Show Drouth Causes Death. Acting Secretary of Agriculture Willet M. Hays gives out results of the department's investigation into the causes of the disease which has proved so fatal to horses in western Kansas. The trouble is a form of forage poisoning due to drought and to short feed in pastures. The disease is not contagious and no effort to stamp it out will be necessary, as many horses recover when removed from dried pastures to feed lots with abundant supplies of green alfalfa or other green feed. The department will continue the Investigation of the conditions and desires information as to all localities where the disease exists or may put in its appearance. |
