PARIS GREEN ON TOBACCO.
Fens TE
was
WN. C. AaricutuRAL EXPERIMENT
STATION.
RaLucu, N.C., Feb. 9th, 1897.
Q. L. Joyner, Greenville, N. C.
Dear Sin:"There is a growing
practice in North Corolina and in other
states, notably Kentucky, whereby
Paris green is used to spray Or dust
growing tobacco to destroy horn worm,
bud worm and flea beetle. This Paris
green, as you know, contains arseni¢
which is poisonous in sufficient doses.
The strength of the solution for spray~
ing is about four ounces of Paris green
to a barrel, or 50 gallons of water, and
the application of spray is about three
times during the season. The question
naturally arises whether this use of
Paris green will be detrimental to the
future sale and use of the tobacco.
Sg re a
The quanity of arsenic which has
veri ascertained to exist on the tobacco
Jeat, as determined by the Kentucky
Experiment Station, varies from a trace
up to 0.287 grains of white arsenic per
pound of dry tobacco leaf, with the moat
favorable conditions for the retenuon of
Paris green upon the leaf. ~The mini-
mum fatal dose is about 2 to 24 eruins
of arsenic taken at one time. Applied
to the quanity.of tobucco mentioned, it
would take about seyen pounts of
tobacco. leaf - swallowed «t one time in
order to produce a possible tatal dose.
To swallow this quanity 1s out of the
question and it seems impvssible for an
objectionable dose to be taken into the
system, a8 tobacco chewers are not in
the habit of swallowing the small
amount of tobacco they use. 7
Whether the continued use of this
tabaseo with che largest amount of
arsenic noted above would resul: in any
objectionable effect isa different ques"
tion, If is not reasonable, however, to
suppose, under the cundifione, that this
could be possible. Arsenic itself is
given asa medicinal dose in soma sec"
tions, especially tor malarial diseases
and usea_as a tonic. It is possible,
~therefore, that the small (it any at all)
that might be detained uncer the most
favorable circumstances instead of prov-
ing objectionable might prove advanta"
geous to the healtL of the. chewer. In
Kentucky, where the practice of spray-
ing tobacco in this way is followed,
many grow.rs do not hesitate to chew
their own tobacco sprayed in this way
and no harmful results have ever been
noted.
Spraying as above to\destroy the
~worms named is a very effective remedy
and would result in their destruction
obefore the leaf is ragged, and a conse~
quent matketing of a better grade and
more even leaf, The main qnestion,
~ Rowever, ~is: Whether the consumers of
sobo:c0, whether by chewing or smok-
| ng, would be apt to be deterred from
| ising this tobaocd, even though there is
he no harm whatever that might come
~from ~ite ~ Oftentimes scares, although
_ they»may be senseless, have quite ma
terially affected the sale of crude pro-
@ucts. This has been notably the case

[write you ut length and will ask
you to kindly write me your opinion
=|npon the subject as to~whether the
process of tobacco: treated in this way
would be affected in the market. Kindly
consider the question not only froma
warehousemanTs standpoint, but ~trom
the users and the dealers standpoint.
The matter isa very important one
and I will think you to write me as
soon as possible.
Very respectfully,
H. B. Barrie, Director,
_ The above communication from Dr.
Battle, Director of the N. C. Experi-
Station will be read with great interest
by all tobacco farmers,
If any practically harmless means
can be used by which the flea beetle
can be sucsesstully destroyed, leaving
the bud and horn worm out of the
question, we canTt see why any sensible
person should make any objection to it,
though there always skeptics and wise
men (more of the latter class) who
grasp such opportunities as the above to
bring themselves into prominence, not
being able to do itin any o tlery.
As a matter of course if~ there is uny
lawful reason why Paris green should
not be used on tobacco then it ought to
be known, but practically speaking it
has been clearly demonstrated that
there can be no harmful results from
its use andif by its use thes: most
dangerous pests cau be destroyed then
the farmers certainly ought to be in
possession of all the information on the
subject, for the flea beetle alove cost
the farmers annually thousands of dol-
lars, in that there is no means by which
they can be destroyed and they really
do tobacco more harm than the other
two combined, for they gather upon the
leaves and suck the substance, leaving
nothing but a chaffy, fibrcus substance
that is neither wanted by the buyer nor
weighs anything for the farmers.
ltemove these three pests of the to-
bacco plant and the eye sore of tobacco
It will be
more trouble to cultivate a croup of to-
bacco with these out of the way than
it will acrop of cotton and ifthey can
be gotten rid of the value of the tobac-
growing 18. gone. ho
co plant will be far greater than it is at
present. 0. L. J.
