'TO 11 STATEMENT
IS BEORGIt MIS
Warns Against Being Stampeded
Into Buying At High
Prices
TO BE PLENTY OF POISON
Manufacturers Now Resorting
To Propaganda to Boost
Prices, Says Williams
ATLANTA, November 19.
Ira Williams, state entomolo
gist, has issued a statement to
the farmers of Georgia not to
be ‘‘stampeded” into buying cal
cium arsenate at high prices.
Mr. Williams said that there will
be plenty of the poison manu
factured during the coming
year and the indications are
the prices will be lower than last
year.
His statement follows:
“I have just returned from New
York where I have been represent
ing the Georgia Board of Entomo
logy, and made a very thorough
and careful investigation of the
arsenic end calcium arsenate situ
ation in this country.
"The Boaid thinks it only right
that I should give to the public
some of the facts which should be
beneficial. Especially since there
is being carried on in this state a
widespread campaign of propa
ganda designed to influence the
farmers of the state to buy at once
for fear the supply might be ex
hausted and the price go a great
deal higher. While it is true that
the smelters control a larger part of
the white arsenic from which cal
cium arsenate is made, they try to
secure the highest prices possible
for this white arsenic and hold the
prise up unless there comes in from
some source competition, but there
still remains in the United Stat’s
a great deal of arsenic that is not
controlled by the smelters and will
not be controlled by them in the
future.
“The Toulcn Arensic Company
of California, state they will turn
out 300 tons of raw arsenic a
month, beginning January 1, 1924.
The Jardine mines operated by Col
Amasa Peake, of Jardine, Montana,
tum out 100 tons a month. There
is a new company formed in
California which is turning out five
tons of calcium arsenate a day. In

ARSENATE PRICES MAYgBE LOWER NEXT YEI
addition to this the National Gold
Arsenic Corporation, has several
thousand tons ot ore already for
the smelter and arrangements
made for smeltering same. Just
recently according to the Journal
of Commerce, ‘there is an offer of
ten tons per month of Australian
arsenic in the market with the pos
sibility that this quantity can he
materially increased provided the
material has a teady sale. This is
understood not to be a by-product
oi arsenic, but direct product re
fined 99 per cent.’ Tne Journal
of Commerce also makes this state
ment in issue of Monday October
gain: * ’lnquiry tor arensic con
tinues active and prices are rapid
ly advancing in this market. Sellers
i eported that most of the trading
was between dealers on spot and
that single parcels had changed
hands as much as five times during
rne past week. The consumers ot
course, are getting a little ma
terial in, but it is not theiri buying
which is strengthening the hiar
n.et.’
“This kind of trading was the
■ause of the price going up last
year, but is what T wouid call an
niiated demand. If there had not
veen a dozen of buyers for every
ound of calcium arsenate needed
<n the state last year, prices would
not have risen as they did. In ad
dition to having this source of ra v
or white arsenic practically all of
the large manufactuteers nave in
creased their produping capacity
by enlarging their plants. This is
especially true of the Niagara Com
patiy, also the Sherwin-Williams
Company, the Chipman Chemical
Engineering Corporation, and the
Richards Fiver Company.
"I have on my desk a letter from
a German company stating that
their Hamburg plant can put 200
tons of calcium arsenate a month
into this country at a very low
price. The Japansese are getting
over the earthquake arid will begin
shipping raw arsenic immediately
after Chrismas.
‘A bill now before congress re
moving the present 25 per cent
duty on calcium arsenate is almost
sue to pass. Even with the pres
ent tariff in force foreign manu
facturers are competing with Amer
con prices.
“Altogether it looks to me as if
there will be an ample supply of
raw arsenic for all the needs af
ter the first of the year, and
plants for manufacturing the same,
fn fact, there is plenty now.
“The manufacturers"of calcium
arsensate realize this, and in order
to market their product are resort
ing to a campaign of propaganda
in this state and elsewhere to
stamp the farmer into buying
now at b „h prices for fear that he
wil] not be able to obtain the poi
son later. The latest instance- is
a lengthy letter from a manufac
turer of cal; him arsenate printed
in an Atlanta newspaper in which
he declares that the efforts of tins
board to m.u*;tain a fair price for
aisenate is ‘polities’ and should
therefore not be credited. Ke ove“

usleless unless there were some
thing besides ‘politics’ in our ef

would be inclined to credit this
propaganda there is in this same
letter a dead give away to the at

quote as follows: ‘Just where the
belief in the necessity for a ten
cent calcium arose seems difficult
to say’—‘The price the planters
can afford -to pay depends en
tirely upon the price he gets for
his cotton’ In other words, it has
never occurred to the manufactur
er that the farmer is entitled to
make a profit on his cotton. It is
a revealing statement. ‘Gouge the
farmer for all the traffic will bear.
‘‘Representing the farmers of the ■
state we have investigated the
facts. We know that it is not neces
sary for., them to be rushed now im
to buying calcium arsenate.
‘‘lf all the farmers of the state
would use calcium arsenate in the
buds of their cotton before it

