NOTES FROM OTTAWA
COUNTY AGENT
FRED CRIkAM

Two new bulletins are available
at your county Extension Service
office. No. $40, Larceny In The Hen
House, tells how to deal with rats,
weaselS, foxes, skunks, coons, dogs,
hawks and owls that prey on poul-
try. 1t even tells how to identify
evidence of the various predators.
Bulletin 308 is on Rates of Feed
Consumption For Livestock. 1t
shows how to figure amount of
feed In silos, etc, as well as esti-
mate needs for dairy, sheep, hogs,
beef and poltry.

Dick Gorrell, feed salesman for
Allied Mills is planning cattle

Dairymen will be pleased to
know that milk drinking is increas-
ing in Ohio schools. 1915 schools
participate in the program and the
children drank more than 10 mil

Research news from Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station: a new
wheat named LUCAS is looking
good in tests and may be available
for planting in two years. Granular
insecticides for corn borer control
were first tried in 1855 on sweet
corn. New apple paintings on old
orchard sites need added potash.
Researcher James Beattie found
that added potash gave longer ter
minal growth and more pounds of
fruit. In addition the fertilized fruit
was larger and had more color.
That poultry tour last week ex-
ceeded the committees fondest
hope. 1t was a success much of
it due to the old fashioned hos
pitality of Anthony Schibilla, son
Seraphine and daughter Virginia.
We stopped in to see their modern
turkey shelter and were served hot
coffee and turkey sandwiches. 1t
surely was a treat and much ap-
preciated.

Cattle Owners
Warned On Nitrate
Poisoning In Herds

Veterinary authorities warned
cattle owners today against the
possibility of nitrate poisoning in
their herds caused by cattle graz
ing on green oats that has been
fortified with nitrate fertilizer.
The American Foundation for
Animal Health says this is not
new type of poisoning. Cereal crops
especially when immature, often
contain large amounts of potassium
nitrate. Research indicates that
cats contained larger amount than
The other cereal crops tested.
Research also showed that the
amount of nitrate taken up by a
plant is not only influenced by the
nitrate content and type of soil
but also on climatic conditions.
Since the conversion of nitrates to
other compounds depends on light;
dark, cloudy weather may reduce
the light intensity to such an extent
that there will be a build up of nj
trate content in he plants, even
though the nitrate content of the
soil may be low.
Symptoms of nitrate poisoning
include difficulty in breathing and
type of paralysis causing the ami
NAL to go down. Poisoned animals
grunt as if they are in pain. Death
usually occurs within an hour after
the animal goes down.
Prompt diagnosis of the condi-
ton, and treatment by a veteri-
marian is necessary if severe losses
are to be avoided, the Foundation
concludes.
