APPENDIX II ANSWERS TO CIRCULAR. 483 



about 75 cents. The labor and the flour or other materials are also additional. [ J. W. 

 Du Bose, Montgomery. 



From 20 cents to $1 ; much cheaper in solution. [H. A. Stollenwerck, Perry. 



No such thing as protection. This Paris green is costly, dangerous, and worthless. 

 [J. C. Matthews, Dale. 



The cost would be very small for securing logs to make fires ; in fact so little as to 

 be almost nominal. [T. S. Edwards, Pope. 



Not more than $5 per acre. [E. T. Dale, Miller. 



FLORIDA. 



From 1 to $1.50 per acre. [John Bradford, Leon. 



GEORGIA. 



I have never tried it, as I have never been visited by the worms but once (in 183fi), 

 and then too late to have any damage done. It is my opinion, though, that it could 

 be used at a cost of 10 cents per acre. [M. Kemp, Marion. 



More than the crop is worth. [S. P. Odorn, Dooly. 



Can't say ; arsenic is cheap ; not a great amount : but of so little moment never tried 

 to know. [William A. Harris, Worth. 



LOUISIANA. 



About $4.50 per acre. [H. B. Shaw, Concordia. 



I cannot state the cost of the poison by wholesale and the rate required per acre ; 

 there are large drug-houses in New Orleans which keep and advertise all these articles 

 with prices per quantity and of material per acre. [D. M. Hamilton, West Feliciana. 



MISSISSIPPI. 



The cost is trifling : one post, six feet, 3 cents ; one pan, 50 cents; one lantern, 25 

 cents ; one quart of molasses, 10 cents ; one pound star candles, 15 cents ; total, $1.03. 

 The articles at wholesale at half rates. The poorest fermenting molasses, at 18 cents 

 per gallon, is the best. An acre can be protected for 75 cents. [ J. W. Burch, Jeffer- 

 son. 



No means of forming an opinion. [C. Welch, Covington. 



Probably $3. [D. L. Phares, Wilkinson. 



It will cost but little to use the lights, and that is the only protection I believe there 

 is, and that is only partial. [George V. Webb, Aniite. 



SOUTH CAROLINA 



Cost, $3.75 per acre. [James W. Grace, Colleton. 



TENNESSEE. 



Cost per acre of protecting a crop of cotton by the use of Paris green by any of the 

 present imperfect means of application, $10. Of course this might be reduced by bet- 

 ter methods of application to at least $3. Cost of the next best method if generally 

 used, lighted fires, $7 per acre or even a little less. [A. W. Hunt, M. D., Perry. 



TEXAS. 



Not less than $5. [S. B. Tackaberry, Polk. 



Suppose the cost per acre to protect against worms would be $1 to $1.50, it would have 

 to be gone over two or three times. [O. H. P. Garrett, Washington. 



About $1 per acre. [P. S. Clark, Waller. 



Cost 25 cents per acre. [R. Wipprecht, Comal. 



The price varies of course with the market price of material, flour and Paris green 

 being cheaper the present year. The cost changes also in proportion to the sizex>f the 

 plant ; on a small or low growth the cost is less. On an average 30 pounds of flour 

 and 1 or 1 pounds of Paris green is sufficient for an acre, which at the present time 

 would amount to $1.25 to $1.50, besides the cost of applying the same at about 10 cents 

 per acre. [ J. H. Krancher, Austin. 



The cost other than labor, with arsenic, is very little, say 4 cents an acre for each 

 application. The poison is sometimes applied from three to eight times. Some con- 

 tend that in this way they know it to prove a perfect success. [A. Underwood, Bra- 

 zoria. 



Paris green in solution will cost from $1 to $1.50 per acre ; in a powder will cost from 

 $1.50 to $2 per acre. A good force-pump is best for the solution, and a very fine wire or 

 brass sifter for the powder is what I have used, and find them very effectual. The 

 sifter must be finer than the finest flour-sifter. [S. Harbert, Colorado. 



The preparation of arsenic above referred to can be furnished to farmers at a cost of 

 25 cents per acre. [J. W. Jackson, Titus. 



If the lamp and pan project works, which in my opinion is the best, being less labor, 

 less dangerous, and at a cost of not more than 15 cents per acre. [Natt Holman, Fay- 

 ette.
