B—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. October 28.1967 Beware Of Prussic Acid, Plastow Says If you have any sudan sorg hum hybrid, a word of caution Is necessary at this time of year according to Victor Plas tow, Associate County Agent. Because, if it is frost ?d it be comes very poisonous due lo the high concentration of prus sic acid within the stalk. “The safest place to put this forage after a killing frost would be in the silo.” Plastow said. "After a few weeks fer mentation, this roughage will be perfectly safe lo feed.” “If by unfortunate experience an animal should get a few mouthfuls and become critically affected from this poisonous acid, call the veterinarian im mediately and he may be able to save the animal, if he arrives promptly,” he said. Plastow also cautioned all dairymen concerning the pre sence of silo gas within the silo. “If for any reason you may think there is a possibility of gas, never go into the silo until you may be able to circulate or air out the silo before entering,” the associate agent said. • Form Calendar (Continued from Page 1) Thursday, November 2 100 pm.—DHIA Supervisors meet, Jacob Houser Jr., Lam peter. 6 30 pm —4-H Honey Round up, Ralph Camber’s Honey _ House, 911 State St., Lane. 730 pm —Honey Producers meet, Camber’s. 730 pm —Ephrata Adult Farmeis, School Ag Room 730 pm —Solanco Young Farmers meet, Grant H.
