunning by Drouth or Frost
Makes Feeding Exceptionally
Hazardous

Investigations Of reports that num-
erous cattle have died from eating
sugar cane brought q warning Friday
from DR.. T. O. Brandenburg. state
veterinarian, that owners would sus-
tain heavier loss from prussic acid
poisoning than ever before unless they
use extra vigilance in preventing stock
from eating sugar cane, sorghums, su-
dan grass or even corn and millets
that have been killed or severely
stunted in an immature state by
drouth or frost.
1.-THE drouth has been 30 severe In
most sections Of the state" the veter-
marian said, that oil forage crops
are stunted or have died. This favors
prussic acid producing principles In
sugar cane, sorghums, sudan grass and
occasionally In corn and millets."
Prevention Is the best policy in semi
arid sections, such Is western North
Dakota, Brandenburg said.
THE forage that Is most susceptible
to prussic acid productions" he stated,
should not be grown In western North
Dakota. When this forage Is grown It
can be safely fed by thorough fermen-
tation In silos or by thoroughly drying
it before feeding it to livestock. Even
then" he added, 1T should b tested
by feeding it to few Of the least
valuable cattle on the farm"
AS prussic acid Is eliminated in the
cows stomach following fermentation.
the early administration Of drugs that
inhibit fermentation are indicated.
Brandenburg said. He recommended
for this purpose one per cent solution
Of potassium permanganate in quart
doses, or one ounce Of formaldehyde
in one quarter Of milk.
These drugs apparently have pre-
vented further production Of prussic
acid in the cows stomachs and have
resulted In the saving Of some sick
animals, he pointed cut.

the man was Van Meter, and careful
plans were laid for his capture, dead

For two weeks the hunt went on,

against society, was shot down.
Chief Of Police Frank Cullen re-
fused to disclose the source Of his in

through relatives Of q woman with
whom the outlaw associated here.
Chief Cullen said his men had
found several Of Van Meters hide

had planted men for him, but each
time the outlaw evaded them.

G0RMAN REJECTS PR0FFER

Labor disputes, headed by the threat
of general walkout by cotton mill
workers by September 1. were smould-
ering Friday on seven fronts.
Hopes to avert the cotton textile
strike OF some 100000 workers re-
ceived another blow Friday when the
strike committee appointed to direct
the walkout rejected the offer Of the
good offices" of the industrial rela-
tons board.
Francis J. German, chairman OF the
strike committee, told Robert Bruere,
chairman Of the cotton textile rela-
tions board, that "our experience =. ].
in the operation Of the board thus far
gives US no confidence in its ability
to adjust the issues now at stake in
fairness to labor"
In a lengthy communication to
Bruere, German said I'VE shall not
enter into any discussions or pro-
ceedings unless or until we have valid
assurances that the employers in the
industry are prepared to meet the
issues through representatives fully
authorized to act conclusively and i'm
mediately."
Rejection Seen Az Crisis
The reaction OF the textile commit
tee to the proffer Of Bruere to have
his board act as q nediating agency
brought to q crisis the textile strike
situation which threatens to have APP
proximately 10000 workers in the
various branches Of the industry on
strike within q week.
German said our policy has not
been changed. We do not intend to
60 into lengthy conferences. The only
proposition that will interest us is one
that contains some specific offer"
Pittsburgh's Central Labor Union,
spokesman for 100000 workers, wants

Kohler Appeals For Aid
Mr.. Roosevelt's aid in settling the
strike at the Kohler company's plumb
ing supply factory in Kohler. Wis.,,
was asked by the Wisconsin State Fed
Grafton Of Labor Friday.
Acting on recommendation OF the
national labor relations board, the
MIRA revoked the Blue Eagle Of the
Chicago Motor Coach Company. Strik-
ing bus drivers rejoiced, hoping to
gain the public's support. A sympathy
