worms, are causing severe damage
to alfalfa in some counties. On seed

There have been no outbreaks Of

Cooler weather is slowing down

Prussic Acid
Danger 10
Livestock Stressed

Seasonal hazards Of prussic acid
poisoning to livestock are being
stressed by VPI farm experts.
They say new growth in either
sudan grass or sorghum after a
frost is extremely high ii prussic
acid content and is very dangerous
to livestock.
Many questions are already be-
ing received this year from farmers
about the use Of sudan Or sorghum
which has been frosted, and the adj
vice is to approach with caution.
The safest way to save frosted or
frozen sorghum or sudan is to cut
it within a day OF two before new
GROWTH and make silage Of it. Gem
orally, enough prussic acid is lost
in a gaseous form during ensiling
and when the silage is being moved
and fed to make it safe for live
stock Silage made from frosted or
frozen sudan or sorghum should not
be settled until a chemical test is
made to determine if prusslc acid
is present. County agents can give
information on the correct proce-
dure for having the test made.
Prussic acid content decreases
during curing Of hay or fodder so
that these materials are dangerous
to feed only occasionally. Do not let
animals Craze frosted or froben SUI
dan or sorghum stubble until it is
dead and thoroughly cured, the spe-
cialiSts advise.
Sorghums are unsuitable for pas
ture generally and are unsafe to
Craze in all stages Of growth, ex-
cept after the plants are mature
and no new growth is present.
Sudan rarely kills animals in Vir-
ginia unless it is contaminated with
sorghum or sorghum-sudan hybrids
Sudan is normally safe to Craze
after it is 18 inches tall.

Problem OF increasing Drinking

Locher revealed that in 1913 S

drivers involved were known to

155 per cent Of all fatal crashes in
volved a drinking driver.
Both percentages have increased
steadily through the years and
stood. in 1858, at 24.3 and 1873 re-
spectively. As alarming as is this
trend, LOcher pointed out that it
does not give the full picture for
in many cases. it is not determined
that driver had been drinking and
thus the fact is not entered stats
tically.
Often, he said, test is not run on
a dead or badly injured driver and
in such cases intoxication cannot be
indicated by visual methods. In
other cases, the investigating Off
Ger might not feel that he has suf-
ficient evidence to bring a charge
AS an Illustration, he cited a special
1857 study over the Christmas sea-
son by the National Safety Council
which revealed, after every effort
to determine the facts, that 50 per
cent of the fatal crashes involved
drinking drivers This high per-
centage was borne out by similar

said, they have shown just as

Floor Space For
Rroilers Depends In
Part On Marketing.

The size of broiler to be marketed
may depend upon the season and
it's we'll to keep this in mind when
deciding about the amount Of floor
space in the broilcr house. says d..
A. T. Ringrose. poultry specialist at
VPI.
He saws the market normally
calls for larger and fewer broilers
in fall and winter, and smaller ard
more broilers in spring and sum-
mer In general. the market de-
mand for broiler chickens is larger
during the months from April
through September than from Sep
TENDER through April. The market
demand for broilers is only about
so per cent Of normal for the
months Of November and Deem
Der. while il Is about 40 per cent
above normal from April through
September.
Dr.. Ringrose also calls attention
to recommendations for broiler
marEetings to Be CIT back for No
yember and December this year n
view Of the overproduction of
broilers during the fall of 1858 and
the first half Of 1850, with subse-
quent low prices, broiler placements
for marketing this November and
December must be reduced to get
anywhere near satisfactory price
during these months, Dr. Rmgrose
savs. The bro.ler supply and mar
ket prices during recent months
have indicated that broilers have
been oVerproduced to the extent of
ABOUT six per cent.
