Is there Danger from the use of Paris
Green

Mr.. Editor AS nearly every farmer ant
gai dener is using more or less Paris Green
il being almost All impossibility TO raise 9
crop OF potatoes without its aid, the question
is often asked whether there may not be somt
injurious effects from its application. The
chemist of the Agricultural Department, Mr.
McMurtrie, has performed series Of accurate
experiments to determine
LIST, Ifapplied TO the soil, can arsenic or ar
senous acid be absorbed and assimilated iu
the economy Of plant growth
End, If absorbed and nssimilated, can il be
taken up 10 sufficient quantities 10 become
prejudicial or injurious 10 the health of con-
sumers2
3rd, If not taken up by the plant during
growth, does il, by its presence in the soil,
exert poisonous influence on the plant it
self?
4th, IF II exerts O poisonous influence on
the plant, to what extent may it exist in the
soil before it becomes injurious?
lie proves conclusively that there is no ros-
sibilily Of the accumulation of arsenic in
quantities sufficient to be dangerous by regu-
lar applications of what is needed for the de-
struciion Of the potato beetle.
All the plants experimental upon were ex-
amined by Marsh's test, which failed in ev-
cry case 10 show trace Of arsenic. He also
examined potatoes which had been subjected
10 applications of Paris Green, and failed in
every case 10 detect the presence of arsenic
He concludes bis article as follows, viz
"With these facts before us, we must con-
clude that plants have not the power to absorb
and assimilaie from the soil compounds of ar
senic, and that though arsenical compounds
exert an injurious influence upon vegetation,
yet this is wilhou: effect until the quantity
present reaches, for Paris Green about 900 lbs.
per acre, and for arsenie of potassa about 400
lbs. per acre, and for aiseniale of potassa
about | so lbs. per acre"
1t will be seen from the foregoing that we
can use Paris Green (arsenite of copper)
detriment 10 the plant or TO the soil.
Of course the plant should not be trusted to
careless or incompetent persons.
