Arsenate of lead
for tobacco hornworm
llP ?
Government Experiments Prove That
it is More Efficient Than Paris
Green and Will not Burn
The Crop.
Washington, I). C., June 24th,?
Tobacco growers in Kentucky. Tennessee
and adjoining States are adv'sod
by Government Specialists to 1
use arsoni i < f lead in freeing their
^. roi) of hr mvovros?the greatest pest

tod hates Depart rent of Agriculture.
.makes its' use advisable despite the
^Jrtuncwhat increased expense. Tn ad*
Oition it appears, unlike Paris green,
to have no injurious elfoct upon the
operator.
Until recent years it was customcry
to pick off the hornworms by
?"hand worming" as the work was
^called. As labor gr?w scarcer and
less effective, however, this method
became too expensive and growers
were compelled to employ an insecticide.
Of those first employed, Paris
green proved the most satisfactory
?or rather the least unsatisfactory
for it frequently causes considerable
<Cfrss. In 1912, for example, in several
fields in Tennessee it was estimated
that the damage done by Paris green
ranged from 10 to 25 per cent of the
gross value of the crop. Exceptional
cases are on record where the damage
amount of work for not more than $2
has run as high as 50 per cent. Arsefjate
of lead causes none of this damge,
hccording to statements in Farmers'
Bulletin 595, "Arsenate of Lead
as an Insecticide Against the Tobac
co Hovnworms in the Dark-Tobacco
Districts," just published by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. On
one occasion four acres of Kentucky
{b-bacco were treated with an application
of 5 1-4 pounds per acre of
powdered arsenate of lead at a time
when the worms averaged two a
plant. Two days later only four live
worms could be found in the entire
field. Weather conditions undoubtedly
contributed to establish this extraordinary
result, but they do not account
for the fact that there was no
J in jury to the tobacco from poison
burn. The crop was well advanced at
a stage when Paris green burn is
very common.
To secure the best results, arsenate
cflJcad should be mixed with some
form of carrier. A number of experiments
indicate that the most satisfactory
carrier is finely-sifted, freshlyburned
wood ashes of which a quantity
at least equal to that of the poison
should be used. The two should
be mixed very thoroughly and then
J^bplied when there is no breeze and
the dew is still upon the tobacco. A
dust gun more powerful than the hand
power ones now in general use is
requisite if the application is to be
even, thorough and therefore effcc(ive.
\fi'i 10 cost of this treatment depends,
of course, upon the condition of the
< ; (. p. Ti is estimated, however, thai
i:i y v. "Ik n worms are plentiful}
hand worming costs from $0 to $10 :

will range from t:8e to $1.25, or less '
it' the material is purchased in large ;
jflyantities exclusive of the cost of the j
rT*rrier, labor and other factors. This
may seem expensive, but it must be
remembered, the bulletin points out,
that arsenate of lead is recommended
not for its cheapness but because
it is certain not to injure the tobacco.
K In some years one application may be
kJJ^iflieiont; in others two or even three
j Y may be necessary. The number of
|f eggs ami young worms that appear
on the plants will deride this.
Although the arsenate can be applied
as a water spray in the proportion
of three or four pounds to 100
gallons of water, the powdered form |
i the one recommended by the Gov- !
ft ernmont experts. It is important, j
JB moreover, that there should be a
f >vgp percentage of arsenic oxid in |
kg the poi on. In order to obtain this !
It u customer should insist upon what j
i known as the diplunibic and not
the triplumbic form of arsenate of J

It is necessary to have a small percentage
of free or water-soluble arsenic
in order to ensure against burning
the tobacco.

TAKEN FOR ANOTHER MAN.
Set Free From Prison Pending an Investigation
Into the Matter.
A strange tale of how another man
was taken for another and railroaded
into prison is unfolded in the following
dispatch sent out last week, from !
San Francisco under date of June 18.
Shanghaied in Nagaskai, carried in
irons across the Pacific on the United
States transport Sheridan and thrust
into San Quentin penitentiary to serve
three years under a name he could not
pronounce for a crime he never had
heard of, Albert Joahansen, a Scandinavian
sailor, was freed today by
the United States district court.
On June 27 he must appear again,
for the return of a writ of habeas corpus,
application for which was filed
today in his behalf, but in the meantime
ho is free without bail.
The prisoner claims he was drinking
one night in a water front saloon
at Nagaskai. Three strangers offered
to stand for a treat. He accepted.
The next morning he found himself
at sea, a prisoner.
He' tried in vain to explain who he
was but was delivered at San Quentin
as Peter A. Rogers, alias Peter
Grimes, to serve three years for a
sentence imposed by the treaty court
at Shanghai for forgery. His cell mate
chanced to be a fellow countryman
and through him he got a hearing.
Today Joahansen identified Rogers'
nnvt vm.i \ f ?iw <" t ,i 1

had chocks, was caught and convicted, I
and sentenced to three years in San j
Quentin. An officer of the court was J
to have taken him to Nagasaki where j
he was to be placed on the Sheridan.
At that point the facts end and
theory begins. The belief of federal
officers is that Rogers got his guardian
drunk, poured a stupefying drug
into Joahansen's drink and personally
delivered him late at night aboard
the Sheridan, turning over to a petty
officer of the ship the papers he had
stolen from the drunken deputy and
received in person the acknowledgment
for his own delivery.

General Declares it Would Be Foolish
to Wrangle Over Individual
Questions.
Torreon, Mex., June 18.?Gen. Villi
today issued the following statement
regarding his relations with Gen
Carranza:
"I have received today many tele
grams from different newspapers ii
the United States asking what is tlu
matter betwen Gen. Carranza am
myself. 1 already have said througl
the Associated Press that there is
nothing betwen Gen. Carranza am
myself which in any way has alteret
our military policy. I will now g<
even further and say there never wil
be any differences between Gen. Car
ranza and myself that will interfen
with the work of the constitutional
ists.
"It would be folly for any of tin
leaders to impede or in any wa;
hamper the great work, now almos
within reach of our goal. It simpl;
would be madness to wrangle abou
individuals. We will fight the enem;
of our people and his minions unti
we have vanquished them. After tha
has been accomplished you may res
assured all Mexican patriots will di
their duty and shoulder to shoulde
will work for the good of all."
At the headquarters of the divisioi
of the north, it was announced toda;
that there was no foundation for ru
mors that certain civil oflicers ii

been made prisoners. It was sail
that by agrement they had beei
