As to whether Paris green is Sue
cess for the boil weevil or not, is ques-
ton we do not care to reopen. Those
who wish to use it may do so and well
come. 1t is no concern of the writer.
1t is sufficient in this connection to say
that Captain Marston i'll his persistent
advocacy of Paris green, and Paris
green only, has simply been turning the
farmer over to the mercy of few
manufacturers who get together each
spring and set an arbitrary price on
Paris green. We have even been in
formed that the manufacturers defer
setting the price each spring until they
find out What Marston is, going TO do"
The present high price of Paris green
is known to every cotton planter who
has used it the past year. Powdered
arsenate of lead sells at present for only
a little over half what Paris green costs
pound for pound, Tie present quotations
being 22c per lb. There are manufac-
turers of lead arsenate in plenty. Com
petition between them is far too severe
to suggest any likelihood Of a combina-
tion to boost the price, and when the
farmers take enough interest in national
tariff legislation to get the tariff re-
moved from lead arsenate the price will
be lower still. Thank goodness, we are
through with trust prices when it comes
to using arsenical poisons on the farm,
for the powdered arsenate of lead can
be used for every purpose that Paris
green can be adapted to. We will con-
tribute no more to the trusts in pay
