STOCK-POISONING PLANTS IN THE
GENERAL VICINITY
Lupine-poisoning:
Probably the greatest source of
trouble in this area is due to this
form of plant poisoning.
The Lupine is a very easy plant
to identify. The leaflets radiate out
ward from a common center, some
what like the fingers of your hand,
and it has flowers and pods similar
to those of the common pea. The
leaves are quite distinctive from
those of the loco weed. Only one
plant in the north end of the county
might be confused with lupine and
that is Psoralea, which has the same
sort of leaves. The flowers, how
ever, are very small and develop no
pods.
The lupines are sometimes referred
to by other names such as wild pea,
blue pea, wild bean, blue bean, In
dian bean, old maid's bonnet, quack
er's bonnet and sun-dial.
The plant ocupies various habitats,
and may be found almost any place
in this general vicinity (usually in
relatively moist soils, however), in
some places constituting thick
stands. Whether just some or all of
these plants are poisonous here is
yet to be discovered.
Lupine, contrary to some belief,
can be poisonous in early spring as
well as after the pods have devel
oped. The parts of the plant are
probably poisonous in the following
order: seeds, fruits (containing
seeds), pods, and leaves. Conse
quently poisoning by lupine may
occur at almost any time of the year.
Sometimes sheep have been poisoned
by eating as little of 1 of their
own weight in lupine. After a snow
storm 1150 sheep died as a result of
lupine-poisoning out of a band of
1500. It is probable that lupine is
most poisonous after the develop
ment of the pods, but it should never
be disregarded at any time of year;
the leaves of young plants early in
the spring as well as those late in the
season after much of the seed has
been cast can and do cause stock
poisoning. Lupine-poisoning is primarily a
sheep affliction, although cattle and
horses sometimes suffer slight loss
es. One variety of "grassland lupine,"
however, causes greater damage
among cattle than sheep, the symp
toms of the poisoning resembling
those of larkspur-poisoning; this of
course has led to considerable con
fusion. Since the poison is not cumulative
animals may graze continually on
the plants with no bad effects un
less, at any one time, the toxic limit
is reached. In this regard, great care
should be taken with hay to see that
it is practically free of lupine, es
pecially when the latter is in fruit.
It must be remembered that the
amount of poison necessary to bring
on symptoms of poisoning is so close
to the amount that will kill the ani
mal that it is difficult to notice any
definite symptom in time ti apply
aid.
Animals with developed symp
toms (a day may elapse between the
eating of a toxic amount and the
symptoms of poisoning) become
crazed, and characteristically butt
into any obstacle in their way. Their
gait is irregular and staggering.
Spasms and falling fits, accompan
ied by frothing of the mouth, are
common symptoms. The flow of
urine is always definitely increased,
and it may contain blood.
Sometimes, when the symptoms
are less violent, the poisoned ani
mals may not die until several days
after the "disease" was contracted.
Other symptoms might be men
tioned such as nervousness and a
show of excitement, weakness and
trembling (especially in cattle),
drooping ears, and partial paralysis.
Sometimes sheep become dulled and
go into a deep sleep from which
they never awaken. In most cases
death comes after violent convul
sions accompanied by labored
breathing.
Post-mortem examinations show,
as in loco poisoning, a congestion of
the membrances of the brain and
lungs, with the rupturing of small
blood vessels.
To date there are no effective rem
edies for this poisoning. Bicarbon
ate of soda given immediately upon
the first show of symptoms may pos
sibly do some good if administered
promptly. Such a method might be
used in trying to save a valuable!
OF HEPPNER
animal, but it is not practical for
common sheep. The value of bleed
ing is not supported by scientific
evidence.
The prevention of losses by avoid
ing the 14 points already mentioned
is the only sure way to avoid stock
losses. Eradication of the plant is
usually impractical. The plant prob
ably does its most effective damage
early in the spring and after pod
development. Especially on over
grazed areas it should be remem
bered that the plant produces more
fruit in wet years than it does in
dry years.

Protected Range Benefits
The Dalles The practical value of
controlled grazing to permit natural
reseeding of range land is shown in
tests recently made on the Warm
Springs Indian reservation 60 miles
south of here by the Soil Conserva
tion service. Where test areas of de
pleted range land were protected
during the growing season, as many
as 25 new plants were found grow
ing from seed produced by a single
mature plant. On adjacent grazed
areas, no new plants were found.
The SCS believes that the best long
time practice is to graze only a por
tion of the range land each year dur
ing the growing season.
