Tips on Spotting
Poison Ivy# Oak
It is a sad thing to disillusion
those who cherish the myth of
their "immunity" to poison ivy
or oak or sumac, but the season
of prevalence of these toxic
plants is fast approaching and
forewarned is forearmed.
Botanical scientists say it is
doubtful than anyone is absolute-
ly immune to their poisonous
substance. More and more auth-
orities agree that susceptibility
is a mere matter of degree,
varying with the condition of the
individual, the condition of the
plant, and the circumstances of
exposure.
Texas has its fair share of the
100-plus plants and plant pro-
ducts known to be capable of
causing sometimes severe skin
irritations. Among them are the
parsnip, lady-slipper, cultivated
primrose (especially when in
flower), lily bulbs and stalks,
stinging nettle and vanilla beans.
But by far the most common
of plan dermatitis in Texas and
elsewhere in the United States
is poison ivy, known to botanists
by the tongue-twisting name of
Rhus toxicodendron. A cousin—
poison sumac, by name—is com-
mon to the swampy regions of
eastern Texas, and can some-
times produce severe reactions.
For a 11 practical purposes,
poison ivy and poison oak are
the same thing. Poison oak is
simply any poison ivy that grows
as a bush rather than a vine.
Poison ivy is an unusually in-
consistent species of plant. Be-
sides growing as a bush and a
vine, the size of its berries and
the outline of its leaves often
vary widely. Its leaves are
characteristically egg-shaped and
pointed, but the edges may be
smooth and unbroken or saw-
toothed. Moreover, these varia-
tions might occur on a single
plant, or the leaves on an entire
plant may be similar.
But in one matter, poison ivy
is almost invariably consistent—
its leaves practically always
grow in clusters of three.
Thus ivy poisoning is best
prevented by learning to recog-
nize the plant and avoiding it.
And, of course, it is always pru-
dent to wear protective clothing
such as leggings and gloves when
going into areas where poison
plants are known to flourish.
Once exposed, immediate wash-
ing with laundry soap and water
helps to remove the resin.
As a final word of caution:
Never burn poison ivy vines!
The smoke can be just as ven-
omous as the leaves.
DEMONSTRATIONS ON
SHOWMANSHIP GIVEN
FOR 4-H HORSE CLUB
Despite the mud from a very
welcome rain, fifty-five people
saw and heard Leslie Combs,
noted horseman from Nocona, as
he gave live demonstrations on
horsemanship and showmanship
Saturday P.M. at the second 1963
meeting of the Montague County
4-H Horse Club. Using Joe, a
ranch style Palimeno horse be-
longing to Mrs. Pete Cook, Saint
Jo, Mr. Combs gave many fine
but simple points on the art of
care, training and special groom-
ing to show. Joe is the wise horse
that Dayle Cook won a first
place at a show in 1952, her first
appearance. The horse seemed
to enjoy the demonstrations by
Mr. Combs. Several other horses
were present.
Club President Lonnie Mc-
Gaughy, Secretary Bert Simpson
and Program Chairman Alice
McGaughy, presided at the meet-
ing, with Mrs. Reba Stanfield,
H. D. Agent, making announce-
ments for future meetings. The
third and last educational meet-
ing of the Club for 1963 will be
held May 25 at the Nocona rodeo
grounds. Concessions are to be
available for all future out-door
events.
Those present were Mr. and
Mrs. B. B. Simpson, Bert, Jack.
Riley and Melinda, and Leslie
Combs, Nocona; Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Staley, Joe, Jr., Phil and
Gil, Mr. and Mrs. Grady Fen-
oglio and Duwayne, Ringgold;
Mr. and Mrs. Pete Cook and
