PRODUCTION OP PYEETHRUM. 



Pyrethrum powder is now mainly pro- 

 duced in Japan, although before the war 

 large supplies were forthcoming from 

 Dalmatia, Persia and certain parts of 

 eastern Europe. The powder is made 

 from the dried heads of Chrysanthe- 

 mum Parthenium and the center of pro- 

 duction in Japan is in the Okayama and 

 Wakayama Kens in the Kobe district, 

 the port of Kobe exporting practically 

 the whole output. The area under cul- 

 tivation in Japan rose from 2,760 acres 

 in 1914 to 10,712 acres and 10,474 acres 

 respectively in 1917 and 1918, the great- 

 est yield being in 1918, when the crop 

 was estimated at 7,720,000 pounds. In 

 the year 1913 the largest foreign pur- 

 chaser of the Japanese flowers was 

 Great Britain, which took 184,930 

 pounds, while China purchased the larg- 

 est amount of insect powder, 77,084 

 pounds. During that year the exporta- 

 tion to the United States amounted to 

 only 30,376 pounds of flowers and 16,- 

 027 pounds of powder. In 1918, how- 

 ever, the United States was by far the 

 largest purchaser of flowers, exports 

 to this country amounting to 2,721,993 

 pounds, or eighty-four per cent of the 

 total exportation. China, however, is 

 still the leading purchaser of insect 

 powders, exports to that country 

 amounting to 206,682 pounds in 1918, 

 while the export of powder to the United 

 Kingdom amounted , to but 120,949 

 pounds, or about fourteen per cent of 

 the total exportation. Mainly owing 

 to a shortage of foodstuffs, many farm- 

 ers in Japan have abandoned the cul- 

 tivation of pyrethrum and are growing 

 cereals.
