THE KA’J'CBDAY, MAY J4, 1692. IP. I I . IM A IR , Editor mdJProp’r PRICK t l . a O P t R ANNUM. The following report of experiment made to determine tlie amount o f copper and arsenic adjuring to fruit that had been sprayed with Bordeaux mixture and other 1 compounds is taken .from bulletin 17 of the Hatch Experi­ ment station ofthaMlwachusetts Agri* cultural college at Amherst; • GHAPW. •During the early aotuhm the board of New York City Condemned several curloads of grapes as dangerous to the publichealthandorderedthemdestroy od, because,they,.were slightly disfig­ ured with the Bordeaux mixture which hod been-used by the growers to prevent mildew and rot. This caused a ‘ 'scare” among the dealers and consumers aud .a serious fall in prices which affected the market more or less for the rest of the season. To determine pOsttvely the amount of copper adhering to- ,jthe grapes- -grown in the college vineyard, two lots of fruit, of ten pounds each, were selected; one from vines.sprayed with . the Bordeaux mixture tbropgout the season, and which .were Very badly disfigured, and the other from vines that were treated with the Bordeaux mixture up to the middle of June, theu with two applicationa.of the am monicul carbonate -of copper and which were riot in the least disfigured. An analysis of these two samples was made at the state experiment station In the first, sample No. 1 , there was round only 2 * 1,000 of 1 'per pent, of oxide of copper, an amount so small that one would need to eat from oue- hulf.to one ton of these grapes, stems, skins and alLtb obtain the least iajuri mis effect,-and that notwithstanding the fact that the huuches wereselected from those having the largest amount of the copper mixture adhering to them. In sample No. 2 not a trace o f copper could be found. It would seem from the above that even under tlib most careless use. o f the copper solutions, no injurious effects need he feared, and that when properly appli­ ed there will not' be a trace of copper left upon the fruit at harvesting. APPLES. Early in December, the Pall Mall Gazette, of Loudon, England, pub­ lished nn HFtiple beaded "American Apples. Alarming Allegations—Are They Doctored With Arsenic?” Then the statement is made "that American orchardists use arsenic in such large quantities to protect their fruit from insects as to. completely saturate it, and that the blioqm or white powder found on the surfitce of American ap­ ples is arsenic, brought tec the surface by evaporation, ami if the fruit is eaten, this should I ks wiped off to avoir! injurious effects. "That the delicate, unnatural (?) bloom o f the American apples iAdue to arsenic, a drug that is largely used by people, ('specially the fair sex' inAmerica, to make the complexion fair,” and other statements equally absurd amt with- st shadow of foundation. The state­ ments were undoubtedly made iu the interest of circulators for the purpose o f injuring the sale of American ap­ ples in the English market. To determine the,amount o f copper and arsenic adhering to the surface of apples (for it coukt not have been ab­ sorbed into the substance Of the fruit) which had been sprayed three times with the Bordeaux Mixture and Paris green, twenty apple*, nrifnSuring one peek, were taken to the State Exper­ iment Station for analysis. .The ' amount o f copper oxide found on these apples was twenty-two thous­ andths (,022) :U4\/owe grain. This equals about flWV teu-thounamlts ( . 000 $) of one m or requiring two INfei i aiid bamfa t* yield one ounce o f popper oxide. The specimens selected Tor this analysis ware thorn with the roughest surface, to which would adhere mow of the copper solution o f j^aris green than to the average apples. Not a trace of arsenic could be de­ tected in this analysts, as Paris green (average samples of Paris green con­ tain about thirty-three parts o f oxide of copper and sixty-one parte of arse- nious oxide) was rot used aftei July 1 , but it was probably all washed off. during the three months following, before the appleswere gathered, which was October 1 . When we consider the fact that probably not one fruit-grower in one hundred throughout the country uses Paris green at all, and that not one barrel in thousandscrime,from sprayed trefes, the absurdity of the "scare" be­ comes still more apparent.
