Sorghums Capable Of Poisoning Stock All sorghums are capable of producing enough prussic acid to cause death of livestock when pastured under certain conditions of growth. Cattle and sheep should not be fed sorg hum when conditions are favor able for the development of prussic acid. Frosted sorghums is particularly dangerous to feed. Thorough curing as hay, dry fodder or silage will reduce the poisonous property. Under these conditions there is no danger from prussic acid poisoning in sorghum silage. The time it takes for silage to ferment will de pend on the stage of maturity of the sorghum moisture con tent, how Closely packed, and ( other factors. . braska City. !

Chairman (Continued from Page 1) out of the rnarxet." Lockwood went on to say that "motorists in Nebraska are now paying a 39 percent sales tax on gasoline a 'luxury' tax rate on a x pro duct which certainly is no lux ury." Commenting on the need for protection of highway funds, Lockwood declared that "Ne braska, through the years, has diverted more than $26 million of its highway user revenue to non-highway use at a cost of hundreds of .miles of new or im proved highways." He pointed out that "Twenty-four other states now have constitutional provisions banning this practice and so should we." Attacking the federal gasoline tax, the speaker declared: "The federal gasoline tax was im posed in 1932 as a 'temporary' emergency measure, which now costs Nebraska motorists about $9 million a year." "Nebraska's counties receive a large share of state highway user revenue" Lockwo'od pointed out. "In all fairness, the coun ties should use part of this mon ey to match available federal grants for county roads and not expect the state to build their county roads for them." "We are glad to act as tax collectors for the state." de clared the speaker, "because we ! . . A J . 11 A. - believe tne state gasoune iax represents a sound method of obtaining revenue to provide and maintain highway transporta tion iaciiiues oetween ia.nu anu factory. An adequate network of highways is necessary for full development of commerce, in dustry and agriculture in our state. But we join hands with other highway users in seeking equitable taxation on highway transportation."
