WR CALCIUM ARISENATE DEATH TO WEEVIL Secretary of Agriculture Meredith Optimistle Over Fight Against Cot. ton Pest. Columbia, March 25.-An increased inroduction of calcium arsenate will make it possible for farmers to wage swar against the boll weevil this year on a greater scale, Secretary of Agri culture Meredith told the members of the South Carolina branch of the American Cotton Association in an ad dress here today. The eradication of the peat will be hindered, however, he said by an inadequate supply of dust ing machines, bu't added that manufac turers were increasing the output of -the machines and that "in no great while the supply will probably be suf ficient to meet the needs." Regarding efforts of the department of agriculture is making to confine the pink boll weevile to the infested areas in Louisiana and Texas, he as serted the department's willingness to place a federal quarantine. "Every body interested in cotton ought to realize, however, he said, "that the thing must be done now or not at all. Extermination is possible only at the beg-inning of infestat4on, when the insect occupies only very restrict ed areas. Unless the opink boll worm is exterminated now-- and it cannot be exterminated except by absolute cooperation of the states concerned it will sweep over the entdre cotton belt and will inevitably inflict much greater damage than the boll weevil has done." MAr. Meredith said the test of cal cluln arsenate as a poison that would eliminate the ordinary boll weevil was tried last year on an abandoned farm. "The department divided the field into three strips," he said. "The unpois oned strip on one side produced 48 pounds of cotton, the strip on the other side produced 60 pounds and the strip dow nthe middle where the rink ing -water was 'poisoned, produced 480 pounds of cotton." More than 9,000 acres of cotton land in eastern Texas were cleared of. cot ton plants and even the bolls and leaves, the secretary told the mem bers of the association, in order to check the spread of the pink holl worni. Since then the same tactics were used in the Pecos valley and the Great Bend district, and non-cotton and regulated zones established in the infested areas and buffer strips beyond them and also along certain portions of the Mexican border to prevent In festa'tion from Mexico. "Fumigation houses twere establish ed at points of entry all along the Rio Grande," Mr. Meredith said, "and every carrier that crosses the line from a freight car that may be fouled with cotton to a Alexican tramp with a possible handful of cottonseed in his Pocket or wrapped up in his bundle, is cleaned and disinfected before be ing allowed to enter the United States." Quoting from a prellminary report, the secrtetary gave some of the fig tires on the cost of cotton production. Nobody has known just howv much it has Cost to l)roduce c'otton,'' he asid. "The departmtent of atgriculture under took to find out. The oilce of Farm management b'egan a ser'ies of s tud ies in the cost of producing~ cotton underl~t Ivariyinug cond it ion.s. ''The wvork hu ju tst beeni comnpletedi andl~ the( pr'l imo inary repor0t sho()ws that for the 1918S ('ro0p thle cost var t'ied fomt $.08 to $ 1.: Per' pound1(. It is interst'Cting 10tonote that S.5 per cent of the( cotton Ott the farmis sItudied, reptresentitng 4& per' cent of thte prtodu~crs, was grown at a cost of 28 cents a spountd or less. The aver'age cost of production was 23 cents a pound1(. The aver'age s4elIling pri1ce was 29 cents and even at this price one four'th of the farmters prio dluced their cotton at a loss. Owing to reduced yield~ and1( increased 'wages the cost of produtcintg thte 191 eropi0j has been considlcerably largetr.'" Hi ht(st Levlls Wlere Riegisteired I'Tes dayl W~h1 i Thursdayt Saw Lo)west Prices, New Or'leans, 'March 28-The range of prices 11n the cotton market last week catrried the active months over Ill to 135 points, highest levels -he ing reached Tuesday andl lowest levels on Thutrsday. The close showed net gains for the week of 17 to 50 points. May closed at 37.52 and October at 31.87, while middling spots closed at -40.25, showing a net loss on the gradle of 75 points. The market (isplayed a tendency to get away from outtsideo influmences and to pay more attention to matters more 'intimately connectedi withl cot ton itself and this disposition was well illustrated by the in~ ifference display edI on several ses9si1 s to news from Germany. The idea 'ack of this wtas t~he qutestion of the size of the crop about to go into the ground is more important to the trade than most out sidle matters bcause of the growing reouir'ements of the woril a it emnetr. es from war conditions and the steady shrinkage in the carry-over from past crops. Toward the end of the week the strong riso In the rate of sterling exchafige and the report of larger shipments of gold probably from Lon don to thiAk side caused a fairly strong advance. , The Comer bill, now before con gress, requiring that tenders of cotton shall consist of at least fifty per cent of cotton grading above middling, caused a stir in the trad6 and for a w'bile led to liquidation. ,During this week developments in Washington In this direction are like ly- to affect the market one way or the other and legislative -and weather news wlll~probably furnish the motor power for'-nost of the swings.
