Pennsylvania in 1950
The State afficials also flew

wealth to locate gypsy moth

the year 230,000 acres of land m
three Pennsylvania counties
were sprayed with DDT to check
the destructive gypsy moth.
Henning lauded State and
Federal workers for the parts

Oats harvested as silage pro
duced 48 per cent more total di
gestible nutrients (TDN) an acie
than did oats for grain in 1956
University of Minnesota research
Oats as silage averaged' 2,374
pounds of TDN an acre, while oats
put in the grain bin averaged only
1,600 pounds of TDN The in

was equal to 17 bushels of corn

Sorghums Can Be
Poisonous
Johnsongrass and sudangrass 1
are among plants which some--
times cause livestock poisoning,
says Dr. M. W. Oburn, extension
veterinarian at Kansas State Col
lege in Manhattan. Sorghums
grown under ordinary conditions
are considered good feed, but
when normal growth has been
interrupted by drought, frost,
tiamphng or other cause, hydro
cyanic acid may develop to a
point where it becomes toxic.
The amount of acid varies con
siderably according to conditions
and varieties. Young and second
growth plants can develop larger
amounts than older plants. The
amount of hydrocyanic acid dim
inishes more or less regularly as
the plant matures. The stubble
that sprouts after harvest is high
in acid also, says Dr. Osburn.
