WORST COTTON FOE
FACES DOOM IN 1924
Conference Pledges Check on
Wecvil Ravages in Two
Summers.

The United States faces for 1875 the
most serioUs cotton crop shortage IN the
history of the country. Hope or check
ing next year the spreading devasta-
ticns OF the boil weevil, which destroyed
more than half of the cotton planted
in America last spring, went glimmerins
yesterday at a conference among Gov
ernment officials. insecticide manutac-
turers and arsenic producers in the Ho-
tel Astor- Relief. however. was prom
ised for the situation in 1924
The conference resulted from resolu-
tions offered in both houses OF Congress
calling for Investigations of the reported
shortage and high prices of arsenic and
calcium arsenate. The latter is said by
Government experts to be the only prsc-
teal control Of the boil weevil. Arsenic
forms 40 per cent. OF its composition.
Alarmed. at the increasing rsvaGes OF
the insect threatening Americas su-
premacy IN cotton If means are not
found within the next year or two. for
supplying the needed arsenic. Congress
commanded the departments of Com
merce and Agriculture and the Geologi-
cal Survey to arrange the conference.
Officers of the largest arsenic producing
firms and insecticide plants were asked
10 attend.
The Government was represented by
DR.. s. r. Coad, chief of the Departme mt
of Agriculture laboratory at Tallulah,
Ala. G. +, Loughlin, geologist in charge
of the division of mineral|rcsources of
the Geological Survey: G. r. De Long.
head OF the dye and chemical section of
the Tariff Commission. and DIR. J. X.
Haywood. chairman of the Federal In
secticde Board.
According to producers a. world short
| age of arsenic is due. largely to past in
sta bilty. Of the market They declared
1t impossible, to increase the supply in
the next six months In sufficient quan-
titles to meet moro than 50 per cent. of
the demand of Southern farmers willing
to pay 3. high price.
At prevailing prices of arsenic the
cost of calcium arsenate to the farmer
next year will be about eighteen cents
a pound. insecticide manufacturers said.
Last year it sold to cotton planters at
nine cents. The manufacturers sptici-
