storm ragged and when the old couple
awakened the next morning their eyes
rested upon a desert land of white. The
crops were safely she;;ered but the
market was Haz away.
With a groan of despair the cid man
rose stif1y and dragged himself to the
kitchen to kindle a fire. This done he
took an old shovel and making a patti
as he went, proceeded to the barn. TIE
horses whinnied loudly when he opened
the door. He filled the hangers with
sweet clover hay and tossed into each
box eight perfect ears Of yellow corn.
Six pairs of powerful jaws began to
crunch the food which the old man had
supplied as he drove the milk cows into
the stanchfons. Absent mindedly he
took the big bucket and went to work
and to the picture of homely comfort
was added the musical tinkle OF the
fragrant white stream which rained
down upon the buckets shining bot
tom, Usually this was the old mans
most pleasant task. but this morning
he thought not Of the quantity OF milk
nor Of his pets.
He pictured himself driven away
from the old place which he loved ana
which he had purchased by the ex-
penditure of 80 much time and EFFORT.
He saw the cows and horses sold az
auction and himself and his beloved
wife turned out into the world to ma
a. home. Despairingly he bowed MS
head upon his hands.

What Our Experiment Stations Are Doing.

Thus far very little success has been
met with in fighting leaf eating insects
by mild poisons. Arsenic is dangerous
TO man and animals and it also Injuries
foliage more or less. The first danger
can be avoided by exercising care in
the storing and handling of the poison
The danger to foliage can be mini
imized by using the proper form of
arsenic. Arsenic of lead is always
safe but it is also expensive One
pound of white arsenic will do as
much insect killing as two pounds Of
Paris green, four pounds of dry pow
dered arsenate of lead or eight pounds
of lead arsenate paste, White arsenic
cannot be used by itself as it will kill
the plants to which il is applied. IT is
the base for the preparation of arsen-
ate of soda. Paris green and arsenate
Of lead, These materials are all dis
cussed on this page. For the best
economy use arsenate of soda with
bordeaux mixture for potatoes and
arsenate of lead for fruit trees. There
is no need of using the more expensive
Paris green on potatoes. Arsenate of
lead costs more, but is better for trees
than Paris green. AS it adheres to the
foliage SO much better it is in the end
the more economical of the two.

tin on this subject from which much
of the following is condensed.
Paris green is a definite chemical
compound known to chemists as aceto-
arsenate of copper. 1t is prepared
fFem verdisris tacetate of copper and
arsenious oxide When pure it carries
5S.65 per cent arsenious oxide: 81 %
per cent copper oxide; and 1906 per
cent. acetic acid The value of Paris
green as an insectcide depends upon
the arsenic which it contains in com
bination with copper The presence of
free arsenions acid is harmful as il
burns foliage. The ideal Paris green
would carry maximum amount of
arsenious oxide in combination with
copper; it would have as little as pos
sible of free arsenious acid so as not
To burn the foliage: and it would be in
the finest possible powder in order that
it may readily remain in suspension
when mixed in water and that it may
be more thoroughly distributed over
foliage

of Paris green and there is a constant
temptation to add as great an excess
of arsenious oxide as is possible and
obtain a good color. From the stand
point of an insecticide, the presence of
an excess of arsenious oxide is serious
because it endangers foliage to which
the green is applied. Under the Maine
Insecticide Law a Paris green is adul-
terated if it contains less than 50 per
cent. of arsenious oxide and arsenic in
water soluble forms equivalent To more
than SO per cent arsenious oxide In
1912 the Maine Station collected official
samples of Paris green and with sin
gle exception they all carried an ex
cess of water soluble arsenic.
From the results. Of Investigations
made by several stations in the East it
is found that there is generally Il
shortage of weight and that while as
rule the gross weight of the pack
ages is equal to or slightly in excess of
what is claimed, they fall short in net
weight from 20 10 per cent.--that is
the purchaser usually pays for the
container at the rate of 80 to 81 cents
per pound. Under the insecticide law
Paris green is adulterated If it is
not full weight. In 1912 the Maine law
regulating the sale Of insecticides had
Just become operativ No prosecu-
tions were made for violation of the
law as the local dealers in the goods
were unaware of the difficulties in
weight and composition. In 1919 the
law viii be vigorously enforced. AL
ready some unlawful goods have been
forced out of the State.

AduIterations of Paris Green.

Paris greens have been frequently
examined in different parts of the
country and while there have been oc-
easional samples that have been found
to be adulterated with materials
which do not normally enter into the
composition of the goods. for the most
part, they are free from foreign ad-
mixtures. The most dangerous adul-
teration, If it may be so called is the
presence of an excess of arsenious
oxide. This is the cheapest ingredient

HELD FOR TAPPING
EDISON co.'s WIRES
Two Men Employed in Loft
Building Charged with Steal
ing $4,000 in Current.

Frank Pulver superintendent, and John
Eisermann, chief engineer of the Wolf
Building, at No SIS to 53 West 18th
street. were held yesterday for trial by
Magistrate Deuel. on charges made by the
used $50, 900 worth of its electricity by tap
ping a street conduit.
Edward J. Kenney. chief investigator Of
the Edison Company, was the complain
ing witness He was supported by an afr
davlt Of William J. Casey, Of Oakland
Place. who contended that his investiga.
ton led TO discovery that the wires TO
the building had been tapped az the Edi-
sons main George T. Leach, former
night engineer Of the Wolf Building said
In his affidavit he was instructed by Hugh
Clinton. the former day engineer OF the
building. and bp Frank Pulver the ST.
perintendent, TO connect the building with
the Edison wires.
He asserts further that a printing estab-
lishment in the building used the Edison
current at night. Clinton also submitted
an affidavit in which he claims that the
use of the Edison power without that
company's knowledge was common knowl-
edge to those in charge Of the building
Harris Wolff, one OF the heads Of the
building. explained the overlapping in an
other way. He said that he employed
Frank Pulver, the superintendent and
John Eisermann because ne had satisfied
himself that other men in charge OF the
building at night had Of their own voli-
ton tapped the Edison wires which still
protIuded In the building He said that
by resorting to this device these men were
able 10 dodge the work of providing power
from their plant
Mr.. Harris contends that the amount OF
electricity which the Edison Company
claims was used was not possible, as his
contract called for $500 worth OF power
during year He estimates that not
more than $50 worth could have been
taken during the six months in which he
says the overlapping was going on.
