NOT CAUSED az PARIS GREEN.
Chemist Can Find No Trace Of Poison
On Cabbage.


Ames. Jan. 4.--Despite the state
ments made in the public press that
Thomas J. Stringer and his wife OF
Roone died from poisoning caused by
eating cabbage treated with Paris
green, there is no truth to the state
ment. This is the verdict of DR.. c. c.
Fowler Of the chemistry department OF
Iowa State College, after an exhaustive
study Of cabbage from the Stringer
garden.
DR.. Fowler obtained practically every
head of cabbage left in the garden and
examined both the outer and inner
leaves without finding a trace of poi
son. He fed an old rabbit for weeks
on the cabbage and the rabbit is stilf
alive. He fed pen Of delicate white
mice on it and they are still in a thriv-
ing condition.
"The use Of paris green for killing
cabbage worms has been the common
practice for many years and so far as
known absolutely no injury has ever
been done to people eating the cab
bage," says c. L. Fitch, extension veg
etable gardener of the college.
Cabbage worms destroyed >nearly
every head Of late cabbage in nearly
every garden in Iowa the past fall ana
no doubt in other states. The loss IN
the country often runs into millions
and in Iowa into hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. This year there was
a big crop in sight, but the worms ate
it. Now the price is high. Paris green
Is the remedy that will save our cab
bage losses"

heavy wagons which are employed to
haul supplies far out into the river to

has caused some degree Of anxiety as
