About Paris Groan.
In reference to ihe use of Paris Orecn,
s a preventative of the ravages of the po
tato bug. Mr. Samuel L. Allen, Citina
minson, N. J , writes to the Phil'a Press,
dale of J une 11th, as follows:
"Several articles denouncing tho use of
Paris Green for stopping the ravages ol
the potato bugs have been going llie rounds
of the papers, writtcJ by physicians nud
others, who Fpeak ns those having knowl
edge, yet whose teachings seem very un
wai r.intable
"Tticy claim that its use mint ciako the

one pound of green lo the acre is sufficient.
This would contain 7,t580 grains. A good
yield ot potatoes is atiout 12 bushels, or
7 500 ib; so that it is needful lo use about
one grain of poison to the pound of pota
toes grown. By a short calculation it will
also be found tuat there are over 2,000,000
pounds of soil, counsing nine inches deep.

Vet eijrhty millions of people in this conn,
ary and Great liiiiain aiono make them a
proTineut article of food; and llie crop
:growu whero '.he largest amounts of these
poisons are used is considered Ihe best!
"The probability of the tuber absorbing
an appreciable amount, of the poison
.through Ihe l::oves is extremely problem
atical, as ihe oliice of the leaves is one
chiefly of exhalai ion, as the familiar bell
glasses and Wardian cases indicate. Again,
the potatoe is a solonui.i, belonging to the
snrce class ns the deadly nightshade, its
leaves poisonous, which, no doubt, is the
cause of the poisonous nature of ihe Colo
rido beetle, which feeds upon them. The
skin of Ihe tubers is also poisonous, waicr
in which potatoes with the skins on have
toeen boiled bciug known to poisou stock;
yel uo food is more universal or healthful
tUau the- potato.
'The fear of Paris green, applied in
uch limited quantities as is usual, being
deleterious to the health of those using the
tubers, I believe to be an error arising
from waul of knowledge of the manner ot
growth of the crop; and this seems amply
proven, too, by the well-known fact thai
Western farmers have for years applied
this remedy and eaten the putatoes with
impunity.
"J believe Tarts greeu Is the remedy for
t he Colorado potato beetle safn, cheap
and effectual and hope farmers will apply
it carefully, and I tint no one will dream
that its application to laud at (he rate of
one gram to each 2o pounds of soil, or in
be proportion of one part of poison to 2,i
112,000 pans of soil, will injure the crop."
One who has given the subject, some at
tention, recommends ihe mixing of one
part of Paris green with six parts of flour,
and dusting the compound ou the vines
when they are dry. A good and cheap
dusting box can be niaUe by punching
small holes in the bottom of a discarded
fruit can. Cure should be taken to tie
something over the t'.p of the can, and a
handkerchief or cloth over the mouth and
nose, so as to prevent the inhaling of any of
the poison'
