‘TEAR GAS’ USED
IN SOIL BATTLE
Harmful Organisms Killed by
Injecting Chloropicrin.
By F. L. STARK
Use of old World war “tear gas”
in another type of warfare in the
soil is being used today, reports of
the plant pathology department at
Cornell university indicate.
This gas is used to partially
sterilize soils and kill harmful or
ganisms. Known as chloropicrin, a
heavy, oily, colorless liquid that
readily vaporizes into a pungent tear
gas, it quickly changes to a gas and
diffuses throughout the soil after in
jection.
For many years it has been re
alized that the soils in which plants
grow harbor injurious organisms.
Several means have been used to
destroy them, namely cultural prac
tices, heat, and chemicals. The pos
sible use of chloropicrin was re
vealed during the World war when
large quantities were used as tear
gas.
Since then, the use of this war
time material has been developed
far enough so it can be used suc
cessfully to partially sterilize soils.
The gas is toxic to all forms of life,
and it is completely volatile; there
fore, no residue remains in the soil
upon aeration.
The material is applied into the
soil by an applicator, which works
on the principle of the hypodermic
needle. Small amounts are injected
into the soil to a depth of about six
inches. Injections are usually made
about 12 inches apart. With the ap
paratus, one man can treat from
1,000 to 1,500 square feet of soil in
an hour.
Chloropicrin is being used to steri
lize soil to eliminate disease-causing
fungi, insects, nematodes, and weeds
and their seeds. Its most efficient
use to date has been in compost
piles, but it has also been effective
ly used to sterilize seed beds and
in benches or ground beds in green
houses.
Its extensive field use is said to
be limited only because of the rath
er high cost of the material.
Soil conditions at the time the tear
gas is applied are important. In
fumigating soils, the gas must pene
trate through all parts of the soil to
destroy the organisms, and a lethal
concentration of the gas must be
kept in contact with the organisms
long enough to kill them.
After the pests are killed, the va
por should escape as rapidly as pos
sible, the horticulturists were told.
The speaker stated that .a light
sandy soil with a medium amount
of moisture, and at a fairly high
temperature (above 65 dgrees
Fahrenheit) is ideal for fumigation.

Farmers Test Fertilizer
With Field Experiments
The idea that modern farmers buy
a pig in a poke, or accept farming
practices without giving them a
practical trial, is exploded by the
results of a recently completed sur
vey of 32,000 farmers.
Forty-seven per cent of 32,000
farmers interviewed in 35 states re
ported that they conducted experi
ments in their own fields, tried out
different kinds and amounts of fer
tilizer, and made comparisons on
results obtained. Not only did the
survey conducted by the National
Fertilizer association show that
farmers test the values of different
kinds of fertilizers and fertilizer
practices, but 44 per cent reported
that they conducted experiments on
fields with and without fertilizer to
find out for themselves whether the
practice pays. This represents a
gain of 7 per cent over the number
who conducted a similar experiment
in the last survey made on this
point.
After cons;dering the results of
their tests, 63 per cent reported that
they are planning to use more fer
tilizer, and only 12 per cent stated
they had had any unsatisfactory re
sults from fertilizer during the past
three years.
