Isolation of locoine poisons from loco weed described
The article details Dr Fraps’s work isolating locoine the poisonous principle of loco weed. The process requires animal testing over months with cats proving responsive, while rabbits and livestock show less reaction. Locoine salts such as tartrate oxalate citrate and chloride are prepared. The loco weed spans the United States from the Rock Mountains to the Mexican border, including parts of Texas, posing a risk to livestock. The discovery may aid in developing control methods but will need further analysis.

Loco Weed Poisoning in Cattle and Horses Studied
Dr. Mathews reports on loco weed toxicity with trials at the Alpine laboratory. Findings show dry plant equally poisonous as green, horses more susceptible than cattle sheep or goats, abortions in cattle, and partial body-weight thresholds for symptoms and death. Concentrates reduce locoism and the toxin is not excreted in milk. Texas Station Bulletin No. 456 details symptoms and plant description.
