sued by the Federal Experiment Sta
tions or by the. manufacturers Of
calcium arsenate.
IL Is not necessary to repeat, at
this time, the warnings which have
so often been broadcasted throuyh
bulletins, that the profitable use of.
calcium arsenate is based upon such
factors as adequate dusting machin-
cry, thorough and efficient applica-
tion, yields on the basis Of at least a
haif-bale per acre without weevil
damage, and q treatment cost includ-
ing material, labor and depreciation
on machinery not in excess of 100
pounds Of seed cotton. All Of this in
formation may be had, in detail by

We. would emphasize, however, the
necessity of using such fertilizers as
will profitably increase the Yields. so
as to insure the half-bale per acre, or
more, which justifies expense of dust
ing. ~ 80"
But, you are facing q peculiar sit.
uation as regards the supply of CAL
cium arsenate. During the last two
years the manufacturers Of this poi-
son had little or no Indication of the
amount of this material which would
be used. 1t seems that they actually
manufactured more than was con-
sumed, so there was some carry-over.

stroy his income from the middle

similar conditions with sugar, or rice,
or cattle and livestock operators.

The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-08-30

In the meantime, the prices of cal
cium arsenate, as with other products,
were materially reduced, until today
the material is quoted at prices not
only below the cost at which it was
manufactured in previous years, but
at prices which the manufacturers
insist are less than the producing
cost today.
SO far as we can find out, there are
no manufacturers making calcium
arsenate now. That which is avail
able for busting during 1922 will be
drawn from the surplus carry-over of
previous years. That this old product
is just as efficient as fresh material,
is vouched for by the United States
Department Of Agriculture in the
following statement:
Calcium arsenate two years
old is just as effective in poison
ing boil weevil as at the time it
was manufactured The fact that
almost all calcium arsenate now
available for cotton dusting was
manufactured one or two years
age. is causing many farmers to
doubt its present value, and some
to claim that the newly manu-
factured material is superior to
the old because of deterioration.
This is not true, however, for the
calcium arsenate made two years
ago is as good today as it was at
the time of manufacture"
Although we have no accurate
figures on the amount of carry-over,
we anticipate that when the season
actually opens up there will be a de-
mand far in excess of the available
supply. In such case, not only will
some farmers be unable to obtain the
material, but one must expect the
price to soar as the supply becomes
short.
Good judgment would Indicate the
advisability of placing orders for
such calcium arsenate as will be
needed for the 1922 crop--right now,
while the prices are low and the sup
ply available to fill the orders.
This is surely case which demands
deep consideration by any farmer who
plants a single acre of cotton. Let
the impartial, authentic teachings
and instructions issued by the ipves-
tigators of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture be your guide,
and do not let "Your Conscience bo
your Guide" Be not mule.
Do Bankers Want to Help? That
the real prosperity of the entire
country is dependent upon the pros
perity of Agriculture. is a fact not
susceptible of argument. 1t is self
evident that if the farmers in such
communities receives such refenues,
then. in addition to any patriotic or
philosophical motives the banker
has personal reason for supporting
any economically sound movement
for improvement Of agricultural con-
ditions.
We have known men who, besides
having banking anud producer inter-
ests, were also engaged in operating
as middlemen. We can imagine how
