Prussic Acid Is
Cause OF Poison
Cases In WING.
Attention Called by Expert
to Occasions When Ami
mails Harmed

Prussic acid poisoning has been
occurring in the western areas OF
the state during the past month.
1t is sometimes called cane pois-
oning, cyanide poisoning.
The cause of poisoning is the
development of hydrocyanic acid
in plants, says DR.. C. D. Grinnells,
veterinarian at the North Caro-
lima Experiment station. The acid
forms from glucosides in the
plants. Sorghum, Johnson grass,
chokecherry, wild blackberry, su-
dan grass, flax, and arrow grass
are capable of developing hydro
Cyanic or pruSsic acid.
russic acid develops in sufficient
Quantities to be harmful to ami
mails only when the normal growth
is checked or stopped, points out
DR.. Grinnells. This interruption
NAV be causde by drOuth, frost,
bruising, whiting, moving or 9TH
er causes. The acid suspends the
animal tissue functions producing
suffocation and death.
The symptoms occur suddenly
when the cyanide containing plants
are gazed. Often sudden death
occurs before treatment can be
given. In other cases the symp-
toms develop slower and treat
ment may be given with reason
able chance of success. Muscular
tremors. inco-ordination of move
ment, staggering, and inability to
stand are the more common visible
symptoms. These may be followed
, by open mouth breathing and con-
vulSionS.
Drouth, frost, and wilter plants
of the above species should cause
livestock owners to be extremely
cautious, warns the veterinarian,
/ Corn Or other starchy feeds when
given previous to grazing a sus-
! pected area will check the forma-
ton Of prussic acid. 1t is also a
good practice to pasture animals
of less value on these areas until
they are known not to contain the
harmful poisoning results.
! In treating the condition the
antidotes are Injected into the
tlood-stream as immediate action
is necessary. Solutions of sodium
have been found to give excellent
results by research workers at the
University of Minnesota and the
United States department of agri-
culture. Many of our practicing
veterinarians also report very sat
isfactory results under the field
| conditions. declares DR.. Grinnells.

Last year each one in the group
bought some professional book,
These books were passed around
each month so that each teacher
would have a chance to read the
five different books and yet they
would only have the expense OF
buying one of them. The group
decided to do this again this year.
The following books will be pur-
chased and circulated this year
The Art of Leadership, Education

cident. pure and simple"
Chief Judge T. Scott Onutt, in
passing sentence. said. "The interest
Of the police Of the State must be up
held and the interest Of the State
must be protected. The court does
not feel that it should treat this as a
light and trivial thing"

The seamen, In . column Of twos,
marched by the embassy half . dozen
times shouting: Down with Hitler"

public appearances.
Secretary Morgenthau today said he
"was greatly shocked by the death Of
Gus Gennerich. a member Of the White
House detail Of the U. g. Secret Service,
charged with the protection Of the

President Roosevelt, it was said at

HIS good nature and keen sense Of

President himself was deeply attached
to the former New York police de-

that his loss would be felt by the en-

Reports OF the Anglo-French accord

When Mr.. Roosevelt came to the
White House, Gennerich was able to
retire from the New York police force
and was appointed to the secret serv-
ice, to enable him to continue his
attendance on the President. In
Washington he stayed at the May

President left for his home in Hyde
