REFUSES ARSENATE
AT PRESENT PRICES
The Georgia State Board of Ento¬
mology, at a meeting held last Wed¬
nesday, passed the following resolu¬
tions:
"A complete canvass of the situation
has convinced the Board that the pres¬
ent market quotations on white arsenic,
the raw material from which calcium
arsenate is made, have no justification
in point of fact. It is obvious that these
high prices are due 'solely to the manip¬
ulation of the market in an effort to
obtain every cent possible from the
southern farmers.
“The Board does not feel justified in
purchasing, and will not purchase ar¬
senate at the prevailing prices. More¬
over, while the Board does not in any
vay assume responsibility for advising
, my one who wishes to, not to buy uv
-euate, it does not recommend that tin
general public purchase it at the pres¬
ent prices.
“The Board is still bending every ef¬
fort toward making a contract which
will provide calcium arsenate at a ret
amiable price, but in the event it fails,
to secure a price which, in its judg¬
ment, will be fair ami reasonable to the
cotton producers, It will decline ti make
a contract for the year 1923.”
