Rooney, County Extension Agent Cane and Sudan Grass Poisoning Dr. L. Van Es, of the University of Nebraska Agricultural College sends the following words of warn ing to Nebraska live stock men: Attention is called to the fact that within the last few weeks, the pois oning of cattle in sorghum and Su dan grass pastures has been rather frequent occurrence. When these for age plants have their growth and de velopment arrested by such adverse conditions as drouth, frost or by be ing injured and trampled upon in the course of grazing, they are apt to form prussic acid in quantities suffi cient to kill animals. Owing to the wry poisoning character of this sub stance, the animals which consume a fatal dose succumb suddenly and there is little or nothing to be ex pected from the medical treatment of such animals. The hazard which ac companies the turning of animals, cattle in particular, into sorghum or sudan pastures at this time, should induce farmers to proceed with cau tion. If this forage must be used, it is therefore prudent to try out the safety of the pasture by admitting one or more animals of inferior value before risking a more valuable herd. In the event that nothing happens to the trial animals within a week or two the pasture may be utilized with a relative, although not with abso lute safety. Pastures under suspi cion of being unsafe should be cut, in the hope that favorable growing conditions may bring forth a safe forage. The cut forage may be util ized as hay. Even the latter may not be safe and its feeding should be postponed as long as possible. It also should be fed to a few animals in order to test its safety before ex posing a large number of valuable stock to a possible danger. ( ontrol of Melon Aphis or Plant Lice The melon aphis or plant lice seem to be doing considerable damage to .cucumber and melon vines. These aphis may be controlled by spraying with nicotine sulphate, which usual ly sells under the name of “Blackleaf 40.” Complete directions for use come with this poison. Another method of control is spraying with 6 to 9 parts of kerosene emulsion. Ker osene emulsion may be made at home by heating one-half pound of hard soap or one quart of soft soap in one gallon of water until the soap is dis solved. Remove from fire and add gradually two gallons of kerosene, stirring constantly. Thoroughly mix by pumping back and forth with a f >ray pump until a creamy emulsion i» produced. This is then diluted with fi to 9 parts of water. The melon aphid is a sucking insect which works on the under side of the leaves and is killed by direct contact with a poison. It is necessary in applying the sprays that the solution is forced onto the bodies of the aphis. This can be accomplished by using a force sprayer or by turning the vines over so as to get the solution on the un der side!' of the leaves. Accessories for the House Holt county club women are going to learn more about accessories for the house next fall and winter through the club project. Miss Hel en Rocke of the Agricultural College will conduct the accessories for the house project here this year. The project is devised for club women in giving suggestions on the selection of making table linens, bedding, cur tains, spreads, and other accessories necessary to the comfortable home. The women will also learn about the qualities of various textiles. The first leader training meeting of the year will be given in September. Miss Rocke will explain the program for the year.
