First of all, I wish to thank you for the book on Painting Farm Buildings and Equipment. I did not see the article in the Lubbock on the eocklebur poisoning we were experiencing following our first rains. The story as it was given to a local re porter for a weekly paper in the country was sent in by him. The story as given to him was that eocklebur poison like that of lead poison must be treated by a Veterinarian in the early stag es for any promise of success. You referred me to page 111 of the publication for recommended livestock precautions. Again I wish to thank you for the publication and will be glad to try. to answer any question you might have on our '.seed poison problems. ` Yours truly, Lewis Herron County Agent Post, Texas 0014880 LUBBOCK, TEX.
