examinations have been made of the
fruit and foliage of sprayed trees at vari¬
ous intervals after spraying whieh in¬
dicate that after the water ha3 evaporated
the poison soon entirely disappears,
either through being blown off by the
wind or washed off by rains, so that after
fifteen days hardly the minutest trace can
be discovered.
In tbe line of actual experiment as in¬
dicating the very finely divided state of
the poison and the extreme small quan¬
tity which is used to each tree, Professor
A. J. Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, has conducted some striking ex¬
periments. A thick paper was placed
under an apple tree which was thoroughly
sprayed on a rather windy day, so that the drip¬
ping was excessive. After the
dripping had ceased, tbe paper (covering
a space of seventy-five square feet) was
analyzed and four-tenths of a grain of
arsenic was found.
The whole matter was well summed up
by Professor Riley in a recent lecture
before the Lowell Institute in Boston, in
which he said: “The latest sensational
report of this kind was the rumor emana¬
ting from London within the last few
weeks that American apples were being
rejected for fear that their use was un¬
safe. If we consider for a moment how
minute is the quantity of arsenic that can
under the most favorable circumstances
remain in the calyx of an apple we shall
see at once how absurd thi9 fear is, for
even if the poison that originally killed
the worm remained intact one would have
to cut many barrels of apples at a meal to
get enough to poison a human being.
Moreover, much of the poison is washed
off by rain, and some of it is thro wn off
by natural growth of the apple, so that
there is as a rule nothing left of the
poison in the garnered fruit. Add to
this the further fact that few people eat
apples raw without cutting away the
calyx and stem ends, the only parts
where any poison could under the mo3t
favorable circumstances remain, and that
these parts are always cut away in cook¬
ing, and we see how utterly groundless
are any fears of injury and how useless
any prohibitive measures against Ameri¬
can apples on this score.—New York