"The board is making every ef

CBM ESACK SF SOUTH
CAUSE FOS THIS
Crops Have Been Produced In
Greater Abundance Than
Ever Before
ATLANTA, Nov. 20. This
Thanksgiving should be celebrated
in the fashion that the New Eng
land pioneers observed it; in the
opinion of business leaders here, be
cause, as they point out, here in
the South at least there.is much to
be thankful for.
After a summer of reading about
the devastation of the cotton crop
by the boll weevil and the hard
ships of farming because of exces
sive negro migration, Thanksgiving
is just over the horizon with one
of the most bountiful crops that
Georgia and the South has had in
years, it is asserted.
The cotton crop, in this as in
other Southern states, is estimated
to be greater than it was in 1922.
Other products throughout the
South, such as corn, wheat, oats,
rye, potatoes, tobacco and various
and sundry other things have been
produced in much greater abund
ance than they were last year.
Marvelous Comeback
But any untrained eye can see
that agriculture in the South has
made a marvelous comeback this
year. With diversification as its
principal weapon and industry as
another, it has, as one Atlanta busi
ness man puts it, “taken a terrific
wallop at despondency end all but
delivered the knockout blow.”
Officials of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture say there will
be mere Georgia grown products
on the tables of Georgians at
Thanksgiving dinner this year than
in a decade—and that is something
indeed, the officials show, ,to be
thankful tor. There will not be
it is stated, many turkeys sold to
the farmers out of the stores this
year. The state is actually making
progress toward feeding its people
and its animals, according to agri
culturalists.
'And the farther it goes in that
direction the nearer it approaches
the economic Elysium,” said an of
ficial of the department of-agri
culture. “Perhaps the best motto
for the Thanksgiving is that God
helps those who help themselves.”

The Bridge Builder
An old mah, traveling a lone high
way,
Came at the evening, cold and gray
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight
dim, •
Tlie sullen stream had no fear for
him;
But he turned, when safe on the
other side,
And built a bridge to span the
tide. _
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim
near,
“You are wasting your strength
while building here,
Your journey will end with the
ending day
You never again will pass this w::y.
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and
wide,
Why build you this bridge at even
tide?”
The builder lifted his old gray head,
“Good friend, in the path I have
come,” he said,
“There follows after me today
A youth, whose feet must pass this
way;
This chasm that has been as naught
to me
To that fair-'haried youth may a
pitfail Ibe.
Ke, too, must cross in the twilight
dim,
Good friend, I am building this
bridge for him.”

Jeb For Every Man Who Wants
to Work By Next Winter,
Says Business Expert
ATLANTA. Nov. 20.—There will
be a job for every man who wants
to work next winter, is the confi
dent assertion of Joel Hunter, busi
ness counsellor of Atlanta. More
than that, he believes that the next
few months will be'the best in
years of peace so far as ready em
ployment is concerned.
Suph prophesy; in the opinion of
Atlanta business men, is gratifying,
and dill;- they say, refute the ca
lamity howlers who are always par
ticularly active in seasons of presi
dential campaigns.
“In the readjustments through
which we are now passing it has
been unavoidable that there should
be certain disarrangements of in
dustry. But with the continuance
of a pronounced world shortage >f
many materials manufactured ar
ticles it is inconceivable that stag
nation could be either general or
prolonged.
“Undoubtedly one of the most
disturbing factors in the situation
is the problem of price level. Until
uncertainty is largely removed,
business men will avoid large com
mitments and as leng as they feel
inclined to pronounced consrfva
tism, resumption and expansion are
certain to be somewhat retarded.”
Mr. Hunter shows that the Unit
ed Stater, is becoming more and the
center of the world’s dependence,
that prosperity in the South is be
ginning and that the, as he puts its,
“the achievements of the future
are certain to outrival those of the
past.”
