American. Cotton Association in an ad
dress here today . The eradication of
Uhe pest will be hindered, however, he
"Tsald, by an inadequate supply of dusting

- 'Regarding efforts the department of
- agriculture is making to confine the pink
. boll weevil " to ; the infested , areas ;r In
'.Louisiana and Texas, he asserted the de-
" tpartment's willingness to place a fed
eral quarantine . . ' Everybody interest
ed in eotton ought to' realize, however,'
.'.J said, ''that the thing must be done
-bow or not at all. Extermination is
I possible bnlyat the beginning of infes
v.tatlon, when the insect oecnpiee only
very restricted areas. Unless the pink
boll, worm is exterminated now and it
.-cannot be exterminated except, by abso-
. lute eo-operatioa of the 'states concern
edit will sweep ,over the entire - eot-
- .ton belt and will inevitably: inflict much
'greater damage than the boll weevil has
, vdone." :- .'''j; "v.; ;;r
Mr. Meredith said the test of calk-ium
'.arsenate as a poison that would elimi
tiate the ordinary boll weevil was tried
last .year on an abandoned farm - ' ' The
department divided the field --into- three
wtrips," he said. ."The unpoisoaed strip
on one side produced 48 pounds of cot
ton, the strip on the other aide produced
; -0 pounds and the strip down tbe-mid-dle
where the drinking water was pois
, oned produced 480 pounds of cotton.
More than' 9,000 acres of eotton land
, in western Texas were cleared of cotton
'plants and even the bolls and leaves, the
secretary told the members of the aa
jwciation, in-order to- check the spread
- f the pink boll weevil. ' Sinee then the
-same tactie. were used in the Pecos val
- ley and the- Great bend district, and non
cotton and regulated cones established in
. - the infested areas and buffer strips be"
' jrond them and also along -certain por
. tiona of the Mexican border to prevent la
testation from Mexico. .
' "Fumigation chouses wen established
At points of .entry an along the Bio

Quoting . from a 1 preliminary- report,
' 4he secretary gave some of the figures on
ttheeoet of eottoa production,,,
Iwdy has known, just hew, much it has
ott to produce eottoa.b,c i faid,1 ."The
department tof agriculture undertook to
; dlad out. The ofSee of farm manage

ost of producing eotton under varying
.-eoadrUons, The work' has just" been
tonipleted Wd tho preliminary report
ahowa that, for the 1918 emp the eost
. Tark5d from: 1.08 to $1.03 per pound.
It is LnteresGng to note that Si per cent
f the eotton on the, farms studied, rep
resenting gS per cent fthe producers,
was grown at a eost of 28 cents per
-pound, or .less. The Average eost of
production was 23 cents' a pound., The
Averaga selling priee was 29 cents and
vea at this price one fourth -of , the
farmers" produced their eottoa at a loss.
Owing to rodoeed yields , and increased
wages the eost ef producing the' 1919

TROTH AT COST " V, ;V-' '''
. - . OP 3c:PS POUKD.
- WASHINGTON, March 25 The de
partment ef agriculture" announced today
that investigation -just concluded by the
office of farm, management of the de
partment shows that at price based oa
- a "bulk line" eost ef 28 cents per pound
lint 85. per cent of the eotton grown in
1918 oa 842 farms from which cost fig
ures were obtained would have produced
m profit. Sixty six per -ecu t of the farms
concerned would bars made money,' the
department aald. At priee baaed 6a
the average eost of production, which the
department figured at 23 cents per pound,
only 351 of the 842 farmers, or 41.7 jer
- cent, would have made a profit, it was
" stated. - ' .
The "bulk line," it was explained,'
narks the point on a scale of costs, about
which the price of a commodity must
' bang if' an adequate number of producers
1 are to be kept in the business- la the
of the 1918 crop, the pricesctua-
ly obtained eccided with the bulk line,
tve fames reccWrj.about 23-centa for
the product:
The farms on" which the experiment
was conducted are located in Alabama,
Georgia, South .Carolina, and Texas." ; '
' The netTcodt of production, it was
found, ranged from eight cents to 1 1.07
per pound,' only, three farms, totalling
35 acres, producing at the minimdm cost;
22 showing less than. 14 cents, . while
more than fifty ranged from 50 cents to
1.07.; . v.; r'KST
"The more generally farmers ' study
Ltheir costs and adjust their production
I . V i . . . x' ' -
on , me ' Dasis 01 , eosis aau prit-i-u, mo
more readily will economic forces operate
to maintain production on a . profitable
basis," the' department states..'. "The
government used the "bulk line" during
the war for price fixing in industries
other than agriculture, setting a price so
that from 80 to 90 per cent of a com
modity eouldbe produced at a profit.
A certain percentage of producers- may
be expected to lose on a given staple in
any given year, but economists agree
that if prices sink so low as to make this
percentage very large, say as low. as the
line of the average cost of , production
so many will lose that production of that
staple will lend to fall off until prices
rise to a point where they will again cov
er the cost of the bulk of the product. "
