SOURCES: _http://www.vet.purdue.edu/depts/addl/toxic/navigate.htm_ (http://www.vet.purdue.edu/depts/addl/toxic/navigate.htm) > Folks of Leslie County and surrounding Counties, will soon enjoy the Spring time of the year and shuck off these Cold, Cold Rain days, and accumulations of Ice and snow covered roads, and farm pastures. During these winter days, farmers often depend on summer Hay to feed livestock. Some of the genealogy providers who remember growing up on nearby Elkhorn, Oneida, Greasy Creek, First Creek, McIntosh Creek, Rockhouse Creek, Hell-Fer-Certain, Wooton, Cutshin Creek, and the homelands of Hyden, KY itself, are familiar with the many vegetation weeds, such as Pokberry, Pokweed, Milkweed, Cultivated Oats, or flowering plants such as Easter Lillies, and they have passed on their stories of their parents and grandparents living on these places and themselves having encountered uses of these type plants. (an example is in KY Explorer Vol. 17 #3, June 2002) Glowing musical songs about Poke Salat, or stories of Black Walnuts, St. Johnswort, Pigweed, Dwarf Larkspur (staggerweed), Oats, can all be serious causes of illness or death. How many TV ads have you seen about Oats? It appears that many modern day Leslie County Farmers are fully aware of the dangers depicted on the database at Veternarian's of Purdue University, and their families are protected from these dangers. A human meal of Soup Beans, Potatoes, Cornbread & Onions, Vegatable Salad and great Buttermilk is still a favorite fit for a Queen and King in their households.
