Poison Plants May Be
Killing: N. €. Livestock
Poisonous plants may have been
responsible for some of the recent
cattle losses in North Carolina, pas
ture and livestock specialists at State
College revealed this week.
On at least one. eastern Carolina
farm where several cattle had been|
lost, Sam Dobson, extension pastures
specialist, found wild cherry bushes
that “had been grazed as high as the
animals could reach.” Wild cherry
is known to be poisonous, says Dob
son, especially the wilted leaves. While
there was no positive evidence that
these animals died from poisoning, the
circumstances pointed to that con
clusion.
“Animals with certain deficiencies
develop a depraved or abnormal appe
tite,” says J. Clark Osborne, veteri
narian with the Experiment Station.
Such animals may chew on objects and
eat plants which they normally would
refuse.”

jin the State, only about 50 or 60 are
'considered poisonous to livestock.
L About ten of these are responsible for
! I most'of the losses. They are: white
; snakeroot, lambkill kalmia, mountain
laurel, black (wild) cherry, common
i chokecherry, spotted water-hemlock,
Carolina jassamine, yellow buckeye,
, crow poison and pink deathcamas.
1 1 These plants are listed and described
i in Experiment Station Bulletin No.
i 342, “Stock Poisoning Plants in North
i Carolina.” The specialists urge all
' livestock farmers to secure a copy of
■ this bulletin from their county agent.
:If there is any question, farmers
.should send specimens of suspicious
j plants to the Botany Department,
North Carolina State College, Raleigh,
for correct identification.
Any plants identified as poisonous
should be removed from the pastures,
■ fence rows, and all places within reach
■ of grazing animals.

Something can be done about the'
summer heat other than moving to
the mountains or the seashore, out
standing decorators state.
It seems that color plays a large
part in achieving a cool, summery
effect. Greens, toned with yellow,
light pastels and white' are good. On
the darker side, wine is first choice.
Neatness and absence of clutter are
very important. Store all unnecessary i
bric-a-brics, rugs and heavy drapes.
Keep excess papers and magazines •;
cleared away.
Use the sheerest possible cottons
and linens for table decor. Starch j
these lightly so they will be smooth,
and cool looking, giving an unwilted I

jappearance. Use light-weight dishes'
and frost-finished glasses. It’s best
not to overload the table. A single
{blossom in clear water will be more
effective than a great mass of blooms.
Attractive summer doilies can be
made easily from plain cotton inex
pensive remnants. Organdies, starched
voile and sheer linen can also be fash
ioned into beautiful doilies, napkins
and cloths. For porch or garden use,
try checks, plaids or large bold prints.
Crocheted doilies are cool and frosty
looking and are a big favorite. White
and off-white are the most popular
shades. When starched, they will
make as attractive a table as it is
possible to get. Napkins to match
may be made of cotton or linen.
Cold meals are grand on a warm
j day and much more pleasing to eat as
